Leadership Vs Competence (Get it right)

Where is a leader's competence?

I'm inspired to write and dedicate this article to all leaders and aspiring ones out there.

The real sense of leadership is insane! Very few are within the scope if not at the utmost peak of it, and a so many are drowned in the ocean of self-competence thereby appearing unlikely to be rescued - an attribute of a megalomaniac.

Leadership can either be learned or instinctive or both but is not pegged on the scale of academic competence which often resulted in delusions.
One might be blessed with the ability to blend all the English grammars and has a serious deficiency or lags in leadership arena.

Having a collective knowledge of all the fields of study without wisdom to use one effectively is nothing but emptiness - a barrel with no content.

How then should a leader be competent?

The strength of a leader rests on how he can achieve a target through others. His competence is seen in how : well he understands the essence or importance of other people's ideas, he bring it out in them, he can filter and coordinating them to achieve efficiency in all ramifications.
Leaders with this wisdom are a rare exception.

The skill to use other people to achieve an objective is very uncommon hence the prevalence of autocracy in disguise as democracy.

"The real competence of a leader is in people and his ability to bring it out in them."
