Who Is Abdi Mohamoud Omer ?

The Man Of The Year

Leaders shape our nation, communities, and organizations. As humans, we are in need of good leaders to help guide us and the essential large – scale decisions that keep the World moving.   Our Society as Africans, is always quick to identify a bad leader, but very hard to identify a good leader. Because we had never encountered a good leader since we have received our independence from the colonial white man.  Hence, the whole continent is not familiar or capable to define a  good leader.  But according to the Info – centre of the white man.  After examining the resources available across the Web.  After I settled on a handful of informative articles from the sites such as The Havard Business Review and Forbes.  With the help of these key publications, along with assistance from University staff, we determined that we should spearhead one of the hardest questions to answer.  What makes an effective leader?  Our goal with this info – graphic was to provide a resource that compiles this question into one place, so that current and future leaders will find it, both, interesting and educational.  According to the definition of the white man.  A leader is a person who has a vision and a drive, and a commitment to achieve that vision, and to own or develop through experience the skills to make it happen.  A leader see a problem that needs to be fixed or goal to be achieved.   What makes leaders to be different from one another, are the traits and skills that the leader tackles with his obstacles.  That makes the difference.  There are no magic bullets.  Some people are born with these traits and skills.  Others develop them as they improve as leaders.   It is the strength that lets the leader move his vision forward despite all the obstacles that faces him.   It is his passion for the idea, an inner sense of a commitment.  While there are many forms of leadership that each come with a slew of personality traits.  We determined, through research and university feedback, a list of eleven consistent traits that great leaders leverage.  These include:

1-Honesty: your politics and as employees are a reflection of yourself, and if you make honest and ethical behaviour a key value, your team will follow suit.

2-Ability to delegate: Trusting your team with your idea is a sign of strength, not weakness.  Delegating tasks to the appropriate persons is one of the most important skills you can develop.

3-Communication: Being able to clarify and briefly express what you want to be done is extremely important.  If you can’t relate your vision to your team, you won’t all be working towards the same goal.

4-Sense Of Humour: It is amazing how a little humour can lighten a mood, or defuse a tense situation.  If you are constantly learning to find humour in the struggle, your work environment will become a happy and healthy space, where your employees look forward to working in.

5-Confidence: Assure everyone that setbacks are natural and the important thing is to focus on the longer goal.  But staying calm and confident, you will keep the team feeling the same.

6-Commitment: If you expect your team to work hard and produce quality content, you are going to need to lead by example.

  7-Positive Attitude: Keep your team motivated towards the continued success of the subject – matter in hand by keeping the energy level up.

8-Creativity: It is during the critical situations that your team will look to you for guidance and you may be forced to make a quick decision.  It is important to learn to think outside the box.

9-Ability To Inspire: Being able to inspire your team is great for focusing on the future goals.  It is your job to keep spirits up, and that begins with an appreciation for the hard work.

10-Intuition: When leading a team through uncharted waters, there is no roadmap on what to do.  Everything is uncertain, and the higher the risk, the higher the pressure.

11-Iron – Guts: You must be courageous and daring during the challenges.  Risk taking attitude.

Dear reader, let us do our homework in the Oval – Offices of the Spider – Webs in all what is named as Somali tiny Bee – Hives, claiming Governments.  Regardless to their color or creed.  It is all conquered by a barren poor Bee – Queen, ruling Wild – Bees that swallows more than they can chew of the dry and green leaves, and produces nothing mentionable. Except those Russian Dead – Projects.   With the exception of the president of the Somali – Ethiopian Regional Government, Mr.Abdi Mohamoud Omer.  The one Hero – man of a nation. That clairvoyant  nationalist with Iron – Guts who toppled all obstacles in person, regardless to all challenges of his blind – folded opponents that can see not more than their shadows.  President Abdi defeated the stress of pain and depression, caused by lack of trust among the varied Somali communities poverty, hunger; and finally overcome all unfriendly circumstances.  He is the most gutsiest person with ironsides in the Somali – Ethiopian Province.  Before his arrival to the office, the previous Administrative – Organs, before him were corrupted, parasite regimes that wasted billions of Ethiopian currency ( Bir )for their personal advantage, or spending the Budget assigned to the region in Dead – Projects that were in vain and never lasted long enough.  During his period in office, he accomplished huge and gigantic projects of Capacity – Building in Education, by building High Schools and Universities. 

Health- Care by erecting new hospitals and clinics , Roads and Communication, Water – Resources like Dams and water wells, and Agriculture.   Above all, establishing Safety and Security in the Region.   Building New Infrastructure that is essential to make the Somali Province more competitive among the other provinces in Ethiopia.  Protecting Somali communities from the destructions of the natural disasters like famine and drought.  Above that, the New Police Force with adequate training is establishing peace and stability of the Region. Treating, and  addressing all ethnic groups and tribes in the same friendly attitude, and introducing themselves to the masses as the arms of the law, not a bully invaders.  Maintaining peace, and tranquility among the public.   In return, all Somali tribes acting and behaving as a Law – Abiding Ethiopian citizens, following the rules and regulations of their Government and getting their share of the Pie. 

Dear reader, we could develop our leadership skills by sharing new mindsets of good characters like President Abdi Mohamoud Omer.  Let us spread this political message and deeds of his Honour, President Abdi Mohamoud Omer to all existing Somali leaders to make the Horn of Africa more living planet than a killing planet full of wars.  Let us spread Tolerance, Love, and Care for our sake and our generation to come.

Mr.Abdi, your honor, you are the man of the year and an Icon of a good leadership. congratulations and continue the good work.  Nation First and Ethiopia Tiki Dham.
