LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Leadership is one major factor that determines the growth and development of any nation, society, establishment, or any kind of set up with two persons or many people. When there is failure in leadership, there is bound to be failure in the set up. On the other hand, when there is remarkable leadership success, the set up grows and succeeds remarkably.
A leader is
someone who has one person working with him or for him; or many people working
with him or for him as subjects. You do not have to be a business owner or a
political office holder for you to be called a leader. By and large any person
existing in this world is a leader somehow and somewhere and we therefore need
to understand the characteristics required to be a successful leader. So many businesses
have failed as a result of poor leadership and management skills .Many homes
have failed today because of poor leadership charisma; this in turn has
affected the larger society, the nation and the world at large with innumerable
crisis bedeviling nations. When a nation is hit with a crisis, other nations
could be affected in a cascade of events; these crises could have been
prevented with good leadership. A leader that destroys his people is a bad
leader. A leader is supposed to bring a people together and not destroy them. To
become a good leader, you have got to be visionary, purposefully ensuring your
followers or subjects understand your vision and aligning them to your vision
with a view to making it a reality. A leader without a vision is bound to
experience difficulty and failure. As a leader, you have got to be visionary,
having clear and precise goals of what you want to achieve.
There are so
many characteristics that could ensure successful leadership in any setting,
these characteristics will make up the series of posts on this major topic
tagged, “leadership development.” Today, I will be writing on some characteristics that make a good and successful leader. From the next post, tens of
quotes by all-time icons on leadership will be coming your way in a three posts
series.
CHARACTERISTICS THAT MAKE
GOOD AND EFFECTIVE LEADERS
- A LEADER SHOULD HAVE A CLEAR VISION AND ALWAYS COMMUNICATE HIS VISION TO THE SUBJECTS AND COLLEAGUES
Any leader who does not look
beyond status quo or the present is not a good leader. An effective leader is
someone who looks to better the past and the present with a view to achieving
new breakthroughs and setting new records or standards for the good of the
subjects and every other person involved in the setting. A leader should be
able to communicate his vision to his colleagues and subjects so as to direct
their duties towards achieving results individually and collectively. The only
way a vision can be translated to reality is by getting everyone involved,
communicating them, motivating them towards the dreams and goals.
One great problem with so
many leaders is that they lack direction; they don’t even communicate their
vision properly to their subjects. This is like working blindly without precise
steps towards achieving results. A leader without a vision will lead his
subjects to utter confusion; failure is always the case with such people. Be
visionary today and learn to communicate your vision to your subjects clearly
and precisely!
- A LEADER MUST LEARN TO BE MORALLY UPRIGHT
This is another vital
characteristic so many leaders take for granted. There is this popular adage
that is quoted thus:” When the head is rotten, the body suffers.” This is true
when it comes to moral uprightness. A good leader must be very ethical and
learn to show such attributes to his subjects and colleagues always. By that he
is teaching them the way to attain greater heights, he is showing to them that
he is of a strong moral base and that philosophy will voluntarily or
involuntarily permeate the people he works with. Discipline will be instilled,
absolute commitment and zealousness will follow, positive results will unfold
distractions hardly surface in such a setting with morally upright leader. Which characteristics do you show to your subjects that is worth emulating?
Guests, we are not done
with the series as this is the introductory post. See you again in few days as
I unveil more characteristics that make a good and effective leader in any
setting.

THOMAS JEFFERSON’S QUOTES
 |
| Thomas Jefferson |
If
nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive
property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter
to Isaac McPherson
Ignorance
is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes
nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Notes
on the State of Virginia
Knowledge
indeed is a desirable, a lovely possession, but I do not scruple to say that
health is more so. It is of little consequence to store the mind with science
if the body be permitted to become debilitated. If the body be feeble, the mind
will not be strong.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Journal
We
hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Declaration
of Independence
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to
which the laws of nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to
the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the separation.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Declaration of Independence
The natural course of the human mind is certainly from credulity
to skepticism.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to Dr. Caspar Wistar
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The
strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is,
as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Jefferson Papers, Proposed Virginia
Constitution
Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence and
deem them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to Samuel Kercheval
His mind must be strong indeed, if, rising above juvenile
credulity, it can maintain a wise infidelity against the authority of his
instructors, and the bewitching delusions of their theories.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to Dr. Casper Wistar
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the
past.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the
people alone. The people themselves therefore are its only safe depositories.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Notes on the State of Virginia
When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as
public property.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president, 1807.
A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always
valuable.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to John Adams
Man is fed with fables through life, and leaves it in the belief
he knows something of what has been passing, when in truth he has known nothing
but what has passed under his own eye.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to Thomas Cooper
A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against
every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government
should refuse to rest on inference.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to James Madison
Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human
contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to John Adams
Blest is that nation whose silent course of happiness furnishes
nothing for history to say.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to Diodati
Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations,
entangling alliances with none.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Inaugural address, Washington, D.C.
A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to James Madison
The patient, treated on the fashionable theory, sometimes gets
well in spite of the medicine. The medicine therefore restored him, and the
young doctor receives new courage to proceed in his bold experiments on the
lives of his fellow creatures.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Letter to Dr. Caspar Wistar
A more virtuous man, I believe, does not exist, nor one who is
more enthusiastically devoted to better the condition of mankind.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Referring to Tsar Alexander I.
Letter to William Duane
I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; and
that his justice cannot sleep forever...an exchange of situation is among
possible events; that it may become probable by supernatural interference.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Referring to slavery in the United States.
Notes on the State of Virginia
The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual
exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the
one part, and degrading submissions on the other.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Notes on the State of Virginia
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to
which the laws of nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to
the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the separation.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
U.S. president.
Declaration of Independence

LANDMARK DISCOVERY
INVENTION OF THE ELEVATOR
Although hoists and primitive elevators operated by human and animal power or by water wheels were in use as early as the 3rd century bc, the modern power elevator is largely a product of the 19th century. Most elevators of the 19th century were powered by steam engines, either directly or through some form of hydraulic drive.
In the early 19th century, hydraulic plunger elevators were used in some European factories. In this type of elevator, later used to some extent in the United States and more extensively elsewhere, the car is mounted on a hollow steel plunger that drops into a cylinder sunk into the ground. Water or some other fluid forced into the cylinder under pressure raises the plunger and car, which fall by gravity when the fluid is released. In early installations the main valve controlling the flow of liquid was operated by hand by means of ropes running vertically through the car; lever control and pilot valves regulating acceleration and deceleration were later improvements.
A forerunner of the modern traction elevator was in use in Britain in 1835. In this case the hoisting rope passed over a belt-driven sheave, or pulley, to a counterweight traveling in guides. The downward pull of the two weights held the rope tight against its sheave, creating sufficient adhesive friction, or traction, between the two so that the turning sheave pulled the rope along.
Elisha
Otis (1811-1861), American inventor and manufacturer, was a pioneer in the
construction and manufacture of steam-powered elevators and elevator devices.
In 1854, at an exposition in New York City, he demonstrated his most important
invention, an automatic safety device for stopping an elevator should the
supporting cables break. In 1857 he designed and installed the first passenger
elevators in the U.S.; this achievement heralded the age of the skyscraper.
Shortly before his death he patented a steam-driven elevator, the basis of the
Otis Elevator Company.
