THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP

Image
  Liberating the Leader in Each of Us by Myles Munroe is an insightful book that explores the qualities and mindset required for true leadership. Munroe emphasizes that leadership goes beyond mere authority or position; it is a deep-seated purpose and responsibility that inspires others. Here are eight key points to consider in reviewing this book: 1. Leadership as a Calling and Responsibility: Munroe presents leadership as a purpose-driven calling rather than a role based on hierarchy or power. He explains that true leaders are guided by a sense of responsibility and service rather than self-interest, which creates a foundation for sustainable leadership. 2.

Google People, in 6 months, the largest B2C ecommerce company in Nigeria will be Temu if they use the same playbook they used in the United States. Enyimba FC, please reach out for a jersey deal since Temu advertises with no breaks. With Temu around, the B2C ecommerce 2.0 era is now born in Nigeria. Now Jumia, Jiji and Konga will have to upgrade their playbooks.

Yet, the direct from manufacturer model which Temu runs may not work out easily due to logistical challenges in Nigeria. But it can decide to invest in local delivery companies to ...

MANAGEMENT BY PETER F DRUCKER

Image
  Peter Drucker's Management is a seminal work that explores the essential principles and practices of management. First published in 1973, the book has had a profound influence on the field of management and continues to be relevant today. Drucker, often referred to as the "father of modern management," emphasizes that management is a crucial function that goes beyond leadership and strategic planning, influencing everything from individual performance to organizational success. 1. Clear Definition of Management One of the key strengths of the book is Drucker’s clear definition of management as a discipline. He argues that management is not simply about overseeing people or tasks, but about setting objectives, organizing resources, and ensuring that actions align with the long-term goals of the organization. This foundational understanding shifts the view of management from a set of ad hoc practices to a formal, systematic function. 2. Focus on Effectiveness Over Efficie...
