President Paul Kagame is transforming Rwanda from a failed state into a country with a great future. He is profiled in Time magazine’s “Time 100: The World’s Most Influential People.”
Paul’s leadership has several uncommon characteristics as pointed out by Rick Warren (author of best-selling The Purpose-Driven Life and himself a Time 100 honoree). Here are a couple …
“One is Paul’s willingness to listen to and learn from those who oppose him. When journalist Stephen Kinzer was writing a biography of (Paul) Kagame, the President gave him a list of his critics and suggested that Kinzer could discover what he was really like by interviewing them. Only a humble yet confident leader would do that.
Then there is Kagame’s zero tolerence for corruption. Any government staff caught engaging in corruption is publicly exposed and dealt with. That is a MODEL for the entire country — and the rest of the world too,” says Rick Warren.”
Uncommon transformations need uncommon leadership.
