BUSINESS START-UP:

BECOMING THE RIGHT PERSON

It has been severally said that not merely people, but the right people, make an organization successful. Often however, the demonstration of that the right people is directed at the staff. I believe that the first person who should become the right person is that person with the vision. No one can go far with a ‘do-as-i-say-but-not-as-i-do’ attitude. You cannot have courteous staff if as an employer you are rude, brash or impolite.

While speaking at a conference, there was a lady employer who said that she felt that example was the most powerful motivator for employees. Expanding on that she said, she usually arrived work earlier than her staff, and often closed later than them. This made them come in early as well. They saw ‘Madam’ doing it and simply copied. For them it was not merely an official instruction but a way of life. There are certain attitudes an employer or workplace leader should imbibe and demonstrate.

1. HUMILITY & COMMUNICATION:

The business landscape does not have space for proud people. You may be better than others, but who cares if business is not flowing in your direction? Know when to mend fences for your business, or ensure apologies are tendered, especially when you know that your staff has issues with your clients. Which is better, to keep making money while the business relationship gets better or to lose business while maintaining your rights? Granted that some customers will push you to the edge, you must learn to be assertive without losing business. Except in cases where the issue is engendered by corrupt propositions.

2. SHAPE UP

You cannot be sloppy and expect your staff to do better than you. In small and medium scale businesses in particular, seeing how the boss operates seriously impacts on staff performance, even if your business is manned by just you and your spouse for now.

I have known a certain businessman for over ten years, and after building a multi-million naira business, at the point when others start taking things ‘a little easier’ he still resumes work well before 8.00am. It’s no mystery how he succeeded. Many think that a business person is one who resumes work whenever he feels like and closes anytime he fancies. If you don’t personally show sufficient diligence in your business, no one can be blamed for your slow progress. You may never have staff more diligent than you in your employment. If you do, you’d most probably frustrate them and they’ll leave. A proverb states that a team of horses takes their pace from the leading horse. In ancient times, army Generals physically led their armies to war. You have to be the lead horse, if you really want to succeed. Your employees must see their General ahead and in front showing how to conquer the land of whatever business you’re involved with!

tVB 36:2 CHURCH WORK TRAINING: CHURCH WORK & TEAM BUILDING LeadersTalk Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose. Luke 6:12-13 NKJV The Lord Jesus is our example in teamTbuilding. This was one of the very first things he did in ministry. You must realize that He had quite a large number of followers, but a time came when he hand­picked disciples. In other words, he raised and built a team. Now, building and maintaining effective church workers' teams is a time consuming and sensitive process particularly in ministry where the pressures of the moment are often intense. Most attempts at ministry team building don't work well, simply because leaders and workers fail to appreciate the effort that has to be invested in time and attention to detail. The truth is, when done well, teamwork contribut...

TVB 124: THE POWER IN YOUR HANDS! Part 2

BUSINESS TRAINING: POTENTIAL is A UNIQUE GIFT that each of us is born with. No one possesses a superior or inferior POTENTIAL compared with others. What we see in life is that certain among us choose to make such positive use of their innate POTENTIAL and achieve results that lift them to higher social and better financial pedestals than others. Many prefer to blame their current status on negative circumstances, harsh economic environment, the irresponsible actions and inactions of 'those-who-should-know'. However, truth is, each of us has already been packaged with more than enough to stand out very specially in life. The Lord Jesus encouraged us all in Matthew 5:45, "...For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (NKJV) Your POTENTIAL is already within you. You only need to apply it NOW to achieve your Business Start dreams! Let your Business POTENTIAL flow out from within you. You can be all...

CHURCH WORK TRAINING: LESSONS FROM A BETRAYER

CHURCH WORK TRAINING: LESSONS FROM A BETRAYER   “And he went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. Then He appointed twelve... and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.” Mark 3: 13-19. To be called by god is a privilege, to be anointed an advantage, but to be found faithful is a strict prerequisite. The prerogative to choose and anoint is solely God’s, but the choice of faithfulness is totally yours. Scriptures show us that after prayer, Jesus called and ordained twelve apostles including Judas Iscariot. Indeed this name brings displeasure to many within and outside Christendom and this is perfectly understandable. He betrayed Jesus Christ. But before you throw your stone, please step back a bit. I believe that there a few lessons we can glean from this character and his time on Jesus’ crew. If you concur that God chooses in line with His purposes and plans for us, then Judas’ calling was no diff...
