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 ...

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 ran around the pitch in a pattern similar to pollen grains in water. I couldn't even trap the ball, mostly letting it pass through the hollow of my legs to the opponents. I was playing what was called "Shorting one" in our local parlance. Football wasn't just my forte. For me, it was eating the desert before the entrée in a four-course meal.  But it was different when I handled a pen and a sheet of paper. I could write e...
