DO NOT GIVE UP
LIFE IS NOT SMOOTH –SAILING
WITH BELLS ALWAYS RINGING
IT HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS
AND SMILES AND FROWNS

NOT ALL DAYS ARE SUNNY AND BRIGHT
FEW THINGS ARE ACHIEVED OVER NIGHT
TO ATTAIN WHAT IS GOOD AND RIGHT
YOU NEED TO STRUGGLE WITH YOUR MIGHT

WHEN THINGS TURN OUT WRONG
DON’T THINK ALL ITA GONE
WHEN THINGS BECOME ROUGH
ITS UR TIME TO TURN TOUGH

THER IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT FAILER
HARDSHIP AND PAIN YOUY HAVE TO ENDURE
WHEN YOU FALL OR GET HURT
DO NOT QUIT OR
NEVER GIVE UP
THIS IS WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT

EXPECTATIONS OF A LEADER
AS A GOOD LEADER , ONE IS EXPECTEDTO HAVE SOME QULITIES.THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF LEADERSHIP WHICH ARE SITUATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL . SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP IS WHEREBY A PERSON LEADS BECAUSE HE/SHE IS SUPOOSED TO DO SO AT THAT TIME DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES BUT PROFESSIONAL IS WHEN A PERSON LEADS BECAUSE HE/SHE HAS QULITIES OR CHARACTERISTICS. Employees expect a lot from their leaders and when they don’t get what they expect they begin to lose trust and respect for their leader. As the workplace continues to transition from a knowledge to a wisdom-based environment, the requirements for great leadership are changing. For example, leaders must have greater emotional intelligence so they can connect more intuitively with their employees. They must become better listeners, opportunity enablers and exceptional coaches. Because employees are in search for high-trust relationships, leaders must be more instinctually connected with their employees and this requires them to be more self-aware about how their overall behavior and the example they set impacts the performance of others.
It’s easy for leaders to get lost in the spotlight of their leadership roles and lose sight of the increased performance demands and political pressures that go with the responsibility. Leadership is all about people and if leaders begin to lose touch with those they lead – they will become disconnected with the requirements of the business and the marketplace in which they compete. In the process, they begin to lose their leadership momentum and weaken their personal brand identity
