When things go terribly wrong in a group and you happen to be a leader there are three truths to hold on to:
Dr Okoe Boye
- The leader bears ultimate responsibility; accept all blame , do not explain matters, people shouting at you do so to get out poison and pain, once out, same people will help build again.
-
Let go of all grudges; many are those you might have helped but will also play victim, forgive , be the bad person as the leader and they too will join the rebuilding process.
- Hold on to hope and give it to all; hope is so critical. We must believe that the same people who rejected us will come for us soon. It is the humility we show, the listening we do and the adaptations we make that will make our journey from defeat to victory shorter.
In conclusion only one person can be right in the democratic process, the voter , only he or she has the power and only he or she deserves commendation.
Dr Okoe Boye
