Don't Be Divided

Are You Divided?

One of the most delicate phases of life is the transition from high school to the tertiary institutions - or any transition for that matter. At this phase, we know where we are and where we are coming from, but are uncertain of where we are going. We have a glimpse of what we want, but we want it so fast that we consider the 'shortest' route possible in getting it. Only to realize it'd have been better had we waited. This explains why many are in the wrong course, wrong relationship, wrong career...

Our sojourn in life will be laden with many crossroads. But we must choose the right direction for us, no matter how unpopular. We must choose to either follow the voice of opinion or the voice of inspiration.

The voice of inspiration is our personal tutor - our teacher. The Bible says about him: "You will see your teacher with your own eyes. Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, 'This is the way you should go,'..." (Isa 30:20-21;NLT)

The path of inspiration may look slow and stupid, but it is steadfast and sure.

Obey your voice of inspiration.

I believe in you!

Mentoring Others

Give Your Wings

One common but funny phenomenon of life is that no matter where you are in life, there will always be people ahead and behind you. While you may want to look up to those ahead of you to give you wings, you must also look up to your equals for mutual support, and most importantly, create an avenue for you to give your wings to those behind you.

When you this, you may need to pay attention to the following:

1. Hold yourself to a higher standard. Keep ahead of the people you want to lead and influence (this explains why many don't want to be teachers)

2. Define your relationship with them. What exactly do you seek to achieve? Without purpose comes abuse.

3. Be consistent. Consistency is the mother of influence, and

4. Originality is the father. So be original. Don't pretend to be what you're not.

5. Know when to stop. No relationship is designed to be forever (except family ties!)

Giving wings to others forces you to be a better person too. So be a model worthy of emulation.

I believe in you!

Serving the Right Customers Right

ACHIEVE MORE
Yesterday's or Tomorrow's Customer?

Back to our discussion on posterity organizations. One common trait in the leadership is Innovation. They ensure they are always abreast of developments in the market. They keep going a step ahead, outdoing themselves to remain on top of their game. They organize themselves to meet the needs of today's customers, while repositioning themselves to meet the needs of tomorrow's customers.

Yesterday's customer (YC) loves to come to your office; tomorrow's customer (TC) prefers you coming to their office. YC are low in choices; TC loves varieties. YC loves certificates; TC prefers capacity. YC are happy being on the move; TC are more satisfied being on the go. YC is ok with 'hards'; TC prefers it being 'soft'. YC is suppressive and submissive;  TC is expressive and exploratory. YC wants to serve; TC wants to be served. YC doesnot mind waiting; TC wants it immediately. YC loves and thrives in community; TC loves independence and individuality.

In recognizing these changing times, Paul Tissot, an ex-director of the Tissot Company (branch of Swatch Group) said: "We need to make serious effort to reorganize, to bring in new ideas more attuned to the new situation."

Posterity organizations are also keen on innovation. You must keep getting better or you prepare to go under. And like Paul M. Romer said, "Every generation has underestimated the potential for finding new ideas...Possibilities do not add up. They multiply."

Multiply your possibilities by constant innovation and renovation.

I believe in you!
