Authenticity: the Aura of Dr. CEDO leadership
Authenticity defined as the capacity to be perceived to understand the concerns of citizens and share an understanding of their everyday lives.
More specifically, we might think of authentic politicians/leaders as those who act genuinely like their true selves and like normal people, rather than in accordance with what is convenient and expected of them by the political context and by external pressures such as the media, campaign experts and political strategy.
The personality and qualities of political leaders has long been acknowledged as an important element of politics and influence on political attitudes and behaviour.
This is where many have seen beyound Political scheming and mimicking, the true nature of Humanity, authenticity and Charisma in Dr Edward Onoja.
Beyound his display of competency and Integrity as a leader, Dr CEDO has shown the true nature of authenticity in way and manners he has been in touch with the lives and outlooks of ordinary people. This can vividly be seen in his relationship with the ordinary people where he mingled with them unabated, speaking more fluently in the ordinary man language and slangs, having the vibes of the street imbedded in him as one who has gone through length and breadth of the street and understand beyound measure how it is done over there. He uses this his indebt knowledge of the street not only to relate with them but also to empathize with the people whenever he is out to provide solutions to his people. He appear more human to the people than acclaimed saviour, he is genial, warm in disposition, empathetic to a relatively Major and more demanding expectations.
On most issues, his response rather than theoretical, is perceived by the people to be likeable and shows similarities to real life perception on thesame level with ordinary citizens rather than someone attending from a high position above the normal.
Dr CEDO act genuinely as his true self every day and in all occasions, he understands everyday lives, engage in everyday culture of ordinary people, react with shared humour to situations that warrant it, comment on social events that binds ordinary people like football, music, and other games. Before his Political office, he was there with the street in his Barbing Saloon, there in the viewing centre as Chelsea fan, and now even the office has not restrain him from the people no matter their perceived level.
The people see him as a leader capable to understand the concerns of citizens and share an understanding of their everyday lives.
In what is seen an “encapsulated interest personality” he is viewed by all as one who has the interest of everyone at heart and will take them to account while Making decisions, and outright benevolence that care about the welfare of the general public and motivated to act in the public interest.
His Charismatic nature has also added to his Aura of authenticity, as Dr CEDO shows exceptional qualities of vision, veracity and trustworthiness by his followers.
Dr CEDO shows a sense of good leadership not in giving orders but creating shared vision for the future and viable strategic plans for the present, he negotiate ways to achieving what is needed while also listening to what is wanted. He incoperate individuals and groups into processes of making decisions and enacting strategies that can bring the overall good of the society.
