LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT 3
Hello there, you are welcome to WORDS ON MARBLE 72 featuring a continuation of the leadership development series with quotes by all-time icons on leadership. It has been a very busy period of offline commitments over the last few weeks coupled with lots of online tasks leading to a delay in compiling and posting this very edition in this blog. However, it is good to be here again as we run through more characteristics that make good and successful leadership in any setting. The leadership development series is actually going to be extended to the new year as we go through a series of subtopics that will prepare anyone already leading or looking forward to becoming an effective leader.

| JOSHUA OSAYUWAMEN OSAGIE - HOST BLOGGER |
Hello there, you are welcome to WORDS ON MARBLE 72 featuring a continuation of the leadership development series with quotes by all-time icons on leadership. It has been a very busy period of offline commitments over the last few weeks coupled with lots of online tasks leading to a delay in compiling and posting this very edition in this blog. However, it is good to be here again as we run through more characteristics that make good and successful leadership in any setting. The leadership development series is actually going to be extended to the new year as we go through a series of subtopics that will prepare anyone already leading or looking forward to becoming an effective leader.
So far in the series, we have been able to elucidate the following characteristics that make good and effective leaders;
· A leader should have a clear vision and always communicate his vision to the subjects and colleagues
· A leader must learn to be morally upright.
· A leader should be neutral in relating with people
· A leader should be sociable and caring
· A leader should be inspiring and motivational
· A leader must be a listener and a resolute decision maker
Today, I am ready to emphasize on more characteristics even as we move to other subtopics on leadership development starting with WORDS ON MARBLE 73 coming up in a fortnight (December). Here are the characteristics for this post;
· 1. YOU CAN NOT TAKE AWAY RISK-TAKING FROM LEADERSHIP
· 2. A GOOD LEADER MUST BE UNASSUMING
· 3. A GOOD LEADER SHOULD LEARN TO SHOW A SENSE OF HUMOR AND HAVE SELF CONTROL
· 4. A GOOD LEADER MUST BE COMMITTED AND DEDICATED
1. YOU CAN NOT TAKE AWAY RISK-TAKING FROM LEADERSHIP
To be a good and an effective leader, you must be ready to face challenges, make changes, try new strategies and approaches for purposeful delivery, make amends to status quo and sacrifice the best resources for attainment of goals; these are different ways of taking risks. Theodore Roosevelt, former US president once quoted: “In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” An effective leader is a risk taker. Taking risks brings opportunities for new discoveries and more effective strategies. Failure is a possibility when taking risk, but avoiding risk taking could be more disastrous than failure because failure is only a temporary check point for a new approach to be applied. During risk taking, better understanding is achieved, discoveries are made, best results and approaches are attained. Dare to be a good and an effective risk taker.
- A GOOD LEADER MUST BE SELF CONSCIOUS AND UNASSUMING
There is no perfection when it comes to leadership, this you must bear in mind as a leader. You have got to learn to be unassuming and unobtrusive as a leader by accepting criticism and corrections from others. Dare to accept being evaluated by others with respect to your performance and your growth and personal development would surely be enhanced.
- A GOOD LEADER MUST LEARN TO SHOW A SENSE OF HUMOR AND HAVE SELF CONTROL
An effective leader is a very serious minded individual and does not mix business with pleasure in the wrong time. However, a good leader should learn to at times find humor in anything very serious or in challenging times because being too serious minded could be more detrimental to making discoveries and finding solutions to problems. When putting your subjects or team members to work, find out some laughing time and make them feel accepted to the task, make them feel part and parcel of the team. Being humorous at times brings about more commitment from individual members of the team and creates a sense of togetherness which can bring out the best in everyone. Be that leader who when present, the team members love and want to always see. Be sociable.
Furthermore, in the face of crises, outstanding resistance, challenges or failure, conflicts and provocation, a good leader must learn to be unruffled and very calm, it is a difficult trait but has to be learned over time. Temperament is a factor when handling issues or conflicts; you must be very calm and collected as the conflicts or provocation surface. Learn not to so easily lose your temper, rather be very still and handle situations as such wisely.
- A GOOD LEADER MUST BE COMMITTED AND DEDICATED
At the start of this series, I wrote on being a motivational and an inspiring leader; in addition, commitment and dedication are strong characteristics of a good and an effective leader. Your level of commitment and dedication to the cause will go a long way to giving a clear sense of purpose to your subordinates or team members. As you deal with your team members, you have got to endeavor to communicate to them the cause and purpose of everyone individually and collectively. That is what makes a good and effective leader.
And so Ladies and Gentlemen, see you again in WORDS ON MARBLE 73 coming up this December, just in a fortnight as we commence series of subtopics on leadership development. This is still Leadership 300. Thanks for being here. Its me Joshua saying see you again soon and bye for now.

QUOTES ON LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT 2
Leaders take teams on a journey of continuous improvement, but leaders are also on a journey of ongoing personal and professional development. No one is simply born knowing how to lead.
Dean Tjosvold
U.S. psychologist and author.
Psychology for Leaders (co-written with Mary M. Tjosvold)
The beliefs that mold great organizations frequently grow out of the character, the experience, and the convictions of a single person.
Thomas Watson, Jr. (1914 - 1993)
U.S. business executive.
In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing and the worst thing you can do is nothing. Theodore Roosevelt
The idea of a person as a marionette whose arms and legs start moving whenever you pull the pay string is too simplistic a notion of what motivates people in organizations.
Robert Haas (1942 - )
U.S. business executive.
Harvard Business Review
Pushing a new enterprise past all the barriers to success takes learnable skills...but it also takes a tenacious inner passion bordering on monomania. This combination is what I call leadership.
Kye Anderson
U.S. business executive.
Harvard Business Review
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. John F. Kennedy
It never or rarely happens that a republic or monarchy is well constituted, or its old institutions entirely reformed, unless it is done by only one individual.

Italian historian, statesman, and political philosopher.

Canadian-born British newspaper owner and politician.
Remark made after the fall of Singapore during World War II.
Letter to Winston Churchill
One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself. Leonardo da Vinci.

Chinese writer.
Zizhitongjian
Executives planning for the future must discover how to orchestrate corporate environments that nurture and harmonize subcultures and substrategies.

The Future 500 (co-written with Michael A. Silva)
Leadership is understanding people and involving them to help you do a job. Amiral Arleigh Burke
I have worked with leaders whose style is so totally different to my own that I have found it incomprehensible that they achieve results, but nevertheless they do.
John Harvey-Jones (1924 - 2008)
British business executive and author.
Making It Happen: Reflections on Leadership
I thought the best thing to do was to settle up these little local difficulties, and then turn to the wider vision of the Commonwealth.
Harold Macmillan (1894 - 1986)
British prime minister.
Referring to resignation of ministers on the eve of a Commonwealth tour.
Statement at London Airport
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. John Quincy Adams
Executive compensation should go far toward salving the pricked ego of the leader whose followers speak their minds.
Warren Bennis (1925 - )
U.S. educationalist and writer.
Mary Parker Follett: Prophet of Management, "Thoughts on the Essentials of Leadership" (Pauline Graham (ed.))
Emotional intelligence carries much more weight than IQ in determining who emerges as a leader.
Daniel Goleman
U.S. author.
Working with Emotional Intelligence
If there is a spark of genuis in the leadership function at all, it must lie in this transcending ability...to assemble...a clearly articulated vision of the future that is at once simple, easily understood, clearly desirable, and energizing.
Warren Bennis (1925 - )
U.S. educationalist and writer.
Leaders (co-written with Burt Nanus)
It seems to me the worst thing many CEOs do is announce huge cuts before the fact, thereby upsetting the entire organization so that no one feels secure.

On Becoming a Leader
Leaders must be seen to be up front, up to date, up to their job and up early in the morning.
Marcus Sieff (1913 - 2001)

Leaders must have that sense of trusteeship, that they are only temporarily in charge of the destinies of their people and that their duty is not only to discharge that trust but also to pass it on to equally trustworthy and competent hands.
Kuan Yew Lee (1923 - )
Singaporean statesman.
Straits Times (Singapore), Speech, African Leadership Forum
Leadership, above all, consists of telling the truth, unpalatable though it may be. It is better to go down with the truth on one's lips than to rise high by innuendo and doubletalk.

British labor leader and industrialist.
Speech, Institute of Directors Annual Convention

~~~~ORBIT FEATURE 4>>>> LANDMARK DISCOVERY
DISOVERY AND INVENTION OF THE TORSION BALANCE BY COULOMB.
Another important development was Coulomb’s measurement of the strength and behavior of the electrical force between two charge balls. In 1777 Coulomb invented the torsion balance, a measuring device that was exquisitely sensitive to tiny forces. The force he was after, of course, was electricity.
In the mid-1700s Benjamin Franklin had explained that there are two kinds of electricity, which he named plus (+) and minus (-). Franklin called the amount of electricity on an object electric charge. Coulomb discovered that objects with opposite electric charge (+ and -) attract each other and objects with the same electric charge (+ and +) repel one another. Using his torsion balance, he determined that the force between electrical charges varied inversely as the square of the distance between them. This determination, subsequently known as Coulomb’s law, would play a crucial role in our understanding of the atom.
In a brief period from 1820 to 1870, scientists conducted a series of experiments on what they first believed to be the separate phenomena of electricity and magnetism. These experiments led to an understanding that electricity and magnetism were the same phenomenon, which they called electromagnetism, and that light was a form of electromagnetic energy.
