LEADERSHIP REFLECTIONS 12

Getting good leaders through an election selection protocol is almost not possible for establishing good leadeeship unless the system is designed in such a way that makes it impossible for its proponents to cheat and win the votes. The truth is: good leaders rarely win through the election selection protocol because real leaders are always and almost never liked by the masses, except in few cases.

This explains why it looks as if good leaders have to persevere, play to the gallery or make alignments with others for their antecedents to be known. Popularity wins election. The more popular you are, the more likely that the selection process will choose you whether you are the leader or not. Nations and organisations who desire to be powerful must never use the election selection protocol for choosing their leaders, unless there is a preselection protocol that allows only leaders into the game.

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
