LEADITUDE.

When it comes to having an effective relationship skill between you and other people (be it your spouse, your co-worker, friends and colleagues), a lot has to do with your attitude and disposition. I dare to say that it is impossible for you to get the best out of any relationship if the people involved aren’t keeping a very good attitude and displaying a teachable spirit, because the truth is your perceptions about life will always clash at one point or another. What then acts as a lubricant to the friction is the right attitude.
I love to describe Attitude as a person’s disposition, action and reaction to life, and without the right qualities a leader cannot function perfectly in a relationship. If he is not careful, he’ll discover that people usually leave him (or desert him) and he’ll just be taking a stroll – like John Maxwell called it.
Some of the attitudes a leader needs to develop are:
• The delete-it attitude – this simply means not holding people’s offences in your heart. You need to realize that once you get offended by someone, you begin to exude negativity towards that person, which could cost the relationship so much.
• The caring arms – when you show that you can go the extra mile for people, they will always be willing to follow and respect you.
• Advance forgiveness – try forgiving people before they offend you [and make sure you really do]. These attitudes marvels people and will always bring them back to you refined specie.
• The giving attitude – a leader must always be ready to give himself to people. It’s a medium by which you show how much you care.
Finally, you need to understand that LEADERSHIP is all about making your problems other people’s by making other people’s problems yours. (note that a hundred people can solve a leader’s problem, but you are to provide solutions to the hundred… and more people)
This is what I call LEADITTUDE

leadership redefined

It’ll be foolish to underestimate the power and potency of a single act of love and commitment to other people. This is because when you show commitment to another man’s cause, you are indirectly creating a place for yourself in the person’s heart, especially when your actions met a great need at that moment; you’ll be furnishing a palace.
The truth about where evolution is taking us to is that very soon, people will start responding positively to the leadership of those who show them commitment to their cause (yet give no material things) whilst they react negatively to a leader who pays much more but has no interest in them.
Slowly, yet amazingly, people are beginning to place the order of their life such that they price respect and fulfillment more than materiality, and as a good leader, one must be ready to embrace this redefinition and flow more with the people around them. It is interesting to note that once we embrace this new definition of leadership – one that denies self and places others first, men will begin to succumb to your leadership and tutelage [and nothing is better than leading a group that willingly submit themselves to your authority].
Leadership has taken a redefinition of its purpose, and only those who are compliant with the flow will become great leaders the world will remember for long.

standing out

In a world where we are constantly faced with people confining to a norm – to a particular style of doing things, it’s becoming harder by the day to challenge the norms and break into innovations. As a real leader who wants to do more than surviving the times, one must be ready to question prevailing standards just so new pictures can be seen, and a hope for a better picture be created and spurred up.
I have often wondered why people choose to be stereotyped inn their thought pattern and I find out it’s because no one wants to take the risk of failing. I also discovered that a large percentage of people love to pattern their lives with the norm and will stop at nothing to avoid heavy criticism and mockery, but a leader who wishes to function in a higher plane need to have the guts to redefine the moments and circumstances of negativity the norm brings.
The truth about life is that people are always waiting for the first man to break the edge, and when that happens, they follow suit. But a redefined leader cannot afford that. He understands the fact that doing the same things over again will cause deterioration in results, so he constantly seeks to find new ways of doing things once he sees the old is fading out.
By doing this, the redefined leader gains a huge experience and accolades for pioneering a solution... this should be the goal of every man
