Both the rich and the poor are given equal time of 24 hours a day to maximise their potentials. Time is a common denominator but how you use it is what determines what you make out of it. The clock keeps ticking, telling you that time waits for no one. Time gives us all equal space but you are the one who determines what you input in the space of time. What ever you set to do, you must make time for it because you will not have a reserved time if don’t make it out for yourself. Now is the time to make out time to plan how, why, when that project must be executed. Time management is a major tool to your success, so work on it.
“You will never find time for anything. You must make it.” – Charles Buxton
Create time for what you love, spend time doing what will unleash your potential.
To be successful in this life, you must be focused, I mean seeing with your mind and not just your eyes. Always keep in mind the desired end result of that great goal. Challenges will surely come as obstacles to frustrate, distract and stop you, but if you must reach your goal, you must keep the big picture of what you desire in mind and fight those frightful things you can see with your eyes by deliberately ignoring them and be obsessed with your goal and ensure you work it with massive action to success.
When you loose focus, distraction is inevitable. Your mind must be your eyes and your eyes must be positioned to focus solely on your goal. When you maintain this position, you will only see your goal and not obstacles but when your mind wavers from your goal you are bound to see obstacles. Keep your mind and your eyes on your goal. Avoid distraction, you can do it.
“Obstacles are those frightful things you can see when you take your eyes off your goal.” – Henry Ford
Let your mind be your eyes as you work on your goals. Keep your eyes on your goal to avoid distraction in order to overcome obstacles.
Hello great people, It’s a new week and I will like to share with you some valuable tips about leadership success. These tips have helped me as a leader and I hope they will be helpful to you as well.
The unique quality that all leaders have in common is that they have a clear and exciting vision for the future. This is something that only the leader can do. Only the leader can think about the future and plan for the future each day. The followers or subordinates won’t do this for the leader, therefore, the leader must be proactive and develop a clear vision.
Develop A Clear Vision
An Excellent leader will do the following: I. Take the time to think through and develop a clear picture of where they want the organization to be in one, three, five and ten years. II. Communicate this vision in such a way that others “buy in” and eventually see the vision as belonging to them.
Inspire People
It is the vision of the future possibilities, of what can be, that arouses emotion and inspires people to give of their best. The most powerful vision is always qualitative, aimed at and described in terms of values and mission rather than quantitative, described in terms of money.
Of course, money is important, but the decision and commitment to “be the best in the business” is far more exciting.
To encourage others, to instill confidence in them, to help them to perform at their best requires first of all that you lead by example.
Be A Great Team Player
A study at Stanford Business School reveals two important qualities required for great success in leadership. The first is the ability to put together a team and function as a good team player. Since all work is ultimately done by teams, and the managers’ output is the output of the team, the ability to select team members, set objectives, delegate responsibility and finally, get the job done, was central to success in management.
Keep Your Cool
The ability to function well under pressure especially in a crisis is key to the promotion of any leader and keeping your cool in a crisis means to practice patience and self-control under difficult or disappointing circumstances.
Remind Yourself That Everyone Is Watching
Critical moments under fire reveals the character and quality of a leader. These are moments when everyone is watching, observing and privately taking notes. As Rudyard Kipling once said, “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, then the world is yours and all that’s in it”.
Your responsibility as a leader is to have a clear vision of where you want to go and then to keep your cool when things go wrong, as they surely will.
