When President Obama came to Ghana, he made a startling comment in his speech to Parliament. He said: “The country of the 21st century is a country that is willing to do things for itself and not seek help from abroad.” In fact, this is a true statement because all the advanced countries worked for their own economy and Obama needed to dissuade Ghana and Africa from seeking help from the outside world.
In fact, for a country to do well depends mainly on the dynamism of the leader. Times have changed so much that mass knowledge without wisdom and intelligence does not bring successful governance. The 21st century leader must be in tune with the changing times and seasons and shift his knowledge to move with the times. A constant study is then required after academic excellence.
The 21st century leader must know what knowledge is applicable today and use it. However, the leader must be successful in his private enterprise and that can give a level of security to the citizen that he could apply those same skills in the high office of the state. What it then means is: the leader must have a true entrepreneurial spirit, capable of creating and keeping things moving in his private business.
One of the dignitaries in Ghana who has practically demonstrated leadership ability 21 is Dr. Kofi Amoah, a Ghanaian businessman and owner of multiple businesses. He said in a speech he delivered during the grand opening of his multi-faceted entertainment center in Ghana that: his desire is to create something arguably better than international standards in order to position the Ghanaian tourism industry as a key player in the industry. entertainment world. This is a visionary idea of the world, a statement that can only be made by competent people who have practical works to show.
Dr. Amoah has also on several occasions suggested very practical economic policies to the government of the day, but the response has been very cold. This is a man who is also familiar with business trends around the world and Ghanaians can take his word for it. Ghana needs business investors like him who can build industries so that the Ghanaian can exercise his business skills for his direct benefit and the growth of the economy. The trade title name of it “progeny” is a wellspring of multiple businesses that is doing well in Ghana and in business fields around the world.
This is the kind of leadership that President Obama expressed and he, as the American president, is a 21st century leader, so he knew exactly what he was talking about. I think the Americans chose her as their president based on practical achievements in his private life and knew that therefore his promises had a solid foundation. Americans voted for him based on these and not on the black person of him. Ghanaians must grow in the election of their leaders based on very critical issues but not just one such as a promise to reduce the price of oil and partisanship. Only then can we see that although Dr. Kofi Amoah is not in a popular political party, he is actually very good material for the Presidency.
