THE YULETIDE MESSAGE
HOST
Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a very captivating year for me from the month of January to the month of December 2013 right in this blog, ensuring there were always fresh posts every month based on articles and the other features despite my very hectic schedule. I must sincerely appreciate you for the follow ups, requests for fresh posts, updates, suggestions and regular visits to the blog for news at the top right side bar all these while. Blogging without you guests would have been worthless and as a matter of fact the amr audio for the article of the post introduced earlier in the year was another captivating medium of communication to my blackberry and whatspp users. Thanks a million and compliments of the season!  To all my channels of traffic and social networks I say a big thank you. Accept my compliments.
Now it’s back to the business of the day – WORDS ON MARBLE 73, with today’s sub-topic “HANDLING LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES.”


HANDLING LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES

It has been a long while in the leadership development series where we started with a three-post series on characteristics that make good and effective leaders. We are now wrapping up the year 2013 in this post with the understanding that no leadership can be devoid of challenges and that how the challenges are handled or dealt with is what matters.

Challenges come in various ways; they could be attitudinal challenges caused by team members, subordinates, higher management or the overall boss. Challenges could also come as expected or unexpected crisis in form of system failure in one way or the other caused by natural tendencies or human levity. Challenges in any form tend to keep someone on his toe and the best thing to do when you encounter them is to see them as promoters for you to press forward and become a better person. The moment you get discouraged completely as a result of one challenge or the other and consider yourself at a dead end or cul-de-sac, crisis will only continue to increase in a cascade that you can not control and could overwhelm your imagination.

Now, it is pertinent for you to understand that challenges are stepping stones to excellence provided you take them as tools to be turned into opportunities for breaking new grounds regardless of the nature of the challenge. This is not to say some challenges are not so terrible that they could even disorganize an entire setting, but how you handle them is important in breaking new grounds, reorganizing yourself and attaining excellence. One sentence is “never give up.” Another is “reorganize yourself and carry everyone along.” Here are a few very useful tips to handling leadership challenges of various kinds as we consider one of them in this post:

  • As a leader, you have a boss that seems to find fault in any thing you do
Relax, evaluate yourself and the situation. Make necessary positive changes and make it known to your boss on the “whys” of your actions. Try to explain and be calm in your explanation. Make your boss to see reasons with your intention and actions and if possible, notify him or her of your intention and reasons for indispensable actions. When confronted by your boss (a troublesome boss or not), your attitude and manner of approach will determine how good you come out of the confrontation in due course. When you get a response like “all you do always fail,” dare to know exactly where you have faulted and give assurance of avoiding such failures subsequently. Your reply should look like this; “I will always try to give my best to this organisation and to avoid failures. ” That is a winning secret. Do not shout back at a troublesome boss or frown too conspicuously. Be calm and collected, listen and evaluate before you respond positively.

Ladies and Gentlemen, come January, 2014 in my first post of the year, we shall be considering ways of handling challenges having to do with your subordinates, team members and other natural challenges, how to deal with and give replies to headstrong subordinates or team members. Compliments of the season once again, this is wishing you a prosperous 2014. God bless you.
