Famous motivational speaker and business strategist Fela Durotoye is very passionate about Nigeria. He believes the only time the country has had leaders was briefly after independence and that her democratic process is flawed, because it produces rulers, rather than leaders. In this interview with Deputy Political Editor RAYMOND MORDI, Durotoye traces the root of the problem and explains what can be done to change the vicious cycle of poor leadership in 2019 and beyond.
You’ve been involved in leadership trainings for some time. What’s your idea of leadership?
I believe that leadership is an ability to create and deliver a desired outcome. When you consider that for most times the desired outcome is always positive, then you can also say that a leader is anyone who has the ability to make people, places and things better. If you look at leadership from that context, you will realize that it is different from management.
