I)    FOCUS ON  DEVELOPING AND WORKING ON ENHANCING AND ACQUIRING SOCIAL  ABILITY /LEADERSHIP ABILITY/ COMMUNICATION SKILLS.

II)    TO BE MENTALLY PREPARED AND ALERT TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO ANY GIVEN SITUATION.

III) IMBIBE THE FOLLOWING RIGHT HABITS IN ROUTINE TO INSTILL THE CHANGES IN YOUR PERSONALITY:

 

 

 1.  PRACTICING BEING PROACTIVE, PEOPLE CONTROL SITUATIONS BY CAUSING THINGS TO HAPPEN RATHER THAN WAITING TO RESPOND AFTER THINGS HAPPEN (REACTIVE).

 

 2.  TO START WITH A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR DESTINATION. ONCE WE HAVE CLARITY ABOUT OUR END GOAL, WE’LL NOT ONLY BE ABLE TO PINPOINT WHAT EXACTLY WE WANT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE’LL BE ABLE TO PINPOINT WHAT WE DON’T WANT.

 

 3.  PRIORITIZE WHICH ACTIONS WE SHOULD TAKE FIRST BY PLACING  FIRST THINGS FIRST.

 

 4.  BEING POSITIVE AND THINKING WIN/WIN FOR SELF AND OTHERS. THIS  SHOWS BALANCE OF THE TWO  MENTALITIES ,CONSIDERATION AND COURAGE. THE CONSIDERATION IS YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR THE OTHER PERSON AND COURAGE IS YOUR COURAGE TO BACK YOURSELF.

 

 5.  THINK ON OTHER PEOPLE’S NEEDS AND IT IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD, ESTABLISH TRUST WITH THEM BY RECIPROCATING ACCORDINGLY, AND COMMUNICATING  YOUR EMOTIONS, YOUR LOGIC  AND TO GO INTO A CONVERSATION WITH THE AIM TO UNDERSTAND AND SEEK TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER PERSON.

 

 6.  TO VALUE EACH PERSON’S DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEWS IN THE GROUP OR OTHERWISE. THE KEY TO SYNERGY  AND LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT  LEADING ONLY , ARGUING ABOUT WHICH PERSON’S VIEW IS RIGHT OR WRONG, IT’S ABOUT REALLY VALUING THE DIFFERENCE IN POINT OF VIEWS BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT GIVES US NEW INSIGHTS .

 

 7.  TAKE THE TIME TO MAINTAIN AND RENEW YOUR MIND, BODY, EMOTIONS, SPIRIT AND TIME TO RENEW YOURSELF BEFORE PRACTICE I.E  SHARPEN YOUR AXE AND PRACTICE.
