Douglas Angogo

We are happy to announce that Douglas Angogo is our Student of the Week for 26-31 January. Douglas has had, so far, a perfect score on every assignment this term. Not only that, he has taken a lead role in some of the online discussions in the past few weeks. He is always good to share his own learning as well as encouraging other students. Here's what Douglas shared this week in the Lead Like Jesus discussion board:

I have always read Romans 12: 2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." But it did not hit me that that verse has a leadership insight to me/us. Transformation of the MIND to me is equivalent to the HEAD. Whaat!!! And I related it to what we read that "Effective leadership starts from INSIDE. So to me every leaders MIND / HEAD must be transformed to think/act like Jesus.


At times we take leadership roles and think that our abilities, experience and education background can make us succeed in whatever areas we are leading!!! But the experience of Peter in the boat with Jesus sparked my life. As much as peter had an experience of fishing, he also knew which areas in the sea had fish etc etc, that day he caught nothing. But when he obeyed and acted on the instructions of Jesus, he caught more fish....Oh biblically he caught abundantly above what he used to. 

This has sparked my life "Most leadership books and seminars focuses on the leader's behavior and tends to improve on leadership style and methods, they concentrate more on the hands, changing the leader from OUTSIDE". Yet Lead like Jesus focuses on effective leadership starting from the INSIDE. Its a heart issue.

LESSON: When we turn to God and obey His instructions, our leadership becomes Effective.

We want to recognize Douglas's dedication and contributions. For being recognized as Student of the Week, Douglas will receive a Safaricom data/voice bundle worth 1500KES. Our best weekend wishes to Douglas and all of our HOPE School friends. Have a blessed weekend!
