4O STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL LEADING
(Series One)
By OlaPurpose James Asu

 I will briefly share on things you need to know in order to succeed as a leader. I shared ten of them yesterday on twitter @PurposeIcon. Today evening by 7pm I will be sharing 15 strategies and the remaining 15 on Saturday morning by 11am. I caught the inspiration of this piece when I was on my way to the office, it came to me when I got to Adeniran Ogunsanya in Surulere:
 
1. To lead others successfully, you must first lead yourself successfully.

2. To lead a corporation, organization or nation successfully, you must first lead yourself successfully.

3. To lead successfully you must be a man of your word. Your word must be your bond. Fidelity and integrity must be given top priority.

4. To lead successfully, you must love everyone you’re leading and avoid hating anyone.

5. To lead successfully you must be joyful and hopeful at all times regardless of any storms or crises.

6. To lead successfully you must be visionary. Have vision for yourself and those you are leading. 

7. To lead successfully you must have that quality of temperance, always control your temper. Don’t allow anger to rule over you or ruin your life. Don’t let it tarnish your image and reputation. It’s very key.

8. To lead successfully you must have a heart of meekness which is synonymous to humility. Humility is not stupidity but strength under control. Don’t be too full of yourself.

9. To lead successfully you must understand that being a leader is a privilege to serve and not a right to rule over other people.

10. To lead successfully you must understand that, Leadership is about mantle not title. Having title without mantle will kill your leadership capacity.

BE PURPOSE-DRIVEN!

ONE MAJOR WAY OF BEING RESPONSIVE TO YOUR ABILITY

By PRAISE AKOBO It's possible you may or may not have thought of 'responsibility' as a 'response to ability'. So, let's roll. .. .. .. Have you checked, how that, when you were given a task, be it in school, church, office, firm or even that which you gave yourself? Did you see that, somehow, you felt lackadaisical at first but decided to take the bull by its horn? Now, the ability to do that was resident within, but came alive when you chose to act, this is why you hear words like UNTIL YOU GET STARTED, YOU CAN NOT START. .. .. .. I discovered that I understood something's about myself when I was given a responsibility in an N.G.O and accepted it. Just like you, I hesitated but until today, that has been a major factor in my growth. My NETWORK grew as well my NET WORTH. Lets say for instance, you are asked to be part of an Editorial Committee, you finally accepted, then along the line, you discovered ...

I FEEL FLY WHENEVER I SEE MY DESIGN OUTSIDE THE REACH OF AFRICA. “When he left ehnnn, my people, I cried, cried, cried and cried. And to make it worst, am to resume everyday in my school uniform as the uniform for the fashion designing......that Man ehnnn!” Really I do not know where to start from but let me start with a story I will always tell my kids and grandchildren. Growing up was not too easy for me because I was stubborn and I had a disciplinarian and a strict man as a father. He will always force me to study at night before sleeping and in the morning before going to school, but me, ehnnn, I don't like this thing they call book. NAH! NAH! But one thing I can do WELL is SKETCHING, sewing dresses for dolls and anything handy and outside reading but not reading even story books makes me sleep. So it happen that one day after end of second term in JSS 3, I was given my report card and it was written 'advice to go to commercial class' instead of S...
