The Leader In You

-

 Hello Friends,

Welcome to my blog. Today we will be looking at the topic 'The Leader in You". Maybe for too long all you see is the side of being a follower, which is alright because every individual will have a time in his or her life where you are either following or leading. You need both to embrace both successfully and do not downplay on any to enable you successfully navigate to the top.  One of the forces of success is your motive. What is motive? Simply put, a reason for doing something. My next question is why are you not a leader? If l were to throw this open, l would probably have answers like:

I don't have what it takes

I haven't been given the opportunity

I don't have a team to lead

I cannot put up with managing people

I think l will fail being one etc.

It takes the right motive to understand why you should be a leader. Leaders are not born rather they are made. Pause for a moment and look around you, are there things you would like to change or things currently being done that you thing could have been handled different by you? That is the leader in you trying to find expression. You must understand that being a leader is more than being in position to lead others. You must earn it, at this point, leading comes with ease because you have already watered the soil by having influence over those you are leading, you have the 2 most important ingredients in building followership, which are "Trust" and "Loyalty". 

The permission to becoming a leader lies in the power of your choice. Your choice grants you the permission to lead, not the people, not the situation, not even the opportunity. If you choose not to lead, inspite of the the people's request, the situation or the opportunity, then there is nothing that can be done about that, only that loses will be recorded in the golden book of record because you robbed the world of your contributions. The population of the world has risen to 8.1bn people and a chunk of diverse expertise is available for you to delve in and lead in that anyways.

Doubt your doubts

Ground your fears &

Be ready to free the leaders trapped in you, who has been seeking emergence and expression.

You Are A Leader!

The Iceberg Model: A Systems Thinking Tool

-
Hello my Trendsetting Teens, Today, we want to use this model to explain Systems Thinking as a tool to solve problems and receive desired outcomes. Imagine an iceberg, where: Above the waterline (Visible): Events : The tip of the iceberg, representing individual incidents or symptoms (e.g., a conflict, a problem, or an issue). Below the waterline (Hidden): Patterns : The layer beneath events, revealing recurring themes, cycles, or relationships (e.g., communication breakdowns, power struggles). Structures : The underlying framework, including rules, roles, and processes that shape the system (e.g., organizational design, social norms). Mental Models : The deepest layer, comprising assumptions, beliefs, and values that influence our perceptions and actions (e.g., biases, worldviews). Systems Thinking Connection: Events are symptoms of underlying patterns, structures, and mental models. Addressing only events (the tip) won't solve the problem; we must explore and understand the hidde

DON'T DWELL, POUNCE

 Hi Friend, It is almost getting to the end of a season called 2023 and many are currently taking stock of how the year went. For some, they had many wins, they celebrated, while others, are in a state of gloominess over too many losses they think they recorded. I am sorry to hear that you didn't close the deal, buy the house, get to make the changes and change the trajectory of your life within the time frame you set for yourself but have you ever stop to think that it is not over until it is over? They could be many reasons why it didn't work as planned and you have two options to consider; 1. To either look into the origin of the issue so you can resolve it, learn from it so you can proceed with caution, and instruct others  2. Alternatively, you can choose to reside in a temporary dwelling of self-pity and indulge in sorrow over your losses.  Having a RESPONSE ready is essential for handling life's inevitable challenges. 'But how can I do that?' I can hear you s
