It is said that good leaders deliver results whereas great leaders develop people; good leaders have vision whereas great leaders have values; good leaders are role models at work whereas great leaders are role models in life. Again, it is said that effective leadership is defined not by attributes or flowcharts but by results and accomplishments. An examination of the life of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia confirms clearly that it is possible for one to be a good leader, a great leader, and an effective leader at the same time.
