A TRUE TEST OF CHARACTER

Good leadership is the singular most important need of the world now because EVERYTHING rises and falls on leadership.

One way of assessing the true character of a leader is by how he/she treats people below him/her......by the way you treat the people who are below you on the economic, social or any kind of ladder.

Please think about these:

How do you treat your cleaner?

Tayo Onaleye
How do you treat your security guard?

How do you treat your driver?

How do you treat the messenger in your office?

How do you treat your house maid?

How do you treat your subordinates?

Truly great leaders treat EVERYONE with honour, dignity and respect- no matter their level.

What do you have that you did not receive from God?

It is only a privilege that you are not the deformed beggar by the road side.

It is only a privilege that you are not the messenger, housemaid, cleaner, security guard or office assistant.

The position you occupy is a trust from God to be used in the service of God and humanity.

You are there to lift up people. It is not for personal consumption or self-gratification. It is an opportunity for service. It is a platform for expressing God's love to people.

Once again, a true test of your character is how you treat the people below you.

How are you fairing on this test? You can become better.

You will succeed.
