LEADERS ARE DESIGNED NOT GROWING ORGANICALLY!

Across Africa we have a crisis; and its a crisis of leadership that prove a catastrophic to our daily well-being. Yet we have been led to believe without questioning that linear formal education should be/ and has been an answer to our woes.

Julius Kambarage Nyerere was the first President of Independent Tanganyika. He had a Master Degree from Edinburgh, Scotland. That was a degree in History. 45 years later our leadership lineup is the congregation of certification to the extent of even accepting fake credentials in the form of PhD's ( if the current allegation are true).

Yet what we are missing is the bunch of leaders whose brain are engaged with the whole mind development. Scientists have ascertained that a human brain consists of two sides of the coin. Left brain dealing with the development of what we already know, mathematics, physics, biology, history, English, accounts etc, and right brain that deals with the creativity part of the circle. Unfortunately formal schooling mutes the development of our right brain and thus humans ( even our leaders) fails to be creative, innovative, playful, and above all empathetic.

Listen to the words of our honorable member of Parliament to appreciate how shallow minded our leaders are!! its a pity that a leader tells journalists that what he has is 'vijisenti' compared to other leaders. These are the words from a highly learned lawyer telling the forth organ of the nation, 'The Media'. Again its ironic when a Region Commissioner of Dar Es Salaam shamelessly says that he can not evict people residing at Msimbazi valley amid torrential rain simply because this is the election year.

A solution to the poor moral behaviors of our leaders lays to the way we raise our kids. Mathematics, history, English is necessary and still essential but these are no longer enough if we're really serious in creating a bunch of good and effective leaders. Developing right side of our kids brain will implant empathy and creativity essential for the leaders to appreciate the well being of their electorates.

If we really want to see leaders using the right side of their brain, then President Kagame of Rwanda is one of them. Recently he grounded fleet of luxurious cars belonging to Government executives and donor funded institutions. He is the kind of a leader with empathetic gesture questioning the rationale of excessive expense pertaining big men in his country at the expense of his electorates.


The sooner the better.
