INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS

INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS

In the just previous essay I discussed about the collaborators with respect to leadership and influence as the leader is required to understand why they often act the way they do. Also, I explained that a collaborator is the young in the leadership cycle by virtue of exposure and experience with relatively good information about dynamics of how principles work in real time almost seems to operate from the same level of information with the leaders but lacks experiential knowledge. This definition is basic for the leader whose goal is to succeed in leadership.

Today, I shall be endeavoring to look at the right attitude the lead should have towards these collaborators, which I will discuss in three headings. However, before I do that, there is need to point out that many of the difficulties leaders face with collaborators is predicated upon poor discipleship work, which will be the thrust of the next essay.

Superior Arguments
Based on experiential knowledge the leader has an edge over the collaborator, which affords him or her an advantage when confronted with an argument. Collaborators respect the leader the more when he or she makes superior arguments.

Grounded in Wisdom and Knowledge
The leader must know everything needed to be known within the sphere of his or her abilities with endless growth and development. Wisdom and knowledge give the leader’s stability.

Proactive in Proffering Solutions
Proactivity entails that problems are rightly predicted and the correction solution proffered to make the problems go away by the leader, which makes the leader indispensable.

In the next essay, I shall explain the points of influence of collaborators that leaders must focus their attention on in order to achieve the intended results.

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS In the just previous essay I pointed out the three major right attitudes the leader must have in his or her bid to influence the collaborators, which are: he or she must always come up with superior argument, be grounded in wisdom and knowledge, and be proactive in proffering solutions that make problems go away. However, today, I am going to be discussing the dynamics of influencing the collaborators and the point of influence associated with them in the progressive transformation of the cycle of leadership. In the cycle of leadership, the leader is given a goal to transform followers who got attracted to them by the leadership vision into becoming disciples who by a series of teaching learning of the principles that make for good leadership are transformed into collaborators who have eventually discovered their leadership purpose and are willing to either sustain the work being done by the leader or are launched out as leaders in order to ...

The Power of Focus

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. - Tony Robbins Concentration is the magic key that opens the door to accomplishment. By concentrating your efforts upon a few major goals, your efficiency soars, your projects are completed - you are going somewhere. By focusing your efforts to a single point, you achieve the greatest results. ....the power of focus The first rule of success, and the one that supersedes all others, is to have energy. It is important to know how to concentrate it, how to husband it, how to focus it on important things instead of frittering it away on trivia.  Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one's aim.  The giants of the race have been men of concentration, who have struck sledge-hammer blows in one place until...

LEADERSHIP REFLECTIONS 8

The essence of leadership is continuity such that the poineer leader endeavours to raise people to continue from where he or she stops thereby forming an endless ripple effect from one generation to another. Hence, the relevance of any leadership is to the degree that it is able to outlive itself after having transformed the players into their ideal selves. After the leadership success is achieved, it automatically becomes a template for the followers to build upon. What this means is that when success is attained, it almost becomes obsolete for the next generation, which will require innovation and tweaking if contuinity is intended within their spheres of abilities. Are your intentions in leadership geared towards continuity? Elvis C. Umez Leadership Consultant School of Leadership Development (SOLD) IDB Consult
