In a world where leadership is often mistaken for power and privilege, the Chief Executive Officer of the Samchi Group of Companies Esther Muchemi, popularly known as Madam CEO, delivers a thought-provoking message on what true leadership entails.
"Honestly, if you can't lead by example and for results, take a rear seat and become a follower," she asserts, challenging leaders to reflect on their roles. In her characteristic bold and unapologetic style, Madam CEO emphasizes that leadership is not about titles, wealth, or influence—it is about servanthood.
She reminds us that true leadership demands humility, selflessness, and the willingness to serve even the least among us. A leader who does not embody these values is not only ineffective but risks losing credibility.
Her warning is clear: "Arrogance births downfall. It has no place in leadership." Many have fallen from positions of power due to pride, detachment, and failure to connect with those they serve. Leaders who prioritize personal gain over service are on a fast track to failure.
In her closing statement, Madam CEO makes a universal call: "Today we call out all leaders, and I mean all, ok?" It is a reminder that leadership comes with responsibility, and those at the helm—whether in business, politics, or community service—must rise to the occasion or step aside for those willing to lead with purpose and integrity.
Madam CEO’s message is not just a call to action but a challenge to rethink leadership. Are you leading from the front, or is it time to take a back seat?
