Question 1
Leadership on the other hand does not need to be in position to act or deliver. In that logic any sound individual can lead a group, a team, an association or a movement. However good leadership creates power, motivation and development and does not need to show too much power to get things done, rather leadership shows compassion and draws support.
When there is the ability to do something the specific way that you want it done, one can conclude there is power. Power is the capacity, ability and willingness to act.

This implies that a leader is someone who motivates and inspires other people to be their best by setting a tempo or pace for the rest of the group to follow. A good leadership example is Dr. Martin Luther King Junior who led the civil rights movement for the minority discrimination, because of his good leadership of creating a bond of trust and inspiration in the black liberation process. A Manager on the other hand exerts and maintains control over people by assisting them to bring out the best in the achievement of an organizational goal.

Also to achieve this I am currently pursuing a Master of Public Administration. This programme will help me broaden my horizon and enlighten my level of appreciation of issues so far as policy issues, managing people and resources and organizations are concerned. I have joined the American Society of Public Administration (ASPA). This will enable me get exposed to the rudiments and networks of public administrators. I have also been preparing myself for this vision to fruition by currently working as a part time as purchasing agent for my church and a middle school. I believe these action plans are necessary commitments to bring my vision to reality after the completion of my master’s
