The key to leadership is responsibility. With your participation, I will solve it. Leaders must not blame others. They must not feel that they are victims of circumstance. So-called leaders, who exert their energy assigning blame, are only advocates for powerlessness and paralysis.
Responsibility is a declaration.
Responsibility is taking a stand that we ourselves are up to the challenge. We assert that we can and will solve the problem. By integrity, I mean standards of moral and intellectual honesty on which a person's conduct is based. By commitment, I mean an intense and abiding passion to give oneself fully and without reservation to the well-being of Africa's people. The final element of leadership is the ability to translate vision into reality.
