What does it take to be in the wrong side of history? Why are some leaders so focused on being on the wrong side?

Mugabe et al: Power that kills!

Luis Franceschi

Good leadership requires that rare mixture of maths and humanity: The math to know how to account for each day at the helm of a team, and the humanity to inspire others by one’s own example.

Dan Beerens puts it well when he writes:

• Leadership is not about speed, ideas, efficiency, or power . . .
• It is about knowing your own limitations and celebrating the gifts of others, it is growing in wisdom, understanding the number of our days, and seeking to understand rather than be understood.
• It is caring for people, always hoping for, and expecting the best.
• It is being brave enough to be vulnerable in front of others.
• It is seeing the big picture of where things are, and building a road to the future with limited casualties.
• It is helping each person to sing their song from the heart, and leading the band in praise to their Maker.

This is why for anyone who has studied a little bit of history it becomes an uphill task to understand why men like Museveni or Mugabe, who in the past were considered intelligent, valiant and heroic patriots of pure pedigree, should now insist on placing themselves on the wrong side of history.
