ATTAINING EXCELLENCE IN LEADERSHIP

Excellence in leadership must be driven by a desire to improve what is being done in the way it is done. Here I share with you some of the factors that can set in motion the pursuit of excellence, with uncommon dedication to ensure the desire is attained without compromising the ethical principles of God’s word. Therefore to be excellence oriented, you must understand the following if want to see your leadership, work business or ministry moving ahead the standard of your closest competitors:

1. Excellence Requires Standard
There are standard in almost everything done on earth. In various profession, there are standard behaviour and practice. In leadership, anything less than improved service and delivery, will be nothing but inferior because – if standard can not be maintained at all, it must not be lowered than it is. So, always maintain standard – ethical standard; professional standard; godly standard; communication standard; integrity standard; relational standard and so on.
2. Excellence Requires Priority
To pursue and do one thing successfully is far better than engaging in many and yet, unsuccessful in any. Itemize all you need to do and priorities that most important of them, and through discipline make conscious effort to become better on that one thing. Don’t be a jack of all trades and master of none. You might be good in all areas, but at least be the best in one.

3. Excellence Requires Objective
Without aim, aimlessness is inevitable objective is the reason for doing what you do. To achieve excellence, objective – which can be vision, goal etc., must be very clear in order to have both insight and foresight which can always propel you to achieve excellence. When there is no specific objective attach to what you do, the won’t be reason and passion to improve on it.

4. Excellence Requires
Style simply means the particular way something is done. No two people are the same. And the way we all do things are clearly difference. More than anything apart from idea, excellence responds easily to style. When you have or initiate a style, the way you do things will become and attraction and a benchmark for others. Even if all you do is what others are doing already.

5. Excellence Requires Process
Everything in life is a process. To achieve excellence, a deliberate process that can initiate and sustain must be put in place. If process is lacking, there won’t be any continuity that will carry on the passion for excellence. Continuation will encourage evaluation, evaluation will encourage correction and correction will encourage improvement. Without process, being under illusion is inevitable because you will keep thinking that what you have done, or doing presently is the best – whereas, people are living you behind.
