Leadership Thoughts

The heart of Leadership is Trust & Trustworthiness. There can be no Leadership without Trust & Trustworthiness. Without Trust & Trustworthiness there is no Respect. Without Respect there is no Loyalty.

'An effective leader must build Trust, Loyalty and Respect in the heart of every one of his or her followers, and this will be stronger than any material incentive.' - Francis A Nwofor

Effective Leaders develop their people, as is evident in this Chinese proverb, “If you are planning for one year, grow rice. If you are planning for twenty years, grow trees. If you are planning for centuries, grow men.”

Leadership is an Art in People Management; whatever a Leader does, he or she does it as a person and towards People.

Leadership is all about influence, your people buy-in to your leadership based on your words and deeds.

Baiyun, a Buddhist Monks says, “What can be said but not practiced is better not said. What can be practiced but not spoken is better not done. When you utter words you should always consider their ends. When you establish a practice, you must always consider what it covers. Speech and Action is the pivot of ideal people, the basis of governing one’s person.”

Transformational Leadership starts with the Leader changing his or her mindset.

Ghandi says, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
