My Father's Leadership

The decline of social structures in America, that families, churches and communities are held together in large part to the absence of fathers at home and ineffective leader is assigned. When I was on the importance of quality leadership reflect, I think of my father, Johnson Kituku muzzle.

He served in the King's African Rifles (if Kenya was colonized by the British) and left to start a small business venture in Kangundo. Being full of energy has been in this business.Finally, several buildings owned, operated several businesses. His hard work transformed our living structure of a unit, we shared with rodents, snakes and ticks, a compound with twelve rooms and a well.

My father was a visionary. He knew that the future is bright for her children, if there was an education. He has made us aware in a consistent manner. He encouraged us to study and has done everything possible to remove anything that it becomes an obstacle only in connection with his visionReality. We were not allowed to go to the movies until we were in high school. He thought, shoes, trousers were long, or clocks destructive to young minds.

The ability to guide and inspire ordinary people to do what seems unusual is that my father apart. I remember one morning in November 1974 when my brother and I were sitting in the entrance examination to high school. Before we left home, my father woke up and wrapped a towel around him and without his shirt, said: "My children, I doprepared for this day. This day will be a turning point for a better future. . Think of what can go right, "I have never forgotten the color of the cloth, the wall was leaning against the Pope, and those words -" Think about what can go right. "

word of dad all to myself. He often lost when I brought home my report card, and I was humiliated for me to spend six years in three phases. In January 1975, the results were announced and my brother and I were too high, the government approvedSchool. Dad gave us at the University of Nairobi door and said, "My children, that where men and women to get knife, cut their share of the national cake." That's where we both admitted six years later, after two successful tests of a school that hundreds of thousands of students have been eliminated.

Another area in which my father has shown the wisdom of the leadership was when we worked in our garden. We had coffee and maize gardens. Dad knew what he wanted to be completed and how longshould. At about 04:00 clock, he would show, with the help of additional and sometimes with food. It would also clear his throat, shortly before announcing his presence - so that we can find in the conversation of young people occupied. She never found us sitting down! Good leaders try to catch your employees doing something good.

Dad was a lifelong learner. Due to circumstances beyond his control, he would not have had the opportunity to go to school for more than two or three years. He taught himself toto read. He never used a calculator in their inventory levels or the administration of its finances - everything was hand written by mental arithmetic.

One thing that surprised me was my father find the reading of books of literature, Ngugi wa Thiongo. I was in grade school and high school class work Ngugi's books were in our literature class. I knew it was for him to read the books hard at English, but I was impressed by his determination - I learned that learning is a lifelong project.

There are no wordsdescribe the mood to celebrate when my father and my brother and I passed the national examinations. While my mother thought her joy in her heart, my father literally leave the "world" about the success of his children - in essence was his own success. He called his friends and host a dinner without us. Then came home and praise us for our efforts. If we admitted to the University of Nairobi, were father gave each of us a gift of 5,000 Kenyan shillings (about $ 400.00 at that time more than one schoolPrincipal salary).
