Mai Ahmad Fatty has said true leadership is often a lonely life in the midst of a crowd, as he spoke on the challenges true leaders face.
According to the GMC leader, fake company and women are some of the ‘back-breaking’ challenges that true leaders grapple with.
Fatty wrote on his official Facebook page on Wednesday: “When you become a leader, there is no looking back. Back- breaking challengers will come your way; false, invective scandals would be levelled against you; enmity, envy & hatred will hound you; alot of fake company and pretense will trail you; women, financial & other temptations will be flaunted at you to bring you down; disappointment, betrayal and machinations will be your permanent acquaintances, etc.
“True leadership is often a lonely life in the midst of a crowd. As a leader, I made mistakes and learned from them. We all do make mistakes sometimes. Mistakes can be great teachers for the wise. You need Allah and good people around you to stay focused on the vision, guidance and protection.
“With respect, humility and sincerity, I seek prayers from all of you to be the kind of God-fearing, morally consciousness, selfless and incorruptible leader that our peoples dream of, and to prevent treacherous entourage and illicit influences around me. Honest leadership is not an easy task. I seek your prayers, and I beseech you to remember me always in your prayers, always.”
