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!

DO YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE ENDLESS BLISS AND FIND LASTING FULFILMENT?  Every individual born into this world is endowed with at least a gift, with which to achieve greatness in life. It is a great pity that so many people have not yet discovered or maximised their gifts- their source of wealth, impact and influence. And unless they discover their gifts, they can't rule their world. Discover your gift(s) and rule your world. Your gift is your source of wealth. Unravel it early while you still have breath because it is your primary source of influence and affluence in life. Creativity is an asset entrusted to you as a special gift to benefit humanity with. If truly you are genuinely created in the image and likeness of God that automatically gives you the assurance of possessing creative and innovative power both to invent and to discover new and profound ways of doing things.  On this note we all @ SCHOOL OF PURPOSE DISCOVERY INTERNATIONAL have brought the FABULOUS ...
FILL YOUR OWN MOULD By Emeka Nobis I had boasted to Ikenna and my classmates that I could play the number five position in football. That was borne out of envy because Ikenna's football skills were hailed. I decided to tame his mouth. That was in 1992, my second year of secondary school at Marist Comprehensive Academy, Okigwe. I became the last substitution in the fifth minute of the second half of a match our school played with a neighbouring school. That meant I couldn't be replaced anymore. It was absolute tomfoolery.
