Virtue Series 3: ORDER IN LEADERSHIP



Have you ever wondered why no one teaches you Algebra without first teaching Arithmetic? Why when you want to produce liquid soap, you're told to stir in one direction only after putting some chemicals in a specific order? Why you need to pass High school exam before going into College? Why the sun comes out in the day and not at night? Why you need to have foundational knowledge of human biology before you can comprehend neurology?

I am sure that experience has taught you, how much loss you incur jumping the order of natural course. The truth remains, Knowledge is build from piece of interconnected information that make sense when received in the right order. There are a lot of information you may come across today that will never be useful for you, until you have gotten some other level or experience or knowledge. This is so because we live in a world where order makes things fit. We have a brain built on the principle of orderliness. We have a mind that best work when served with ordered information. The fact is, Order is key in understanding, and Understanding is the bedrock of Success.

Lets bring this into leadership!

My field of study taught me something very important in solving any problem -Algorithm. Without knowing the step by step process that should be involved in achieving a goal, you will run into several errors and bugs that will frustrate your programming life. For every problem you identify and want to solve as a leader, you must ask yourself, '' What is the first thing to be done if this must work?'' You must seek to know the flow of actions and events and the best way to make them work. That is what we define as putting things in Order!

If you must succeed in business or leading an organization, you need to have a plan and let all components of your goal have their place and time. You need to not only understand what works, but also, in what combination does it work better. You need to have a timeline of events as much as possible and work with it. Orderliness does not trample flexibility, but it enhances focus and facilitates accomplishment, with little or no room for regrets and wastage of time.

You will kill your aspirations in life if you focus on developing only one area. Many are scared that they cannot be whom they wish to be, due to their level of numerous, necessary engagements. But suffice me to s
ay, a well planned life and ordered goals culminate into great success that makes you a more intellectual personality.

If there is any prayer you'll need to make as a potential leader, current leader, Progressive leader in whatsoever leadership class, it is this " That you may have the wisdom to order your life and timeline, in the best manner that solves the puzzles of life quicker and smarter for generational impact and Value addition."

THE BRAIN: POWERFUL DETERMINANT FOR ACTIVATION OF POTENTIALS

The brain is the number one evidence and epitome of gabbage in gabbage out. I have heard some people say "Oh if I read this for a long time, my brain will explode. Lol, sweetheart that is super untrue.  Research has it that, only 2% of the human brain has been used 98% remains mostly  unused, so there ain't an explosion that comes from maximizing the brains capacity. Our brain weighs 1.4 kilogram and suprisingly has 14 billion nerve cells, so it has the ability to contain large stock of information, larger that has ever been stuffed into anyone's brain.  A great research was made by some neurosurgeons in their bid to understand the capacity of the human brain. This research was carried out with two categories of brains which were : The brain of a freshly dead professor and that of an illiterate who left his brain dormant. It took pretty time to do this great comparism and GUESS WHAT!!!🤩🤭😌😁😁😁 There  was no difference between the brains when compared in te

BURST THAT COCOON ( BTC )

D BROKEN SILENCE!!!! Some 8years ago , I feared standing up in the midst of a crowd not to talk of speaking to them. The irony about the issue was that i always had a succinct idea that i believed was needful to place this aright, but i always squabble in fear and let my mouths get sealed up. She got into trouble because i found it difficult to say a word and prove her guiltless. I got bullied a couple of times because my silence made them feel I was configured to be maltreated. I missed bonus marks in the class, not because I didn't know the answer to the "seemingly tough question" but because i just kept silence about my knowledge , feeling so timid to say my mind. Amidst this years people kept on telling me, don't worry its just the best way to be - SILENT, I felt worst when I noticed in my small veil- covered mind that even those who spoke made no difference. I never knew that a word fitly spoken can turn tides even if not immediately . The whole scene kept

 Part 1: The Foundation of Personal Leadership   Welcome to our series on Building Personal Leadership! True leadership starts from within. John C. Maxwell's had this to say about leadership- "Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge." To take care of those in your charge, you need to have the capacity to understand their unique needs and challenges. You need to be steps ahead of them to understand their fears, worries, concerns and thereby provide relevant answers to their questions. Leaders who exert impact in the life of others are leaders who lead from personal experiences and who first invest in personal leadership. You can not give what you don’t have. If you attempt to do so, you will only feed them theories and leave them clueless on how to practice them. People stick to leaders who are masters at leading themselves. Hence, in your leadership journey, the best place to start is PERSONAL LEADERSHIP.
