Ironically, those who make good political leaders are often those who least want the position in the first place! These are individuals who do not seek power but who have authority conferred upon them by others who value their judgement.
So what makes a good political leader? A good political leader is:
someone who serves as an example of integrity and loyalty to the people they represent, both to the public and to other political leaders .
someone with good communication and inter-personal skills, who can work with a range of other people, regardless of political party or opinion, to achieve the greatest good for the general population.
someone who can resist the various temptations and lures of the political arena
someone of strong character, with both conscience and charisma
someone willing to listen to the needs of the common people and to represent them faithfully
someone with the courage to stand up and say what needs to be said – rather than just tell the general public what it wants to hear
someone who is willing to make difficult (and possibly unpopular) decisions for the greater good.
An effective political leader will have a leadership style that focuses on coalition and building, while an ineffective leadership situation results from a leader who is a “hustler” – i.e.. who uses manipulation to get what they want, instead of inspiration and motivation. While negotiation and even coercion are sometimes necessary, a good political leader will always try to use persuasion first.
Looking at the effectiveness of his administration,Hon. George Alli have proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is the best Local Government Chairman ,zone C has ever produced. A good leader attracts development to his people,the ongoing survival fund is surposed to be happening in all the local government but sadly only otukpo local government is doing that and it is because the local government has a capable leader in power who always want the best for his people. Looking into his giant strides you will agree with me that this man has a very unique leadership style and that has been scaling him through all this year’s. We look forward to see more of Hon. George Alli in 2023 because this is someone who is always ready to change the narrative.
