I would like to introduce to you dynamic leaders who
met needs during their time. These men focused on their strength, and were
known for specifically meeting a need. These men served their cause with wisdom,
skill and integrity. Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for these ones,
the ones I call dynamic Leaders....
Albert Einstein...For his wealth of contribution
to science, as a result of his intellectual property. Einstein went on to
establish the law of relativity which was one of the most powerful law at work
in nuclear physics.
Dr.
Ben Carson...For his valuable contribution to the field of neurosurgery. His
outstanding moments were those surgical operations that looked seemingly
impossible. However, he will never be forgotten in John Hopkins.
R.G. Letourneau...This man will not be
forgotten in the history of inventors. What amazes me most about the man was
his ability to align his spirit and soul together. He believed in God, and his
Faith in God resulted into bringing him so much productivity for everyone to
see. He got credits for the tippers, bulldozers, and several other machinery
which are still relevant to this age.
Jack Welch...Respected for his leadership in
General Electric, this man will always be remembered for his innovation,
creative ideas, profound way of reasoning, creative leadership and his
intellectually astute patterns of handling organizational growth.
Martin Luther King Jr....This man was known to
all as a human right activist, but to some people like me, he is a prophet
whose prophecy was fulfilled in this age. He is seen as one of the fathers of civil
reforms. His intellectual property, oratorical prowess and expressional ability
registers to our mind that he was an agent of change. Stood against racism and
refused to stay in the box of racial limitation.
What about these Guys? Do you remember these guys?
Mahatma
Ghandi 
Nelson Mandela (madiba) 
Anwar Sadat
And what
about Christians who took the lead in their generation and are still taking the
lead in this Age?
Kenneth
E. Hagin...known as a founding father of the Christian faith movement. Regarded
by all as a spiritual Leader, Kenneth E. Hagin messages (in books and tapes)
are still relevant to the Christian faith movement. You are not a true believer
if you have not read any of his books, some of which are excerpts from his
sermon.
C.S. Lewis...Regarded by intellectuals as one
of the most profound writer in history, this oxford professor migrated from
doubting the existence of God as an atheist to proving the supremacy of God
(from an intellectual platform)while addressing the issues of Christianity, he
assumed the position of a layman but his facts, logical reasoning,
understanding and thoughts on this matter is still useful to everyone who is
search of the true God. If you still question the existence of God as an
atheist or even as a believer, then I would recommend Clives Staples Lewis’s
writing. With several fictional books to his credit, one could say he was in
his time recognized as an intellectual Giant.
However, I would like to talk about two men who have
inspired my writings still on the subject of leadership.
John C. Maxwell...here’s a man who demystified
leadership for the world to see and like you all know, he still remain relevant
to leadership students all across the globe. His leadership Lessons are useful
to small group leaders, corporate leaders, Christian leaders, academic leaders
and every other leader who would love to build influence by positive impact.
Stephen R. Covey has always been my favorite
leadership author. His approach to the subject is quite deep; his theories are
pragmatically merged with the concept of Management but he clearly
differentiates management from Leadership. He clearly demonstrates leadership
structuring and stability with his profound writings and just like Maxwell, he
cuts across every areas and aspect of Leadership.
I put all these together to give you an insight into
the aftermath effect of leadership mastery. This men, as different as their
circumstances, field, temperament, character and gifting were, they modeled
leadership to the world. They are seen as great leaders of their time. Great
leaders are known for specifics, what are you known for?
