Such leaders crave idolisers and worshipful puppets to gratify them.

It is all about themselves without any attention to the followers. They like to be the next god to be worshipped.

Anyone who intimidates and threatens their position is terrorised, suppressed and dehumanised. This ensures that his followers are worthless, powerless and useless during and after his reign.

The sad aspect of such leadership is that leaders depart without any respect, legacy and hope for the next generation.

And their fall is always devastating as they have raised no one to replace them. It was only themselves. The fall can be beyond repair.

The best option is for leaders to produce more leaders during their reign so the nation can have more when they are gone.

Raising more leaders does not make a leader insecure, uncomfortable and displaced. Instead it increases their standing and profile as mentors, people of achievement and agents of change.

The nation is too huge; one leader is not sufficient.

The more you create and build leaders, the more you will think you have not created enough.

When you have the passion and love to raise the next generation of leaders, they admire, respect and honour you as their guru and senior.

Such an environment enables knowledge, wisdom and understanding to blossom and a wealth of experience to grow that will trigger continuous growth and an explosion of capable leaders.

Real leaders do not suppress and drive out young leaders but nurse, cultivate and produce them in leaps and bounds.

If you claim to be a leader but continue to extinguish others, especially young leaders, do not call yourself a leader. You are a hypocrite.
