    "content": "I want to serenade and celebrate Eliud Kipchoge as an individual, but also as a team because we saw from his strategy of winning that he had pacesetters. These are 41 seasoned marathoners both men and women who formed a V-shape, so that he would not be affected and slowed down by the winds. They became very selfless about this win and made sure that it was Kipchoge’s moment. That gives us a very good lesson about leadership. There is a science around it; it is not just as Sen. Wetangula was saying “somebody just rushing and ending up at the finish line, not knowing how they found themselves there, but that they ran very fast.” It is about the act. There was a target, it was very well-conceptualised. They had their strategy and they executed it very well. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it tells us that even we, as leaders, even if we are the vision bearers, the ones carrying the mantle or the titular heads, we must have a team behind us. It should not just be a team; it should be a team of seasoned individuals if we are to deliver the vision that we carry. That is extremely important even applying it as leaders in any other field. That is a lesson that I learned. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
