Built in Secret: The Engineering of Spiritual Authority
Built in Secret: The Engineering of Spiritual Authority By Ogbole Daniel Edwin 1. Real Experience Years ago, while working on an electrical installation in Lagos, I noticed something powerful. The client admired the visible fittings — the neat trunking, the aligned sockets, the shining distribution board. But what really determined whether that building would survive load was not what people saw. It was the hidden wiring. The cable sizing. The earthing. The load calculation. If those unseen systems were poorly done, no amount of fine finishing could prevent failure. And that day, it struck me: Authority works the same way. 2. System Behavior In engineering, systems fail from internal weakness long before external collapse becomes visible. Overheating begins inside the conductor. Short circuits start in hidden connections. Structural failure begins with microscopic stress. The public only sees the explosion. The engineer knows the failure began in secret. Leadership is no different...
