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!
~ Israelmore Ayivor
It is not the person who is being taken out of a trouble that gains experience on how to deliver people from troubles. It’s the person who does the deliverance that gains more experience. Leadership is service!
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!
There are four types of environments; the one that can help destroy you, the one that can help improve you, the one that can destroy the improved you and the one that can improve the destroyed you. Watch out and be vigilant!
When you know every well what to do and how to do it, your attitude determines how well you will have it done!
True leadership is an attitude that naturally inspires and motivates others, and it comes from an internalized discovery about yourself.
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.
A compassionate government does not need to pay too much attention to those who don't have needs. True leadership is to fulfill a need of the needy. People who have needs need attention indeed! Be a true leader!
Defend your leadership roles with your true character. Never attack your own aspirations with corruption and unfaithfulness! Keep calm and be honest!
You never win unless you win the hearts of people.
~ Syed Bokhari
True leaders do not make choices with reference to the opinion of the majority. They make choices based on the opinion of the truth and the truth can come from either the majority or the minority!
True leaders are like statues, whether it rains or it shines, they never bend their necks to look backwards! They never run away from challenges!
You may gain a position, but that does not mean you've gained leadership. You may lose position, but that does not mean you've lost leadership! When you gain true character, you can leadership and when you lose it, you cease to be a leader!
This is what you can do to be called a true leader; know the truth, love the truth, speak the truth and repeat the cycle over and over again and again! Let the truth reign!
...21st century leaders use their brain cells more than their muscle tissues!
Christ is my model of leadership because he faced similar challenges we also face on earth today, but through it all He was victorious. To leaders are not overcome by challenges!
Unfortunately, most followers do not know that they can also become leaders because to them, leadership is confined to an assumed category of people who have authority or social prestige as their background pillows.
Your character and attitude is what takes the lead in your leadership role and you follow them as a true leader. Poor character and attitude is eventually poor leadership.
One of the most common areas where we fail is when we begin to think that genetic make-up of a person determines how far he can lead. Leadership is learnt and practiced!
...while some communities are chasing visions out, others are chasing one another away. ....while some leaders love breaking records, others love breaking constructed buildings. Good leaders deserve golden trophies while gas cylinder is o.k for the bad ones!
