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.....

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 ...

BE FRIENDLY BUT CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS

In life, we will always need people. God did not create us to be in isolation. I guess that explains why Eve came into existence after the creation of Adam. . . . . As social being, we have an innate desire to connect with people, to experience dynamic relationship with one another. This need is as fundamental as our need for food and water. . . . . . So, my friend, drop that claim that you don't need anybody in life because you do. There is a symbiotic relationship between you and the society in which you live. . . . . . You know what? Solitary can be a terrible thing for human. Hence, everybody needs someone. Truth is, friendship adds to the fullness of life. . . . . . Hence, if you desire to become successful in life you will need people. No greater achievement was ever done by a single individual. You need people to be able to fulfill your vision. . . . . . However... . . . . . You need to be careful of the kind of people you associate w...
