Before we talk about who is a leader? We need to have a clear definition the word "LEAD". The dictionary defines lead as (a) to show the way by going along with or in front of; (b) to serve, to guide; (c) figuratively, it means to be first among, be at the top of, be head of. Given these definitions, you can say that lead can mean different things to different people. To most people in Nigeria to lead means to be first among, be on top of, be head of. Very few will consider it to mean to serve or to guide. Consequently, it can be said in the general Nigeria parlance, a leader is the one "who is on top."
Sure enough, a leader is right in front and on top but he is there to serve and guide, not to be a law unto himself. A leader is a servant and a motivator.
Ask yourself this question "Am I a leader?"
