Nurturing your Vision

Nurturing your Vision
A vision needs and has to be nurtured, re-ignited, groomed and shared with others in order for one to be effective. For like a rose that is not watered and pruned a vision may die and go to waste no matter how attractive and useful it was bound to be. As a leader one has to get into a habit of practicing the following:
Write it
Naturally human beings tend to remember better that which they would have written down .This gives the mind a better room for storing things in it as compared to hearing .Writing gives us a visual picture of what would have transpired .The aspect of writing down your vision is also cemented in the bible as highlighted below :
“Write the vision, make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it”                            (Habakkuk 2:2)
The runner may be taken as your potential follower in leadership. Your vision should be vividly shared amongst those you lead so that they can perform to their best in a manner that will satisfy you .This will give you more room for performance appraisal.
“If you tell us we will hear, if you involve us we will understand”
Pray it –prayer is a necessary tool as it develops and strengthens our passion
Prayer changes all, it is a necessary practice, and it grooms and builds passion and a strong desire success with an exemplary life.
Share it-a good leader has the ability to share his or her vision. Vision sharing gives you accountability because people are now aware of your endeavors and may adopt a wait and see attitude. You have to leave up to your expectations and in the process mentor others.
Do it-’actions speak louder than words”

Vision building is like sewing plants ,it is a seed that we plant now with the future in mind  as Napoleon Hill asserts “Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements “

The influence in a leader

Every song comes from another song, every leader succeeds another, every story end is the beginning of another, every person is from a successfully fertilised sperm and every story repeats and continues another. Likewise success breeds success and so shall the sperm of success when natured, monitored and groomed well it shall produce success. The power of influence can only be useful when put into motion , the same applies with leaders who have influence but don’t direct it towards transforming societies. The power of influence however cannot function without the necessary environment.Influencial leaders are people who are able to create a conducive environment for them to exert that influence, they don’t force people to buy into their vision but their works act as a bait to lure followers. Influence is earned over time, remember that there is always competition for it .In the same fashion only a competitive sperm can result in fertilisation. “We are all cut out from the sam...

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler  ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for  the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision. This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

FEAR ,NO FEAR! Move from a moaners and a groaners to movers and shakers

  Fear kills more people than death .In order to have self motiavation  you need to acknowledge your fears.That you fear something is a first positive step towards setting your mind free for fear is truly and purely a mind game.You can overcome your fears,yes you can all you need is to take the next essential move   of practical action oriented.It is this action step that determines whether we challemge and change the way things are done or we just conform to situations and rot inside us in fear and our dreams are buried inside our hearts.As a  result we cheat the world of an important leadership gift and seed that is in us  .We can overcome our fears by  challenging the way things are done.     Fear can be simple defined as:   F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal As leaders we become effective when we first deal with our internal fears,for the world out there is built on fear of the unknown whilst success is...
