LEADERS & READERS

All Meeting In One Individual

Knowledge is good especially when it is organized into definite plans of action and applied towards some worthy and profitable end. If we all develop in-depth knowledge through reading, it will enable us to give our best to others and help to make a better world. In depth learning will be a benefit both to us and the world around us. If we make every effort to increase our knowledge in order to use it for human good, the world will be a different place altogether. Only God limits how far we can go. When books are opened we discover we have wings.

A leader who is not a reader and a learner hinders his own growth as well as of his subjects. His responsibilities are many and his leadership requires both knowledge and information. He is required to point out the goals to be achieved and identify the strategies and steps by which they will be achieved. A good leader leads by example. He reads and people read from his leadership. He gathers all the necessary information to prepare him for his work so that he can offer focused and quality leadership through in depth learning and thorough research.

He is able to develop himself both intellectually, socially, spiritually and psychologically. His orderliness and effectiveness, his integrity and character, even as he operates on a high moral plane, meet the expectation of his subject. He seeks to touch the heart of his subjects meeting the needs of each one of them. He stays informed and updated and always know the situation developing around his jurisdiction.

He is always a step ahead, formulating a way to react to the circumstances that his leadership faces, without loosing any of his subjects. All this necessitate his need for knowledge which comes through reading. Reading does not necessarily means books; it includes learning from others, from past failures, a willingness to listen to counsel and having a teachable spirit.

A leader receives information from any available sources, distills any useful bits and applies it to the prejudice of his adversity. Every man who knows how read has it in his own power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways, in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting.

“The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man, nothing else that he build ever lasts, but in the world of books are volumes that live on still as young and fresh as the day they were written, still telling men’s hearts of the hearts of men centuries dead” (CLARENE DAY)

Leaders, arise up and read to your wings.
