Leaders believe that falling is not failing, but refusal to rise up after falling is the real form of failure!
~ Israelmore Ayivor
Leaders are not worried about what they can’t do, they know themselves very well and focus on what they can do. Think this way if you are willing to lead!
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!
Leaders are not worried about the respect and honour they can be given, but the impacts and influence they can give!
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!
Knowing God is not enough; you must make Him known to others. Through your living character, you tell more about the living God!
Just as every crop performs on its specific type of soil, and not all fishes can grow in every kind of water, so is leadership. You can’t lead where you can’t thrive; you can lead where you can survive!
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!
Opportunities loiter in every corner. Everyone may see them, but it’s only great leaders that stop by to give them lifts!
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!
God has buried your leadership roles in your gifting. To take the lead, you got to unzip the gift bag. It’s your responsible to make it happen!
Leaders create a conducive environment for followers to accomplish their respective dreams. True leaders never fall for anything inferior!
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!
He who cannot serve cannot lead. It is by being a servant that you recognize that followers also have needs. True leaders are service oriented!
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!
You become a leader when you believe in what you can do. The eagle believes it can soar, it doesn’t believe it can swim. The day the eagle will attempt to swim will be the day it will fail!
Leaders fail when they begin to fall in love with negative mindsets of other people!
Great leaders are great servants because the only way of setting an example is by demonstrating an example. Service to mankind is the key to true leadership!
Every true leader is a true follower. Every true follower is a true leader. You are followed because of the dreams you pursue, you pursue others because of the dreams they follow!
Preparation is the key to leadership success. The more prepared you are the less your struggle to make it happen and the more your effectiveness!
True leaders are ready to sweat when making rehearsal, than to cry tears when actually practicing. To save the tears, be ready to sweat!
Jesus’ promise of resurrection of believers came with a demonstration. He did it and said His followers who die will do same. This is leadership! It’s based on truth!
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!
The leader’s job is to show the way. The bottom line is that you can’t tell anything about the condition of the way if you've not traveled on it yourself!
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!
The sweeper of the street is a leader in his own respect provided he does his job well with all love, diligence and attention than anyone would do when given the same broom sticks.
Many people know themselves but hardly believe what they know. To be a leader, knowing yourself is not enough; you must believe what you know about yourself!
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.
What people see you do may not be remembered, what they hear you say may be forgotten, but how they feel your intervention in their times of need will forever be remembered.
