OlaPurpose James Asu




I will be sharing 15 strategies right now and the remaining 15 on twitter Saturday 11th by 11am. To be part of these series, follow @PurposeIcon.
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:

11. To lead successfully you must first touch people’s hearts before asking for their hands.
12. To lead successfully you must be at peace with everyone and avoid engaging in physical war or battle with anyone at all cost.
13. To lead successfully you must persevere and possess attitude of longsuffering. Understand that things won’t be sweet at all times and vice versa.
14. To lead successfully you must possess that attitude of gentleness to everyone regardless of race, tribe or tongues.
15. To lead successfully you must see leadership position as a journey and not as a destination.
16. To lead successfully you must display that quality of kindness and goodness to those you are leading.
17. To lead successfully you must brainstorm and rub minds with those you are leading. Don’t try to impose or force policies or ideas on them. Reason together. Discuss together. Grow together.
19.  To lead successfully you must be charismatic and energetic. Have the ability and energy to carry people along as long as you can and as long as you want to keep leading them. Don’t just delegate but get engage.
20. To lead successfully you must build your competency and capacity to solve problems as they arise.
21. To lead successfully you must first allow God to lead you and to keep leading you for as long as you want to keep leading other people.
22. To lead successfully you must always think creatively.
23. To lead successfully you must be purpose-driven. Nobody want to follow a leader who is purposeless, such is like a ship without a rudder.
24. To lead successfully you must be proactive and pursue productive living and ensure you make it a habit or lifestyle.
25. To lead successfully you must be selfless and not selfish.

To be Continue.....

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 ...

FREE MEAL, THE KILLER OF PERSONAL GREATNESS! “As mosquitoes cause malaria so free food leads to walking pneumonia in the operating system of our inner confidence. To get the lift, pay the bill. No free meal.” -Iziaq Olawale- As a bachelor who speaks across the country and beyond in his verge to add value through his business of MINDgineering and encouragement, my experience in some restaurants from highly rated ones in Victoria island to the so – called mama put on the mainland even in some bukas/local restaurants at Shibiri, Ojo Lagos has taught me some indispensable lessons which I’ll like to share with you today. As I visit some local restaurants in the city, I observed that some of them usually ask for money before service while others do allow you to pay your bill after service. The yorubas would say; ejo, esan owo yin o boda/uncle/aunty/daddy or mummy. Depends on your age and appearance while the non – Yorubas would say; oga, abeg, your money. As I g...
