1. Experience

2. He is Not Extravagant
Someone who is extravagant spends more money than they can afford or uses more than expected. Hon Emma is not one who fancy material things, or a luxury lifestyle. Emma is not driven by a desire for opulence. He believes in using resources judiciously and avoiding unnecessary waste. With his sensible approach, Hon Emma is dedicated to creating a more sustainable, affordable, and comfortable Obudu for everyone.
3. He Never Plays a Fake Lifestyle
As a leader, living an inauthentic life means forsaking your true self, betraying your core beliefs, and settling for a mere imitation of your potential. When you lead a fake life, you may appease others, but ultimately, you’ll feel unfulfilled, discouraged, and unhappy. Authentic leadership demands embracing your genuine self, staying true to your values, and living a life that reflects your unique purpose and vision. Hon Emma is one man who always wants people to be pleased and satisfied at any point in time. Hon Emma always advises and indicates that your self-awareness and self esteem are determined by hard work.
4. Always Result-oriented in All his Engagements.
Honourable Emma is a goal-oriented person with a clear sense of direction. His approach to achieving success is methodical and strategic. For him, Plan A represents the foundation, where he lays the groundwork and puts in the effort. However, his ultimate focus is always on Plan B, which serves as his guiding principle or the ‘North Star’ directing his actions and decisions towards a higher purpose.
The risk of collaborating with someone who isn’t result-oriented is that they may prioritize everything else over achieving the goal. When you tie your emotional well-being to reaching a specific objective, you become vulnerable to an emotional rollercoaster. Your mental state becomes inextricably linked to the outcome, leading to a tumultuous journey until you attain the goal – if you ever do.
If he becomes the Council Chairman, we will set ourselves another goal and the process starts all over again. Most of us simply can’t stand the weight of the feeling of being a failure for very long, leading in stress, burnouts and giving up. But right from his time as CRO Obudu, Hon Emma had led Obudu in hard times and stress. He will do more when he becomes the Council Chairman.
He often pays a hefty price, he begins to see the present as simply a means to get to some future goal and thus end up making choices that sacrifice the life and love that is before people and missing out on what life is largely about.
