ADD AN ADJECTIVE TO YOUR LEADERSHIP

The difference between two people rendering the same service in any form of leadership is just an added value that is being neglected, but recognized by one.

When everybody is doing the same thing, there is need to just make it a little bit difference from what used to be.

Your relevance as a leader is to the degree that you are able to add value to your leadership in order to make it uniquely different from what is obtainable anywhere else.

There is a great difference between a Medical Scientist and a diligent Medical Scientist because diligence alone makes the difference. Also, there is a great difference between a doctor and a compassionate doctor. Being a doctor or a Medical Scientist is not just enough, but being a compassionate doctor and diligent Scientist will just do the magic to the patient.

Furthermore, there is a great difference between a speaker and an inspiring speaker. Dishing out inspiration works the magic in the art of speaking. It is not just enough to be a leader, but it could be enough to just be the caring leader.

It is not enough to be a husband to a wife, but being a faithful husband makes the difference.

When you add the adjective to what we do and who we are, you will succeed at changing the world for good.

You are in leadership not to occupy positions but to make progress in moving yourself as well as the people from point A to B within a record time.

Here is the question you need to answer:
In your leadership at the moment, what adjective do you need to add in order to make the difference?

Adjectives are modifiers and/or qualifiers.

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
