10 Practical Points for Inspirational Leadership for Godly Leaders

• Dear Leader, in a world of many voices of selfish discouragement, be the voice of selfless encouragement to push people to be their best selves! Let love lead.

• Dear Leader, don't highlight people's weaknesses so much that you don't even see their strengths and innate potentials anymore! Know your strengths and weaknesses, play to your strength and encourage those you lead to do the same.

• Dear Leader, when people share ideas with you, be the affirmative voice that says "Go ahead! You can do it! You're going places!" Not the degrading/insecure voice that says "You're too weak to do it. It's not for everyone!"

• Dear Leader, check your heart/motives. Do you really want people around you to progress, even if it's more than you? Or are you limiting them so that you feel more in control? Give people free reins to ideate, implement and thrive!

• Dear Leader, ask yourself: Are you aligning with God's will for people's lives or do you have your own will for their lives? Remember, everyone (including you) is under God's control! So, overcome that feeling of insecurity, low self-esteem and fear of not being in control of people. Let those you currently lead maximise time, opportunities and grow!

• Dear Leader, see people the way God sees them, not the way the world sees them! God is in the business of making something out of what's naturally considered nothing! So, increase in your capacity to see hidden potentials, not only in words but in actions.

• Dear Leader, the Christian Bible Scriptures rightly teach that the students will be greater than their teachers. So, align with this mindset and hope that those you have had the opportunity to impart do better than you and other people they've been imparted by.

• Dear Leader, don't be quick to rule out anything you don't understand yet. Have an open innovative mind not a rigid limiting mindset. Understand that God sometimes works in ways we might not be able to comprehend. So, watch the results unfold before coming to conclusions.

• Dear leader, remember that everyone's life journey is unique! So, only compete with yourself. It's unhealthy to compete with other people (including those you currently lead). Instead, find joy in the knowledge that you are a part of their growth journey, wherever it leads them!

• Finally, dear leader, stay humble! Value people but don't get too attached to the extent that you try to limit their progress, instead of pushing them to be their best selves! Life runs in cycles. Those seemingly beneath you today might be greater than you tomorrow. So, don't devalue anyone! Honour everyone, even those you currently lead!

With Love,

An INFJ's Journey To Self Discovery

By

©16personalities.com In one sentence - It was hard. Growing up, I discovered quite quickly that I was different. The two words that I remember being used to describe me while growing up were - "Quiet and Slow." There were many instances in which the words were used but, the most notable experience was my tenth birthday anniversary.  I was born into a Christian family, so most celebrations were carried out within the religious gathering - my ten years old birthday celebration was not excluded either. It was a surprise celebration - I had no idea that it was being planned until the birthday morning when a huge cake landed on our doorstep. We (My family and I) took the cake and some snacks to the church family for the celebration, as was the norm.  Several people who had close relationships with me were given the chance to talk about me during the ceremony. I remember vividly because the event was recorded into a tape which I watched severally growing up. My brother

Self Discovery and Your Basic Temperament

In a previous article , we introduced temperaments as the fundamental reasons we act differently or alike as the case may be. The four major temperaments known are: Choleric (extroverted) Sanguine (extroverted) Melancholic (introverted)   Phlegmatic /Supine (introverted) Each of these temperaments have traits that are unique to them. When the temperaments blend together in a person, we see the person exhibit traits from their temperamental blend. The traits they show more determine their Primary temperament while the Secondary temperament, as the name implies, balances it out. The four temperaments combine to form blends which are 12 in number. You might also show tetiary and quaternary traits from other temperaments but these are negligible.  The 12 blends of temperaments (from the most extroverted to the most introverted) are:  Sanguine-Choleric (San-Chlor) - Complete Extrovert Choleric-Sanguine (Chlor-San) - Complete Extrovert  Sanguine-Phlegmatic (San-Phleg) -

WHAT MAKES YOU BEHAVE LIKE YOU?

Recently or should I say for sometime now, there's been a lot of questions on my mind about why I act the way I do, why I react a particular way to a situation, different from how another person would react in such situation, what makes individuals act alike or differently as the case may be, etc. Okay, these questions kept coming so, I used one of the special and most useful products of technological advancement, the google search engine to solve the mystery. Of course, I discovered that these questions were popular to the majority all around the world, which gave rise to research on why we act the way we do by psychologists and other individuals. From my finding, this research gave rise to the discovery of what we now refer to as TEMPERAMENTS. My simple definition of temperament goes thus: Temperament refers to the fundamentals of why we act the way we do when presented with different situations or circumstances and also in our daily lives. These fundamentals are genetic
