Strategic leadership vital in development

FROM the birth of early civilisation that arose among the Sumerians in Ancient Mesopotamia and 500 years later that saw the rise of the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians, there was a common trait that beheld the staging of their monumental establishments.
These empires were not only built from the back of slavery, but through strategic leadership that originated from all aspects of planning to give leverage to development.
Historically speaking, development was driven by a pursuit to be different from the rest, to be a model of show casing the emergence of intellectual and core religious beliefs that upheld these early civilisations.
In respect to today’s definition, civilisation and development seldom go hand in hand.
Why, you may ask.
Take a look around and absorb the surroundings and the implications presented economically and socially. Civilisation is birthed from a platform of achieving and indicating a breakthrough to new levels of human accomplishments.
These accomplishments then pave way for rational thinking, embracing logical and accepted time tested principles.
What can we surmise from these being said?
The scales tip towards balance through rational thinking and foresight in establishing control measures that upkeep and maintain the overall welfare of families, communities and as a nation.
For all that is concerning, planning has to be collective and not singular.
The rite of passage in management and leadership has to be credible and of character that has stamina.
Thus, delivering judicious results and aptly applied conventional wisdom in all aspects of policies, strategies and security.
Overtime leadership tends to be lukewarm in its mandate and wane to the elements of complacency, ignorance, and self-indulgence.
