Here is the 7th edition of leadership messages termed "Group of Ten Blocks of Refreshing Nuggets" - G.O.T B.O.R.N - as released one at a time on my Facebook wall over the past couple of days. Please enjoy it and if possible, give feedback in the appropriate form below. Have a great day!
1. Engineering is not just about theories, equations, computation/coding or 'practicals'. Relevant among others are intuition, nature, creativity, relationship, evolution, design, ideas, belief, leadership and economics. Engineering is I.N.C.R.E.D.B.L.E to say the least. #nugget71
2. Seriously contextual: Naija is probably No. 1 nation when it comes to churning out "entertaining stories" week-in week-out. Ours has graduated from "breaking news" to "breakable news". #nugget72
3. Of fixation and focus: Unless we out-think the problem, solution is out of reach. Fix your focus and shape your life. #nugget73
4. Realistically, make your voice count. Organizationally, make your vote count. Existentially, make your vitals count. #nugget74
5. Glory by association: Perfect world is an imperfect expectation. When you achieve medallion performance like Ese Brume, expect all and sundry to share in your glory. #nugget75
6. Have you ever wondered why every successful transformation looked ordinary in retrospect? Closing one 'gap to potential' leads to another gap to close. #nugget76
7. Being a change agent starts with personal change or transformation. A changed personality is one who has been transformed by the renewal of his or her mind. #nugget77
8. Mentees' creed: Seek ye first value driven performances and all other values shall be added unto you. Mentors' expectation is that you grow well in commitment, character and competence. #nugget78
9. Counting the cost: The chance for success depends on the accuracy of the budget. Building Up Developments on Gauged Economic Targets - B.U.D.G.E.T. #nugget79
10. Leadership is about trust. Trust nurtured, protected and guaranteed builds institutions which in turn builds a great nation. #nugget80
Refreshing indeed. Number 6 probably stands out as the most thought-provoking. Nelson Mandela in his book "Long walk to freedom" made a similar submission noting that one dicovers many other hills to climb after climbing one hill. Indeed continuous improvement is at the center of sustainable excellent performance culture. Great Nuggets. Thank you Amos for sharing.
