Leadership Not Measured By Titles – Enenche

The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, has urged African leaders to embrace responsibility and prioritise people-centred governance.

Enenche made the call on Wednesday while delivering a keynote address at the Uganda Leadership and Economic Summit in Kampala.

His message, contained in a statement he signed on Thursday and made available to journalists, stressed that true leadership goes beyond titles and positions.

The Uganda Leadership and Economic Summit is an annual platform for leaders across sectors to exchange ideas on governance, social development and economic transformation.

The event, which coincided with his ongoing Healing and Deliverance Crusade in the country, brought together top political, diplomatic and religious figures, including the Minister of Kampala, Hon. Minsa Kabanda.

Others include Pastor Kayanja and his wife, Pastor Jessica Kayanja; the Ambassador of Ethiopia to Uganda, Etsegenet Yimenu; and Hon. Esther Davinia Anyaku, Minister of State for Gender, Labour and Social Development (Labour, Employment and Industrial Relations).

The gathering focused on leadership principles that drive societal transformation.

The cleric who spoke on the theme, “The Act of Leadership”, said leadership should be measured by the quality of lives leaders impact and not by the offices they occupy.

“True leadership is measured not only by titles held but by exemplary lives lived, lives that inspire, influence, and drive change across generations,” he said.

Enenche further highlighted the attributes of responsible leadership to include identifying with the people, accepting responsibility for their challenges, mobilising resources for their welfare, building systems and structures, and fostering human development.

According to him, a leader is a generational asset. When someone is a leader, his presence is felt, his absence is noticed, and people experience the positivity of his impact.

In her remarks, the Kampala Minister thanked Enenche for his message, noting its relevance to Uganda’s leadership context.

“I have enjoyed the teaching from Pastor Paul. It was part of us. The summary was about the acceptance of responsibility. Being a minister is not a simple issue; you meet different people of faith and tribe. We need your prayers,” Kabanda said.
