I want to share with us on something that I believe you and I require as leaders anytime we are going through a difficult or challenging time in our leadership. We want to look at: The Response of Leadership in Difficult and Challenging Times. And one of the things I’ve discovered is that at some point or the other in your leadership, there will be that occasion, there will be that time in which a challenging moment or a difficult moment might show up or my ensued as a result of the leadership. So, in that situation or circumstance, when…

I’m going to start by explaining to us what a key performance indicator is because I believe as leaders, we are familiar with what strategic leadership is and we are also familiar with what crisis management is. So, I’m not going to be defining those terminologies to us because I believe they are terminologies that we are familiar with. But I simply want to define what a key performance indicator is because that is like the crux of what we’re looking at today on Leaderview. So, what is a key performance indicator? Listen to Podcast: Strategic Leadership in Crisis Management…

Many leaders across the world today are looking for fulfilment in leadership, but they are not getting it. There are some who have even sought for this fulfilment in wrong places and in wrong practices, yet, the fulfillment still eludes them. But the truth of the matter is this: Every genuine fulfillment in leadership begins from the place of burden. Listen to Podcast: Finding Fulfillment in Leadership In the book of Luke 12:49-50, Jesus made this profound statement: “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized…

Often times, the idea of transformation cannot take place without someone or a group of persons championing it behind the wheels. No transformation anywhere happens out of the blues. Every transformation is a product of ideas, collaboration, and most importantly, leadership. The question is: Why leadership? The truth of the matter is that no matter how beautiful the ideas may appear, no matter how effective the collaboration may be, if there is no leadership to coordinate everything, the transformation outcome would at best be a mirage. So, there must be of necessity, a man or woman who is championing the…

The Leader-Follower dynamics explains the relationship that must exist between a leader and his team which would foster growth and progress within the organization. Many times, when these dynamics aren’t understood or are absent, it produces a slow-motion kind of progress or lack of growth and progress at all. This is why it is important that we examine this leader-follower dynamics for effectiveness in leadership. Listen to Podcast: The Leader-Follower Dynamics for Greater Effectiveness There are three basic things that strengthens the leader-follower dynamics. The first is CONNECTION. The second is INFLUENCE. The third is a SENSE OF CARE. CONNECTION…

Sweden is confident that Turkey will approve its application to join the NATO military alliance, but cannot fulfil all the conditions Ankara has set for its support, Sweden’s prime minister said on Sunday. “Turkey both confirms that we have done what we said we would do, but they also say that they want things that we cannot or do not want to give them,” Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson told a defence think-tank conference in Sweden. Finland and Sweden signed a three-way agreement with Turkey in 2022 aimed at overcoming Ankara’s objections to their membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.…

In whatever situation or circumstance that we find ourselves, God’s desire is that we choose Him and exercise our free will towards Him. Whether we are rich or poor, whether we have had our prayers answered or not, whether we are sick in our bodies or we are in health, whether we have food to eat or we don’t have food to eat; God’s ultimate desire for us is that we exercise our freewill in choosing Him. Even though we have the choice to choose other things over God, God desires that we choose Him, and this is why we…

One of the many ways through which leaders can become effective in their assignment is simply by refocusing. There are certain leadership challenges or opposition that a leader would not be able to overcome except he or she refocuses. Today’s world of leadership is so competitive and vision-driven to the point that it takes a leader who constantly refocuses to stay afloat. Listen to Podcast: Refocusing Leadership for Greater Effectiveness Now, at some point in Jesus’ leadership, He led twelve men. These men began following Him everywhere He went, and they were observing everything that He was doing. But a…

In this piece, I want to show us three things we can do as leaders to rescue our leadership from the pangs of ineffectiveness. Listen to Podcast: How to Rescue Your Leadership from Ineffectiveness 1). Talk less and Do More! In the book of Acts 1:1, the Bible says: “The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach…” Jesus’ leadership was not just about talking alone and doing nothing. Jesus taught and also went to work Himself. There were certain responsibilities that Jesus didn’t leave to the care of His disciples,…
