VICTIM OF MY MIND pt3



THE LEADER'S ROLE

Proverbs 23:7 King James Version (KJV)

 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

1You cannot go contrary from your  dominant thought. You ultimately become what you think,

3, One of the crucial responsibility of A Leaders is to shape the  minds of the Lead help  refocus  their thoughts with thoughts that engenders destiny Actualisation.

4,As a Leader you need to listen, observe,discern  and investigate the dominant thought of your followers.

5,With my little experience in leadership, haven  lead different people from different fields ,ages, background and exposure, I can say this emphatically, what goes on in their minds most times are not nice at all.

6, People are going through secret stuffs like dangerous low self esteem, depression, fear,unforgiveness and bitterness, just to mention a few.

7, Reshaping the mind is not what you do erratically,it must be deliberate and intentional. These are the few suggested ways you deliberately shift the minds of the people following you.

 8,Discern the mindset.
We all have a mindset that situations or environment has moulded in us which may be harmful to our destinies. You must as a leader be able to discern that mould in the life of your followers to be able shift that mindset. You discern by
I)  engaging them in conversations.

ii) by observing how the act in face of situations.

iii) by asking the holy spirit to expose it to you.

9,EXPOSE THE PROBLEM. until you know a problem you won't appreciate the solution, therefore after discerning the issue is becomes important that you expose the issue to them by teaching them the havoc of such mindset .It's important I mention this  ,please don't make your teaching vindictive ,you can reach out to help without making them feel bad.

9, ENGAGE THE THE WORD OF GOD. The advantage we have as Christians is we have Gods word on our side. The bible calls this mindset, STRONGHOLD,these are captivity in the mind of the people but the Word of God is our might  weapon in which we use to pull down those destructive strongholds.

10,The word of God is Gods power expressed in words and the greatest tool of mind transformation. Amongst many other things you do as a Leader engage the word of God ,teach them, show them and act it also.

11,The word of God pumps faith and hope in the life of men,nothing builds healthy self esteem like the faith built word from God.

14,Give them assignment, Please leaders engage your followers by deliberately giving them Book assignments, look for books That deal with their their peculiar mind mould and give them to study and do a review on it. personally the greatest blessing that has happened to me is the gift of Great mentors  who stretched me through strategic book assignments.

How To Deal With Criticism

Topic: **DEALING WITH CRITICISM* . I Recently witness a pathetic leadership blunder. where a suppose leader was engage in a fight with a person that was criticising him and with the various victimisation of people across the country for criticising people in power, it was obvious to me that many leaders have a lot of deficits in basic leadership skils. As unfair as this may sound one of the pain in leadership is criticism, you seem never to escape it as a leader, no matter how good you are, people will still criticize you. It can either be constructive or destructive but you can't escape me if you are leader. To be a leader is to be frontier, and you cannot be a frontliner without being stoned at or without suffering one criticism or the other. So to be a leader and you don't want to be criticised is having an unrealistic expectation, as a ripe fruit you should naturally expect stones to be thrown at you, every successful leader knows that no matter how good you are someone w...

Leadership In A Fast Changing World

          I remember the closing speech of the CEO of Nokia, Stephen Elop, during the press conference that announced Microsoft’s acquisition of Nokia. He ended his speech saying; “...we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost.” Upon this conclusion, he and the entire management team publicly wept. You don't have to be wrong to be out, all you need is to lag behind in a fast moving world like ours. Nokia did nothing but they were too busy doing activities while the world was busy "jetting". They lost the company and billions that would have been made and future relevance, they lost big! Activity is not a sign of progress. You can be actively going round circles. This is the case of many leaders today, they keep doing what they know how to, what they are used to and still feel they are in the market, meanwhile the world has long left them behind.   A leader who is not getting updated daily will soon go off the market; updating prevents outdat...

VICTIM OF MY MIND pt2

You can never be different from what goes on in your mind, a man is a reflection of his dominant thoughts. Your mind is either a lid to your progress or an acceleration for your progress. The mind is influence by 1) THE FAMILY: there's 90% livelihood that you will end up with similar life experience with your parent if there is no mind shift, if your parent only think and speak lack ,it then starts to form your mindset which you'll eventually toll that path  unless there is a deliberate mind shift. 2,THE ENVIRONMENT: Do you ever wonder why children and people who grow up in slums tend to be more violent, This is  because that's what their environment teaches them,the  interactions that goes on in your environment, the life style has major role in forming your mindset, we are largely a product of our environment. 3,EDUCATION:  Education is and an institutionalised system of mind shift, the kind and level  of education you get will determine how you v...
