As Christians in the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the symbol of Christianity and the harbinger of peace, love and good tidings, It is imperative leaders imbibe the leadership strategy style of “birthday boy” as it is modeled by Senator Jimoh Ibrahim,CFR
So much of the activity I see among leaders today is focused on reaching the masses because of the popularity. There is nothing wrong with that but their goal is ” breadth” not for generations to come.
But some leaders like Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, CFR had a much different leadership strategy. His goal is not “reach” or popularity. In fact, as strange as it sounds, he actively discouraged publicity. “The only man I know that is not a prophet but he can see visions”.
Let us look at the similarities between the strategic leadership style of Jesus Christ ( birthday boy ) modeled by Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, CFR as we celebrate the memorial of Christ ‘s day.
*He led himself*: This is where all leadership starts. Self-leadership precedes team leadership and public influence. If you can’t lead yourself, you can’t (and shouldn’t) lead others.
This is why Jesus often withdrew to quiet places to pray (see Matthew 14:23).
Where were people complaining about boosting of Senator Jimoh Ibrahim’s success when he left private jet and luxuries for 5 years to study and gain substantial knowledge to lead himself and people of the world globally? ” If nine degrees and two PhDs na beans, run ham”
“He trained the twelve* . He chose the twelve disciples to be “with him” (see Mark 3:14a) He taught them and also gave them assignments (see Mark 3:14b–19). However, he also shared with them his daily life.
Like the Apostle Paul would do years later, he poured into them his very life (see 1 Thessalonians 2:8).
Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, CFR will not send you work without proper training. There is no iota of lies in an adage that says you can’t give, what you don’t have. What is mental magnitude of some leaders before organizing trainings for their disciples? The leadership philosophy of Awolowo and Plato shouldn’t be substituted to emotional choosing of leaders by some people.
“He taught the multitudes* . Yes, Jesus had a public ministry. He occasionally spoke to thousands. However, he didn’t pander to these groups or “tickle their ears.” He confronted the status quo, jarred his listeners’ sensibilities, and often taught in parables.
Interestingly, he didn’t feel the need to clarify everything. He often left his audience confused and wondering what he meant. His goal was apparently to shift their paradigm and get them to think.
Some leaders speak to their followers only when they need their votes, tell them lies that they want to hear even used turning mouth to cajole them. Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, CFR will never deceive you because he needs your votes apart from spareing quality time to keep the ears of his followers close.
When he said federal government should borrow then, some wanted to catapult stone through their television to him, what is the situation now? He talked about food vouchers, some said he is drunk, Oriyomi and mummy Tadenikawo can explain better. ” SJI no be prophet but he can see visions”
*The Strategic Achievement of Jesus* :
Jesus achievement in just three years was suberb in just few days, the achievements of Senator Jimoh Ibrahim in Ondo South are:
Creation of Coastal State bill( scale first and second readings)
Creation of College of Education, Igbekebo now in public hearing
Let me keep achievement on Bitumen Commission bill as a suspense
Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, CFR focused on tru depth and long – term impacts as a follower of Jesus’s leadership strategy which worked well evidently within generations before some followers disguise to use his name to turn world upside down ( Act 17:6)
Happy Christmas Aseyori people of Ondo South 🌹❤️
