ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND PROMOTING EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP IN DANIEL 1:3-4, 17-21
Abstract
From the beginning of time, leadership has been one of the most talked about and sought after feature in human civilization. A strong leader makes the difference between simple existence and excellence. Leaders inspire others, create vision among the followers, and communicate what they want to communicate, show openness, and listen to what their followers want to say. These people do not only create desired values in others, but also change the society positively and in a holistic way. Leadership is a concept that suggests direction, directorship, governorship, governance, administration, jurisdiction, captaincy, control, superintendence, ascendency, rule, command, power, mastery, domination, dominion, premiership, and sovereignty. A leader is a person in authority that takes decision for an organization (Newman 2). It is also not news that many leaders have failed at one point or the other, while some others fail to create the expected impact. This paper looks into the place of academics in effective leadership by also looking into the studies which Daniel in Daniel chapter 2 passed through in order to become effective in office.
