You can’t perform well in what you don’t love to do well. You can lead in what you can’t perform well. To lead well, be sure where you are, is where you supposed to be!

Leadership is about making and maintaining a positive change. True leaders do not conform to the limits of the environments they stay in, the transform it positively!
Environment provides us with many cultures. From each we identify our beliefs that give us our values. From our values we pick up our choices and our choices bring out our character. Our characters make us to lead!
As a leader, you have to disbelieve what you can’t do. It’s by so doing that you can believe in what you can do. It’s only by disbelieving that it can fly that the horse keeps galloping!
Leader discover themselves through a continuous fellowship and relationship with their sources of their life and wisdom. Self-discovery is the key to true leadership!
Your vehicle of leadership is fueled by your willingness to learn. You can't lead if you can't learn!
Dream big and dare to make it happen. You have a heavy power, don’t misuse it carrying a paperweight load. Make it big!
Before someone will get the guts to monitor your life, he must get the keyboard of humility. To be a humble person, is a priority in leadership!
The major factor that makes a great leader to fail emerge from the decision of people who surround him/her.
You can’t lead people to where you’ve not been yourself. When you all get stranded, you need the knowledge of someone who knows the way!
You don't lead people by what you say to them, you lead them by what they see you do. True leaders are self-leaders.
Leadership is an art expressed by the demonstration of characters worthy of immitation, emulation and inspiration. It is neither a title nor a postion.
Leadership potential is in everyone; we all have it, but we all don't know it until we have a direct individual encounter with the Holy Spirit of God. The principal source of leadership influence is the Holy Spirit.
A mere motivator sees potentials in people and tells them to take actions. A true leader sees the same potentials in the same people and influences them to optimize them under his God-lead inspirations.
It is not about whether you call yourself a leader or not. It is about what you have to show to people as a leader. Leadership is contagious, you carry it and share it.
Every true leader is in the business of God. The good news is that God’s business does not yield loses. Most leaders fail because they claim to be in a business whose owner they never know!
You remain a follower for life when you pay for what people do while nobody pays you for what you do. Do something impressive and become a leader!
If you haven’t found yourself yet, it’s difficult to help someone to discover himself. False leaders make more false leaders!
It’s unfair to see managers buying brand new cars for themselves when the salaries of their workers still remain unpaid! Good leaders are not selfish thinkers!
Leadership is about inspiration with character, not manipulation with position!
The reason why nothing happens is because nothing was done. Something will happen when something is done. Leaders take actions!
The worst ever offence you can commit against your time is to think that “time spent making plans is time being wasted!” Leaders don’t think that way!
To a leader, reputation is an option, but true character is a necessity!
Honour comes and goes, influence comes and stays, but none of them safeguards us against danger than the mentor of true leadership; Jesus Christ!
Never be anxious about maintaining the position you occupy. Be anxious about maintaining your good character and you will never lose your leadership influence!
Leaders don’t settle for less. When you do so, you rob humanity of what you are supposed to deliver!
You break the legs of your leadership chair when you chase after other people’s assignments instead of pursing yours!
You have many gifts, some will help you to connect the right people while others help you to get to the right places. But it takes your dominant gifts for you to be able to take the lead!
Service introduces you to the leadership throne. Service to mankind is the vision on which leadership is mounted. You serve and in your service, you train more leaders by becoming an example!
The bottom line is that you can’t lead the person you can’t serve!
You don’t need to be an executive owner of a multi-billion international company to show that you are a leader, you need “a discovered self” to optimize and become a leader.
There is greatness in everyone already. The job of the leader is not to put greatness in anyone. The job of the leader is to make people discover and exploit the greatness already existing in them!
Leaders fail when they begin to fall in love with negative mindsets of other people!
True leaders are ready to sweat when making rehearsal, than to cry tears when actually practicing. To save the tears, be ready to sweat!
Leadership is not a raw gift given to a group of people. It is the product of any type of gift everyone one has. It therefore means, any kind of gift is a leadership gift!
To know the purpose of a product, you must pay attention to what the manufacturer said about it. What God said about you is that you must have dominion over all other creation. Just pay attention and take the lead!
Sometimes it is difficult to different between leaders and misleaders. However, with the measurement of true service to mankind, the evidence is very clear!
The fact that a seed is viable is not a proof that it’s going to bear good fruits. Some good seeds are destroyed by bad soils. So is leadership; everyone was born to lead, but not all become leaders!
Everyone can be a leader irrespective of their age, race, creed, nationality or political affiliation. Once you can figure out your talents and optimize them very well, at the right place and at the right time, you are a leader.
Leadership is built on true character! You lose your leadership when you fake your character. The degree of leadership potential a person can expose will depend on how potent he can maintain his true character!
