THE FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP…
THE FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP…
It has been my greatest honour and priviledge over the past decade as an ambitious growing young man to mix, mingle and at the same time to be mentored and tutored by many men and women in different field of leadership within and outside the country. It has always been a fascination as I personally come to discover that, people naturally and without stress follow these leaders base on their leadership styles and qualities.
If there should ever be anytime in the history of our generation where we should be studying leadership principles is now. This was in marriage with the fact that, the greatest and daunting challenge of this present world is tied to leadership. I mean leadership on every field of our daily live. That is, the greatest need of the hour is a clarion call for constructive, creative, effective, positive and productive leadership. The church, industry, education, labour and government are all starving and at the same time yearning for positive and qualitative leadership. It is indisputable that, we have a large number of people filling leadership position but the confronting question is; how many of this leaders are fulfilling the core and essence of their leadership? The above question now brings me to share with you the definitions of leadership in this context.
The concept of leadership over the years has been defined by many authors and leaders from different field and background.
Ø “Leadership is the discipline of deliberately exerting special influence within a group to move it towards goals of beneficial performance that fulfill the group’s real needs” – John Haggai
Ø “Leadership is:
· Knowing what to do next;
· Knowing while that is important; and
· Knowing how to bring appropriate resources to bear on the need at hand” – Bobb Bichl
Ø “Also, leadership is an awesome responsibility, the process of encouraging and helping others to work enthusiastically towards achieving a set objectives” – Bob Baes.
Having known what leadership is, the next thing that comes to mind is; who is a leader? This question is a captivating one that requires an open answer in as much as true leadership is concerned.
Ø “A leader is someone who cause people to take effective action” – Howard Hendricks
Ø “A leader is one who guides and develops the activities of others and seeks to provide continual training and direction” – Ted Engstrom
Ø Succinctly, a leader is one:
· Who knows the way,
· Goes the way and;
· Shows the way.
My beloved friends, you too can know the way, go the way and lead or show the way. But, all you need to do is for you to become ‘UNLEARN’ so as to, ‘LEARN’.

PERSISTENCE: THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
PERSISTENCE: THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Success is not a citizen of any nation or tribe. The above phrase is in agreement with the scripture in the book of Ruth 1:16, the account of Ruth and her mother in-law (Naomi).
The above biblical story has really repelled and propelled me as a young man to cultivate the habit of persistence. In the early 2000, when I gained an understanding of the concept, I begin to develop a routine for persistency by maintaining the culture of not taking ‘NO’ for an answer. And this has really helped me to develop principle that has really contributed to my personal development in Leadership and field of endeavours.
What is persistence if someone may ask? Persistence is one refusing to say or take no for an answer when faced with daunting challenges or crisis.
It could be in Leadership, Management, Academics, Career, and Business and so on. With persistency in place, you can develop the ability and momentum to convince your Clients/Customers or even Business partners in the business world and vice versa.
Persistence is an essential factor in transmitting desire and passion into its monetary equivalent. And fully a product of desire, plan and action, which is also called the 3P’s according to Calvin Collidge;
*Passion - Desire
*Purpose- Specific plan
*Pursuit- Action
The above 3P’s puts together guarantees prosperity (success) in any field of endeavours.
I.e. Passion + Purpose + Pursuit = Prosperity.
And these 3P’s when paired together, always end up producing wealth and real success.
It was believed that, 90% of people quit at 90% of accomplishing their goals/objectives according to Thomas Edison a renowned scientist, but reverse is the case in this present time, where it is believed that, 99% of people quit a mere 20% of the way/journey to success.
The reality of life is that, those who persist win, while those who do not loose.
You must take note; passion and faith are the fuel that produces persistence. Which in turn guarantee one’s success in life? And the gospel truth is, success is not negotiable and winning is not everything but the only thing in life, business and all other field of endeavours.
Persistence; the only force that turns stumbling block into stepping stones on one’s pathway to achieving success and wealth.
Succinctly, persistence and determination are the omnipotent. This is because, if you fail to persist, you will persist in failing. Persistence produce success, while every man’s success in life is a combination of idea’s fully backed up by energy and persistence
I.e. Success = Ideas + Energy+ Persistence.
Beloved, Success is yours in as much as you can display persistence at its peak.

THE POWER WITHIN
THE POWER WITHIN
The only way to take responsibility for your life is to be in charge of your thoughts and emotions. This is because; your mind can create anything, only if you can first imagine it. This is in view of the biblical passage that states; as a man think in his heart, so is he. The confronting question is; what are you thinking in your heart or what is your thought system like? You have to think success to become successful, and at the same time, you have to think productiveness to become productive and so on. This is because success is not a citizen of any nation or tribe, and at the same time, we are all product and slave of our thoughts. The real nature and source of success is within the mind of human being rather than in the external world- I mean the world of realism. Most people have poor working knowledge of their conscious mind and even less understanding about the workings of their subconscious mind. For any man to become ‘successful conscious creator’ and at the same time a success in any field of endeavours, there is the need for such person to have a proper understanding of “The Power Within”.
The heart of man is the “Power House” for creativity, innovation and all kinds of positive change and transformation in the technology world of today. It is our direct link to universal consciousness, which is the source of all power and creativity. And when two minds works together, it produces a synergistic energy that weaves a concrete reality out of purpose, vision and determination. That is why; the people you hang around with are a part of your master-mind team.
In Africa and Nigeria in particular it is little percentage of the people that could really look within to discover their innate ability. For whatever your mind can conceive, you can as well achieve. The Power Within- which is your inner energy and drive (success engine), that tells you that you can do this or that; you can achieve all of that. The only thing that guarantees one’s success in life, business, academic and career is for him/her to be able to look within.
According to a leadership expert of international repute, BILL NEWMAN; ‘He states that every man that must acquire and accumulate success, fortune and wealth well beyond the million mark’ must first of all be able to look within so as to discover the power that lies within him or her. I mean such person should be able to see beyond the physical and taking to the biblical passage that states that, “I can do all things.”
This is because, whatever the heart of a man can think, such thing is achievable. For every man’s mountain is their ignorance of the power that lies within them. Your ability to look within is as precious as gift, as success itself.
A man subconscious mind is only accessible when he/she learns how to still the hyper activity of the conscious mind. The subconscious mind can however, be consciously programmed and controlled by the conscious mind. But all of these could be achieved and accomplished through commitment to work with the power that lies within you.
All because, you never can know how far/much you could achieve in life until you discover and recover your power within.
So, my beloved dare to look within, in order to have a good knowledge and proper understanding of the ‘REAL YOU’ for greater accomplishment and positive impact in your world.
