Leadership Liability is a collection of writings, articles, papers, and speeches that Dr. Ekeke has given over the years put together in book form to commemorate Nigeria’s golden jubilee independence anniversary.
In Leadership Liability, Dr. Ekeke argues that the greatest need of this century is not the need for stem cell scientists, more medical doctors, visionary MBA’s, brilliant lawyers, caring educationists, technology and computer whiz kids, genuine religious gurus, hard-working farmers, transparent and honest accountants, heroic sport men and women or even charming and sensual entertainers but finding courageous, compassionate and wise leaders that truly understand the divine obligations of leadership. The greatest need of this century is not only finding oil and gas alternative, finding a cure for diseases such as cancer and AIDS but developing pure, true, genuine and authentic leaders. There are no doubt the professionals and careers mentioned above have made significant contribution to our society and continues to make. However, the greatest need of our society, according to Dr. Ekeke is finding courageous and compassionate people who are capable of bringing lasting solution to the myriad of leadership problems facing the peoples of this planet earth.
Africa is undergoing a terrible waste of human potential and therefore in desperate need of competent and visionary individuals to help bring relief and end the sufferings of millions of people. We live in a world, especially in the continent of Africa, where millions of people are faced with wrenching and insurmountable problems. Thousands are decimated each day due to lack of basic needs of livelihood. The plethora of problems facing our world especially the continent of Africa is not just economic, social, moral, environmental, or political issues but lack of courageous, compassionate and wise leaders.
Dr. Ekeke strongly believes that lack of authentic, wise, moral and visionary leadership is the primary cause for poverty and the travails of our nation. Nigeria does not lack men and women with natural abilities to lead; what is lacking is the failure to lead from godly perspective. Most of the leaders who made impact in our society have been those who led wisely, courageously and compassionately.
Seeking to be a leader is an honorable ambition and a noble task. "If any sets his heart on being an overseer (leader), he desires a noble task (1Timothy 3:1)."However, it requires wisdom, character, integrity, prayer, perseverance, passion, shared vision and strategy in order to lead others. Leadership is a divine and a sacred duty and our society is desperately in need for courageous and strong leaders. Leadership is hard work that requires divine strength, godly wisdom and great courage that can only be given by God. Leading involves great sacrifice and selfless service to the people. Jesus Christ, the greatest leader of all time made this powerful statement, “whoever wants to become great leader among must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first (leader) must be your servant just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to give his life as a ransom” (Matthew 20:26-28). Jesus profoundly made it clear that if one desires to serve in any position of authority and power that one must be willing to serve, be a slave and ready to die. This is what genuine, pure and godly leadership is all about.
Leadership Liability –a clarion call to courageous, compassionate and wise leadership addresses the divine duty and obligations of leaders. In Leadership liability, Dr. Ekeke passionately addresses the religious, moral, social and leadership challenges impacting not just Nigeria but also its indirect impact on other African and Western nations. Leadership liability is a call for moral and godly leadership. It teaches the secrets of godly leadership.
