A good leader makes it possible for his people to dream and achieve greatness. When you adjust the sails and give talented people opportunities to do their best work, the impossible becomes possible.

It’s a very good thing to give the right people who have the ability, skills, competence, the zeal and the determination to make great impact in your business, your institution or your organization the opportunity to contribute to the success of your establishment, the opportunity to serve diligently, and professionally, instead of making the mistakes of compensating people who are incompetent, lazy, inexperienced and careless with sensitive job positions or offices in your business or establishment.

Adjusting the sails simply means ensuring that your team members, employees, aides, workers, appointees, subordinates, colleagues etc have the wind at their backs as they work towards shared responsibilities, goals and their own successes.

Adjusting the sails; It’s about helping your team members collaborate, each drawing on his or her own strengths, to solve problems or to proffer solutions. And it’s about creating a conducive, peaceful, non toxic environment where everyone, the leader included, can feel safe taking risks and continually growing and achieving positive results.

One of the best ways to grow as a good leader is by learning from people you admire and not always complaining about situations, but giving your best in difficult times to adjust smartly for excellent results.

No doubt that in every home, institution, firm, organization, there’s always someone or group of people assigned or delegated to take up the leadership position, responsibilities, roles and to ensure that things go well.

Life is about discovering who we are, leading is about striving to become better than we are, and helping everything and everyone around us to become better too. Leadership is not a position but it’s an opportunity to inspire you, motivate you, encourage you, and empower you to be the best you can be and also to influence others to be the best they can be.

There are no office hours for leaders and leaders who want the best results are servants and great teachers as well as great motivators. Leaders who see their position or title as an opportunity to show off power end up badly.

Many think that leadership is about position, title or rank; No, leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, for excellent results, great performance and you have to inspire your team-mates and others involved in your business or assigned duties, including your followers and subordinates who work with you and look up to you as a leader.

It’s very important that we understand that leadership is the ability to establish a course of direction and recognize actions that need to be taken to move forward on the established path or on the assignment or on the tasks that you have to accomplish and achieve success.

Great leaders are infinite solution providers and they are result oriented. They don’t believe in titles or positions, they believe in RESULTS.
