Our Leaders

And what we need in them

it’s easy to race ahead alone
but difficult to take everyone along

motivation to chase excellence in you
or empathy to place yourself in others’ shoes

amassing wealth to last your future generation
or ensuring food and roof for everyone in your nation

creating pedestals where people like you can stand tall
or a levelled ground where there is an answer to every call

projecting yourself and your truth as that of a god
or listening to the voices around to shape your thought

you need to realise the differences between
successful individuals and successful leaders
it takes a lot to really care about others
