In actual fact, we need a Jerry Rawlings or a Lee Juan Yew. We will settle for a Julius Malema but not Mandela. The seeds of the prosperity which Ghanaians enjoy today under President Nana Addo, were planted by Jerry Rawlings in 1979 when Rawlings overthrew the government either eliminated or imprisoned at least 300 corrupt government officials and their syndicated cabals. We need an educated dictator with a heart of gold and a progressive mind.

[@BLessJ]

Honesty is considered a personal quality more than a professional one, and its importance illustrates that people want to follow leaders they can personally respect and identify with. Competent People want their leader to be capable, effective, and experienced; no one wants to follow someone who may lead them into failure. Inspiring The emotional energy that a leader puts forward will infect her whole team. A leader must be able to communicate her vision in such a way that other people understand her passion and believe that it will improve lives. Forward-thinking People want their leaders to have a clear idea of where they are headed. They want them to envision a better future and work toward it, rather than merely living with the current status quo.
