The leadership crisis in Sudan ✍️ Professor: Fikri Kabashi, Al-Amin Al-Arabi
The need for leadership has become a human necessity necessitated by the interests of human life in its various aspects, which cannot be achieved without the presence of leadership that coordinates efforts and moves energies to achieve the goals such as they are considered goals and achieve them. It means the art or process of influencing others to exert their efforts with desire and conviction to achieve group goals. Therefore, its importance is represented in the process of influencing the leader's followers and motivating them to contribute effectively to their efforts. to carry out cooperative activity. There are several important elements that make up leadership that most agree on, namely:
(a) The group: There must be a group of people who carry out certain activities, and to coordinate these efforts and activities, there must be a management which does so in order to achieve the specific objectives.
(b) Goals: the need to have specific goals that leaders seek to achieve and achieve across the group.
(c) Influence: Ability of leaders to move and activate group members and persuade them to accomplish their assigned tasks in order to achieve desired goals.
(d) Authority: Researchers and scholars in the field of management have provided multiple definitions, but they all agree that authority is the right by which others are required to perform the work. It also represents the right to give orders and the power to demand obedience and respect. It also represents the power to direct and monitor the actions of others.
Many people confuse the terms leadership and management and view them as two sides of the same coin. But the two terms are actually completely different. A leader can also be a manager, but not all managers are good leaders, and both topics are important. Leadership without management has us living in a world of planning for the future while neglecting the future. immediate achievement that we need to achieve our future goals.
Management alone makes us only see our daily problems that consume us, so we don't have time to think and plan for tomorrow. It also moves us away from distant goals and the big picture and connects them to values and principles. We perhaps forget, in our overriding interest in production, control and quality, that we are dealing with human beings who have their own feelings, rights and needs.
The idea of building future leaders was launched at the World Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2018, which confirmed countries' interest in creating a generation of future leaders capable of achieving real return on the activities and projects they implement. in the context of global and sustainable development. Indeed, the world has suffered for many years from disintegration, wars and corruption of all kinds, and it needs sincere and courageous leaders, dreamers with unlimited ambition, who think about the present and create the future, who turn the compass towards construction instead of singing about the past or waiting for results without planning them.
It is no secret to any discerning person that countries that enjoy economic, political and social stability are those that have been lucky enough to count on courageous and dreamy leaders who created the future and did not just wish it. They predicted the demands of the future and imagined it. have developed long-term plans to advance all aspects that ensure the possession of power in all its elements, and what others see as impossible, they see as dream leaders are possible. After God, they depend on the minds and hands of millions of people. They build trust between themselves and the people by taking care of their interests, achieving justice and fighting corruption. When the people trust their leaders, they dedicate themselves to working to realize the leader's vision and implement his plans. by their leaders. As cruel as this may seem to some, they believe that ultimately it is in their best interest.
Anyone who studies the stories of nation building believes that the most important element of success is the presence of leaders who can plan well and are willing to progress and build effective institutions, and who give education the highest priority. attention and care it deserves. graduate skills that represent the true wealth of the nation, and this is what has happened in many Southeast Asian countries, such as South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and, above all, the Japan, which emerged from the Second World War. injuries, poverty and chaos.
