LEADERSHIP REFLECTIONS 87

Never make the mistake of thinking that because you have a great vision and good intentions that the people you are leading will just follow you. Having great vision is one thing and having people to follow you is another things altogether.

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.

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 64

As leadership continues to evolve, Pioneer Leaders must recognize that things ought to be done differently in order for him to leverage on the abilities of the people he is leading, such that problem solving requires his ingenuity and those of the people put together. Although, modern leadership mainly focuses of the ingenuity of the leader, postmodern leadership focuses on the Collective Ingenuity of the players of the cycle of leadership. For effective leadership, the pioneer leader must not be the only cock crowing. Elvis C. Umez Leadership Consultant School of Leadership Development (SOLD) IDB Consult
