this is what members in bantaba are saying concerning their role model.
  
http://www.gambia.dk/forums/topic.asp?whichpage=0.6&TOPIC_ID=5539&#38303
   
  i did hope that those here in  leadership position or are aspiring to be leaders would have told us their person of choice. from uncle baba,jusuhpa,lj ,dave ,haruna,yero etc. .
   
  here is my last say on the topic.
   
  this question i asked was culled from an edition of the times magazine july 1974 . the paper questined different profesional people, from historians to military leaders,scientist to other scholars. the question was, what makes a great leader? throughout history who qualifies?

this are some of the answers paticipants sent to the Times magazine; a man named Willaim Mcneill have this to say ''if you measure leadership by impact,then you would have to name Jesus,buhda,Mohammad,Confucius,and other great prophets of God''.

Another contributor by the name James Gavin a military officer have this to say ''among leaders who have made the greatest impact through ages,i would consider Mohammad,Jesus christ, maybe Lenin,Possibly Mao. As for a leader whose qualities we could most use now, i would choose john f Kennedy''.

another contributor by the name Jules Masserman ,an american phycoanalyst and professor at chicago university have this to say ''leaders must fulfil three functions''. No 1. '' the leader must provide for the well-being of the lead''.

No 2.''the leader or would be leader must provide a socail organisation in which people feel relatively secure''

N0 3.That this leader must provide his people with one set of beliefs''. ''the influencial leaders in history are Louis Pasteur,Salk,Ghandi,Conficius,Alexander the great,Caeser,Hitler,Buhda,Jesus,Moses and some others''. '' Perhaps the greatest leader of all times was Muhammad,who combined all three functions. and to a lesser degree,moses did the same''.

that questionaire by times magazine was based on influencial leaders. i expanded the topic to include any influencial person so as to see who we will more less try to emulate ,who inspired us more. a lot of people choose mother teresa for her sacrifice and dedication to the poor and mandela,ghandi,martin lurther ,malcom for there selflessness.
it is quiet interesting how people are choosing their parents as an influencial personality for them.

a book dealing with influencial leaders are many but micheal h harts book on top one hundred greatest in history and thomas carlyle's book hero and hero wordhip are good reference for would be leaders.

  throughout history , human beings have influential personalities they listen to and obey.this personalities vary in qualities to a different degree. some of them are artist, some are politicians and others are religious spiritual leaders. what criteria should we look for in choosing the most influential person in history? this task in difficult and we may never agree on one person but it will reveal the characters behind our individual choices.
please tell us who you choose. if say ,some one mention obama ,please indicate why him or if haruna indicate likewise. if Hitler or Lenin ,give brief reasons.

thank you. i hope some elders take part ,it will tell us who they will must likely emulate.
