"Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers," says Robin S. Sharma.


The amiable and intuitive President of our beloved church, Pastor Samuel Olusegun Oladele is in the category of leaders who made positive and unquantifiable impacts in their generation, particularly in the lives of people. Majority of well known ministers of God in CAC this day passed through him when they were in Seminary. He thought most of them.


Good leaders are trailblazers, making a path for others to follow. Great leaders, however, inspire their people to reach higher, dream bigger, and achieve greater. Perhaps the most important leadership skill you can develop is the ability to provide inspiration to your team.


Pastor Oladele is well known for his teaching prowess and ability dish out the undiluted word of God in a unique way. You can easily identify him whenever he is teaching even if you're not watching him. This is due to his command of English language and fluent Yoruba intonation.
