Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.
My vision is to ensure that the issue of racism be addressed adequately. It is important for people to learn to embrace other people’s culture regardless of their language, skin color, beliefs, and traditions and where they come from. It is a problem that occurs daily especially within an international setting or environment. Even among people from the same country, the issue of being tribalistic is still very prominent. People need to learn to operate in one voice and stop discrimination, as it cannot take us far. It is a fundamental issue happening globally now and must be eradicated before it becomes too late.
What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
The most pressing problem facing our world today is Leadership. Leadership today is very key and very important in every spheres. Our leaders especially in Africa tend to take their own judgments more seriously as opposed to the citizens. Oftentimes, they don’t have the interest of the people at heart. They usually don’t keep to their promises and just sit on the throne to benefit their selfish interest. Also from the institutional angle, there are enormous problems associated to leaders. Majority are Managers, C.E.O, and Directors Etc. but don’t have the attributes of a leader. They are good judge in a particular aspect, and might refuse to embrace the ideas of others. Some of our leaders are also dictators when leading their staffs. This style of leadership does not strengthen team work and not very healthy for employees because the decisions are being enforce in a strictly manner. It can be of benefit in some situations, but also can be an issue to the employees, especially when they know that they can’t contribute to whatever goes on, they will therefore be discouraged with their job responsibilities. They will constantly refer to the manager on every single thing instead of taking initiatives as well
How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
For leaders in institution, it is important that they allow or give room to their subordinates to be themselves and allow them the room to input their contributions. We are not all perfect! Allowing ideas to flow in from different people from different backgrounds keeps the company going and a more perfect working environment. For leaders in government, it is important for them to also say no to corruption and be transparent enough in handling the resources of the country. Leaders should also ensure they have integrity and say no to bad conduct. They also need to address the issue of poverty in our countries and put proper infrastructures in place for citizens to enjoy. Unemployment should also be addressed and people should be empowered on how they can become an entrepreneur. Lastly, terrorism is now being confronted by most countries globally, therefore it is essential for our leaders to put proper mechanism in place.
