Christian Leaders Speak On Leadership

Extraordinary Leadership

The Bishop of the Word of Life Christian Ministry, Rev. Dr Isaac Quaye, spoke on the qualities of extraordinary leadership at a leadership seminar which formed part of a five-day Wesleyan Revival organized by the Accra Diocese of the Methodist Church of Ghana.

He said that although a leader’s gift was what shot him up, it was character that kept him in that position.

He, therefore, urged leaders to develop good character, stating, “Charisma without character is equal to failure. Your gift will always shoot you up but it is your character that will keep you there.”

Emphasising that a good leader needed a vision, a plan and a strategy, Rev. Quaye noted that the bane of most charismatics was their inability to plan but rather leave everything to the spirit of God.

What makes one a leader?

For his part, the Director General of the Ghana Maritime Academy, Rev. Dr Peter Azuma, who was the third speaker, enumerated the traits of a leader, some of which he said were the ability to mobilise people, review strategies constantly to improve on them, humility and being a chief servant of high integrity.

“If you carry on doing what you always do, you will continue getting what you always get,” he stated.
