Angelus' Quote: Leaders, Teach Others Only When You Really Know the Topic

Teach Others Only When You Really Know the Topic.

I'm a self-taught writer, reader, and leader, so it was easy to pass on this knowledge to those who I lead (by 'self-taught' I mean with no formal education). Subjects like creativity, critical thinking, Bible Study, theology, leadership and biographies of famous Christians and world leaders are among subjects that I'm quite confident in. I can learn quickly and teach if I have opportunities to do so.

In the past, however, I'd try to teach my students in other areas, like technology, politics, business, entrepreneurship, and fashions. This is hypocrisy! I'm not good or never done any significant things in these areas. All are theories to me. I should've let those who are experienced in those subjects to teach them instead of me.

As leaders, we should only teach others when we really know the topic and walk-the-talk 😉💪💡

It's So Worthy to GROW As a Leader

Being a good leader is so much harder than it looks. What's difficult about leadership is that nobody ever sits you down and "teaches" you what being a real leader is all about. There's no class in early education that defines leadership. Friends and colleagues at the office tend to label leaders as "overachievers" (and not in a good way). In college, leadership is reduced to who is going to talk the most during a presentation.

It's hard and often misunderstood... and that's why it's so worthy to GROW as a leader. 💪😉😇 There are people who don't want you to grow, reduce you to their limited thinking. Not you... GROW!

Angelus' Quote: Leadership Is Doing the Right Things

It takes time to collect information, and there's a sense in leadership that you need to move quickly. As leaders, we are paid (or expect) to respond and act, not to sit back and wait for someone else to solve problems 😊

Yet I made the mistake of acting before analyzing. In a few cases, I judged the situation prematurely, I didn't take time to listen, and I'm lack of patience to wait (young blood) 😅

As a leader, you and I must get as much data and information as possible before taking actions. Of course, you don't have to wait until you get 100% of the data, but get enough to be sure that you're taking as many considerations and alternatives. Always make the effort to analyze before taking actions 😉 Do the right things.

Angelus' Quote: Superior Leaders Are Willing to Admit A Mistake

Not admitting my mistakes came from a sense of superiority and pride. I thought I'm the leader so I must be right. I now understand leadership differently. It's a servant role (or as Robert Greenleaf puts it - servant-leadership).

And like anyone in organizations or committees, you are never going to have all of the answers. Revealing you are human is helpful; good leaders go and find the answers the team needs. But first, if he or she don't know, admit it... Then find the answers ☺

Angelus' Quote: The X-factor of Great Leadership

Humility matters in leadership. Jim Collins, author of Good to Great (I recommend this book), says, “the X-factor of great leadership is not personality; it is humility.”

It took many years for me to realize how by simply saying "I'm sorry" can help me as a leader. For years, I thought leadership meant insulating myself from my students and hiding any weaknesses. If I made a mistake, I'd pretend it was just a misunderstanding or someone else's fault. No more! If I'm wrong, I'll be quick to say, "I'm sorry." Trust me, if you do this with sincerity and humility, others will respect you more and willing to follow your directions 💪😉😊

Angelus' Quote: Leaders See Opportunities In Every Difficulty

Life will always be full of obstacles, how you choose to deal with them is your decision, your attitude 😊😉😎. Effective leaders approach roadblocks with a high level of positivity and creative problem solving that allows them to overcome situations that others might give up on💪

One quote by Martin Luther King Jr. that also applicable for a leader is this: The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy" ✌
