Leadership From The Perspective Of A Deputy

By IKECHUKWU GILBERT

In this context, respect is reciprocal; and in a boat their must always be a captain. Adjudged well-practicable is the bargain at the top, 'give and take', obtainable and permissible through loyalty, which rides on a well-defined path for an interest, either for a people or self. Follow in totality and get all that there is to enable you serve in totality!

A deepened relationship founded on consistency between Prince Eze Madumere, the Deputy Governor Imo state and his boss the Executive Governor Imo state, Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha has afforded Imo state a one in a life time opportunity for true development like never was.

Understanding the separate leadership rank-lines between them, one the head and the other assisting, the two continue to deliver the initially seemingly impossible feats to Imoliltes. If the truth must be said, with due respect to the impeached former Deputy Governor, His Excellency Sir Jude Agbaso. The short time he spent with the Governor His Excellency, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, was less productive and more controversial, if placed viz a viz same time spent by the current Deputy Governor which witnessed a great manifestation of developmental achievements within the short period of his assumption to office as the Deputy Governor Imo state.

Within this same short time, the staffs under the office of the Deputy Governor like never before had already started singing the praises of this leadership machine, His Excellency Prince Eze Madumere, who not wasting time himself, started in earnest to unleash his free-flowing leadership quality upon his new office to the delight and admiration of the much expectant staffs who till now still find themselves relishing a boss that is ever New before them!

Madumere comes with a revolutionary leadership style, servicing his boss and those under him without losing his head! The Father and Son attachment with Owelle gives room for a most trust-inspired relationship which has since opened the floodgate of development possibilities that has continued to help the administration of his boss, whom he considers a priority, as well as creating opportunities that mollifies the needs that are dependent on him. Relaxing leadership intrigues by total submission to his boss, and always not failing to contribute his development quota, Prince Eze Madumere keeps riding on, riding patiently, in thick and thin, as he keeps satisfying the yearnings of his boss and his people.

Though innocuous in leadership character, carrying all and sundry along for the good of Imo, Prince Eze Madumere, disdains any direct or indirect debasement of his boss. He prefers to swallow the heat to alleviate pressure on the mechanism of state development. It allows his boss more air to continue his good deeds for Imo without distractions, which may well inform the many attacks that have not stopped coming his way.

He may well be fine with it, so long as Imo keeps moving ahead, and the Governor keeps achieving his great lot for Imo unscathed (though the Governor recently vowed to continue to ensure the best for Imo even if it means him getting wounded in the course!), Imo must get better! Thanks to a team of resilience leadership with Eze Madumere greatly involved, it sure is a great team for today and the future!

Liaising in loyalty cum utmost humility at the top to ensure that the rain of development and empowerment continues to fall down has fast become an insignia leadership module for Prince Eze Madumere; sublimity in hard-work, dedication to duty, patience, commitment, loyalty to his boss, humility, pressure management (like he did at the APC 2014 convention Abuja). Things sure seem to be going on well for him regardless his loaded working hours, which may well depict him some workaholic.

But, hey! His constituency is getting better for it; his staff can feel so much of him, and Imo itself is getting tremendously better, with the great effort of his boss, His Excellency, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, who finds a confidant and a most reliable buddy in him.

His humble path may not be everybody's path, but this path seems to bring so much positive results. And if it's some kind of leadership theory of his, logically it is practicably working. Maybe in a lesser or higher category, every man is a leader, somehow the right theory is needed to create that productive spark that ensures leadership success. Prince Eze Madumere is the latest leadership model, maybe one could do with adopting his style, just maybe..
