General Superintendent of Assemblies Of God Nigeria Rev Dr Chidi Okoroafor has challenged African leaders to adopt the principles of team play if they want to experience real personal and corporate success.
Speaking at the consecration service of the newly appointed continental leaders of the six departments of the African Assemblies of God Alliance (AAGA) held at KAG East University, Kitengela, Kenya. He prescribed the co-pilot approach against the spare tyre approach. According to him, no plane is flown by a single pilot.
There is always the captain and the first flight officer and both usually work together to ensure success. It makes room for mutual responsibility. The captain is in charge. He takes the lead and initiative while the co-pilot provides the support and functions as required.
Most interestingly he noted that the opportunity a leader gives to his deputy may be his tomorrow’s investment. He also emphasized that there no end to what a leader can accomplish if he does not care who takes the credit.
He dedicated the sermon to Rev Dr Barnabas Mtokambali, the President of the Africa Assemblies of God Alliance (AAGA) whom he described as a model team leader.
