Qualities of a good leader!Qualities of a Good Leadership Leadership is the process in which an individual (or group of people) is endeavoring to influence and direct efforts, attitude and interests of others into the effective and efficient accomplishment of certain established organizational or community goals.

There is no any way in which a group of two or more people may come together and work properly without the use of leadership as a way of achieving the goal they wish to attain. The evolution and origin of leadership is on the emergence of society itself, its difficult to look at the emergence of leadership in isolation, hence the proper way of understanding the origin and evolution of leadership is precisely looked at with connectedness with emergence of society itself.

TYPES OF LEADERSHIP

 Leadership has been grouped into the following types, autocratic leadership, bureaucratic leadership, charismatic leadership, democratic or participatory leadership, laissez-faire leadership, people oriented leadership. Servant leadership, task oriented leadership and transformational leadership.

Leadership has the following importance to any society, this is as follows:-

Leadership is important for the initiation of actions, as the society is always in constant struggle for its life betterment, with the aid of leaders (good leaders)or leadership p for this matter, proper actions are put in place(initiated) so as to meet or exceed their expected goals

Leadership plays a great role in the coordination of organizational/community activities, with leadership an organization are able to link different efforts of its members for the effective realization of the organizational goal. With leadership goals are easily planned, established well in an attainable manner for execution.

Leaders (leadership) are also crucial to the society for the provision of guidance and directions, as we have societies and organization with people with diverse interest, ambitions and skills, leadership is responsible to give out directions through all this diversity so that a straight way to the attainment of society vision is realized in a most effective way.

It comes a time when a leader  becomes the guardian of the society he/she is serving by giving out protection and confidence to the society this is  evident during hard times of the society, for instance in time of wars or any other natural calamities ,during this hard time good leaders are supposed to act a role of guardianship, as a way  a good shepherd would do to his sheeps,this is almost the most valuable importance of leadership ,without a leader with guardianship capabilities when  organization/societies face stiff circumstances the society might be divided and separated like the way a group of sheep may separate when attacked by wild animal.

After a closer look at the  importance of leadership to the society, let us now look at the qualities good leadership should be embodied with ,this is as follows;-

A   good leader should be visionary and missionary, by visionary we mean that a leader should be able to envisage the future before it appears with this capability a leader will be able to make informed decisions with leadership bias, with missionary we expect a leader who have particular aim(mission) that is compatible with the interest of the society that he/she seeks to fulfill, for instance poverty eradication will be a mission of a good leader in poor African societies.

A good leader should have great level of influence and discipleship, when you lead you obviously influence others, hence a good leader will have a great level of influence who will follow him/her without the use of rewards or punishment, without  fluencies it impossible to take others to attain goals certain goals, good leader will necessary  also have people following (disciples)him a good example of this is of ancient philosophers who had followers and disciples ,this are  like the Confucius of ancient China,Aristotle,and Plato to mention just a few, they were philosophers but they also fit in leadership qualities.

 A good leader will also have a great level of goal accomplishment, when you lead what you want to reach at is the accomplishment of goals, this  leadership quality is derived from the very essence of leadership itself,  it is obvious a good leader will have so much to accomplish.

A good leader will always be an exemplary, person of high discipline, high moral moral values and cetre of reference good leader will be a good example to his followers (people you are leading) if you will have habits that are questioned you wont be able to have organized force to the attainment of organization goals, morealso a good leader should have moral values that are not questionable, most important here is for a leader to be a centre of reference to his followers.subordinates,a good example of this is Mwalimu Jk Nyerere to Tanzania, who has always been a centre of reference to most leaders to Tanzanian contemporary and aspiring leaders, it is very obvious people will be ready to respect a leader with high moral values, and leadership is built in respect, respect is the cornerstone and most important ingredient to any leadership endeavors.

It is very important for a good leader to be a person of great humility and humanist, leader should be a servant of people we have passed a society rulers and ruled, good leader  has to serve the people, this has to be bared in mind of leaders of the contemporary society this is not era where a leader becomes ruler you have to save the people and always to protect the interest of the society, if a leader lack humanist attitude will not be bothered by the problem of his/her society, but any good leader will be driven by humanist and dignity to ensure the betterment of his/her society are reached at any cost.

Conclusively, it is most important to know that without influence it is impossible to lead others, I would like to end this discussion with this favorite proverb “he who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk”

Wanafunzi wa Kisabato Wafukuzwa TEKU kwa Kukataa Kufanya Mitihani Siku ya Sabato!!!!!

Nikirejea Ibara ya 19 ya Katiba yetu ya JMT ya Mwaka 1977 inatoa Uhuru wa Mtu Kuabudu.......

Hali kwa Chuo Kikuu cha Theophile Kisanji ni Tofauti kwani wanafunzi wapatao 8 wamefukuzwa Chuoni hapo kwa madai ya kutofanya mitihani iliyopangwa kufanyika siku ya Jumamosi Sabato kwamba kwa kanuni za Chuo hicho hiyo si sababu ya kumfanya mwanafunzi asifanye mitihani

Wanafunzi hao wapo mitaani kwa sasa wakisaka msaada wa kisheria

1. Je yamkini wakati wanafunzi hao wanapokelewa hilo halikuwekwa bayana?
2. Mbona Mitihani isiwe Jumapili?
3. Wapi Uhuru wa Kuabudu kwa mujibu wa Katiba JMT na sheria?

The Power of Leverage

Leveraged income can be defined as the income derived from the efforts of others. Unfortunately the majority of people in the world today earn a linear income, which basically means that they trade their time for money and unfortunately no matter how clever they are or how high their hourly rate, they are still restricted to only 24 hours in a day and therefore a limited earning potential. Leverage on the other hand, allows you to use the time and efforts of others to create an income. By learning to leverage your time, you can financially benefit not only from your own efforts, but from other people s efforts as well.

I would rather earn 1% of 100 people s efforts than 100% of my own efforts
John Paul Getty
(American Billionaire)

The question then comes.

How Can You Leverage On Other Peoples Time & Efforts?

Consider this simple calculation:

If  you’re working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and 50 weeks in 1 year

 1 person × 8 hours × 5 days × 50 weeks = 2,000 hours in 1 year

Suppose you’ll be working only a maximum of 40 years all throughout your life (25 years old ~ 65 years old)

2,000 hours × 40 years= 80,000 hours !!

Imagine if you are paid $8 per hour, $10 per hour or $12 per hour respectively.

$8 × 80,000 hours = $ 640,000

$10 × 80,000 hours = $ 800,000

$12 × 80,000 hours = $ 960,000

The figures above could only be your maximum income potential for the next 40 Years !! Now how much do you think your Dream House cost? Your Dream Car? Or Vacation with your family abroad, Or education for your kids.

Even if you get your dreams at this rate, will you be able to enjoy at such an old age 60?

Then what is really the secret to financial freedom? Simple, it is by

“MULTIPLYING OF TIME THROUGH OTHERS” (MOTTO)

Let’s consider again the simple calculation above, but this time, let us multiply your time to 10 people who will be working for you.

10 People × 8 Hours × 5 Days × 50 Weeks × 4 Years = 80,000 Hours !!

Take a careful look at the computation above. If there are 10 people working under you, you actually accumulate the same 80,000 Hours as when you’re only working alone. The BIG DIFFRENCE is time, you will only do it for 4 years instead of 40 years. You’ve just practically saved 36 years of your life !!

“Therefore, it is not only a matter of money you EARN, but also the time that you SAVED”

 

Does this mean you should quit your job tomorrow and start your own business? Well if you have a solid referral base, a good understanding of cash flow, management skills and the capital to get you started, you might consider it. Unfortunately the majority of people are not in this position. The good news is that today there is a business opportunity that allows you to use the power of leverage without having to quit your current job, or require a substantial up-front investment. This is the power of network marketing.

Not only does network marketing allow you to benefit from the work efforts of others but it also earns you a residual income, the kind of income that when you walk away, it continues to pay you. Because network marketing uses both the power of leverage and a residual based income it is now being recognised and endorsed by many business leaders in the world today.

If I lost everything and had to start again, I would find myself a great network marketing company and get to work!
- Donald Trump, on the David Letterman Show

Network marketing is no longer something to joke about, it is creating more millionaires today than the dot com boom industry did before the bubble burst. This is the reason why respected entrepreneurs like Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, economic forecasters like Paul Zane Pilzer and life and business coaches such as Dr. Denis Waitley are all recommending this proven system. In fact there are about 150 000 people just like you, joining network marketing every single week.

Traditional businesses fall into the trap of developing and training people, just for them to move on to starting their own business and become a direct competitor. One of the main advantages of the network marketing business model is that it allows you to help others succeed without creating competition, instead you get to leverage off the success of others, ultimately contributing to your success.

Better still is the fact that you don t need a university degree or large capital to get started in the industry. Network marketing offers the power of leverage to earn a residual income to anyone who is willing to succeed.

As with any business opportunity, in order to be successful you find that timing is half of it and execution is the other half. If you're looking for the right business opportunity that allows you to capitalise on both the power of leverage and growing market trends to create a powerful residual income then network marketing is the answer you have been looking for.
