“If you want to understand the portrait of leadership, I appeal to Ghanaians to read the book of Habakkuk Chapter 2, Verse Number 2 in the Bible to write the vision on tablet and make it plain so that he who reads it will run with it,” he said.

Mr Awuah-Darko noted that leadership was about transforming society in all spheres of life and if the citizenry would succeed in the transformation of society it would depend on personal leadership over life and choices made.

He made the call when he made a presentation on ‘Leadership and Experiences in Life’at a three-day symposium organised by the Students Representative Council of the Ghana Law School at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration in Accra to orientate upcoming lawyers for leadership roles.

Mr Awuah-Darko asked Ghanaians not to take leadership for granted because their ability to influence to impose their will on others to enable their views to be heard and convince others their vision as leaders were good for citizens.

“Leadership must have the ability to get people to rally around them, whether for an individual requirement or group or for community requirement, convince people to bring them along and the net effect is actually imposing your will but processes and mechanism by which is done is usually not by force.

“One of the issues every leader must do is to leave the position inherited better than it was before because when we got out of the university the job market was tough as it is today, it was difficult so myself and a team who were leading the students’ body at the time managed to impose our will on the university authorities where they changed the degree being awarded to specifically the subject you did.

“Everybody is a leader and we must avoid the concept that it is somebody’s job, or it is somebody’s responsibility to define who they are, what they want to be, and what they can be,” Mr Awuah-Darko pointed out.
