LEADERSHIP‬ TONIC 01: THE ROLE OF UNDERSTANDING IN LEADERSHIP

“Discretion shall preserve you, UNDERSTANDING shall keep you” Prov. 2:11 (AKJV).
“Wisdom is of utmost importance, therefore get wisdom, and with all your effort work to acquire UNDERSTANDING” Prov. 4:7 (ISV)

Understanding makes a whole lot of difference in the life of a man. A lot has been said about leadership, but there are questions that are begging for answers; what is the cause of all this societal menace? Has there not been enough enlightenment on the issue of leadership? Well, a lot of emphasis is laid on leadership and much more will be laid.

In my little voyage through issues that has bedevilled the existence of mankind, I have discovered that people lack understanding of the concept of leadership. We see people parading themselves as leaders in different spheres of life who lack the understanding of some basic things in leadership.

The importance of understanding cannot be over emphasized. Lack of understanding can make you turn something that is meant for good to the worst of things.

Someone may be asking me now; how can one get understanding? Well, one way I can quickly say is to ASK! We live in a generation where people do not ask questions before doing things. If you must be a successful leader, you must ask questions. You will get clarity on issues and with that comes better understanding. Getting understanding is not that easy, it is something you acquire with some effort. The next time you want to conclude on a matter, be sure to have gotten a clear understanding of that matter.

In the next episode of this series, I will bring you some basic things you need to understand about leadership. Stay blessed.
