1. Introduction
“To be inspired a great but to be an inspiration is an honor”
The function of a leader is to produce more leader rather than followers.
A leader is like a Shepherd, he stays behind the folk letting the most nimble
go ahead. The lord is my strength and my Shield. My heart trusts in him because
he helps me. My heart leaps for joy and with my song I praise him. [psalm 28: 7]
