Most leaders are trained to lead with their heads, not their hearts. They’re conditioned to put business before benevolence.
Being a compassionate leader is more than just being a compassionate individual and caring for a colleague who is in pain. A compassionate leader, as well as being
a compassionate person, encourages compassion and caring in the wider organisation. A compassionate leader
encourages his followers to talk about their problems and to
provide support for one another.
Mukadam Asiwaju Asiru Idris is a unique and compassionate leader that listen and watch keenly before acting or responding to issues and all he’s concerned about is the welfare of his followers irrespective of your tribe, age or religion.
Below are some of the attributes that makes Mukadam Asiwaju Asiru Idris a compassionate leader:
Mukadam is a leader that manage his mood, he know feelings are catchy and he use positive emotions to inspire, not infect others with negative, de-motivating feelings.
He put people before procedures. He’s willing to set aside or change outmoded or emotionally dissonant rules and regulations for the greater good and welfare of his people.
He show sincere, heartfelt consideration, He genuinely care for the well-being of others and have a humane side that puts others needs before his own.
He leads passionately and purposefully with a shared vision that plays on the positive, energising and renewing power of hope in his followers.
He engage his followers in frank, open dialogue and speak candidly with truth, humility, respect and conviction and make it safe for his followers to do so too.
He’s connective and receptive, he read what other his followers are thinking and feeling. This empathetic connection keeps him in touch and in tune with them.
He take positive and affirming action. He act out compassion, he don’t just pay lip service to a course, he make a promise, act on it and keep it.
I pray that God will continue to give him the zeal resources and grace to continue his service and benevolence to mankind.
