Passing on Vital Information


Every leader needs vital information to make correct decisions.
People who withhold vital information are sabotaging your ability to manage. Successful groups work as a team and there’s a free flow of vital information. This allows management to do a good job and the team to function in harmony.
Imagine your right leg not knowing what your left leg was doing? It would be pretty hard to walk.
Communication of vital information makes an effective and united team.
Interested in their work & the Organisation
Interest is an interesting thing. It’s not physical but you can see it. It means: Wanting to know or learn about something or someone; the quality of holding the attention.
When people are absorbed in their phones or Facebook — that’s interest.
You want the same level of interest in their job, the people around them, and the challenges to be overcome.
Disinterested people are horrible to be around, remember the last time you were trying to get something done and people didn’t care?
It takes a high level of interest in people and works to succeed.
Keeping Promises & Following Through
Let’s face it — real results, real project completion — require follow through.
Anything worthwhile takes effort and persistence, otherwise, everyone would do it! Follow through is needed in every role from the top of the organisation to the very bottom.
You need teammates you can trust, to move with certainty and speed. It’s hard to go full speed ahead if no one’s got your back!
People who keep their promises and follow through are more valuable.
A fit for their role & the Organisation
No matter how valuable the person, they have to be a fit for your organisation, your culture.
Same goes for the role. A creative chef is not a fit for an accounting role unless you want to cook the books!
A grumpy, but high performing salesperson may not fit a young, groovy start-up.
Business is more fun & productive with people who are a fit.

Networking tips that will boost your career!

People are always saying 'use your connections', but how do you do this without seeming desperate or bothersome? Here’s some sound advice to get you started. Tell them your story People always remember a good story, share details of your background, give insight and funny anecdotes about who you are and your experiences. When you make people smile or empathise they are more likely to remember you and leave a lasting impression. Next time you meet they’ll recall the guy with that funny story rather than the one who spoke only about what kind of job he wanted. Be clear, to the point and very specific Don’t be vague, don’t try and keep your options open by not being clear about what you want. So when someone with connections asks what you’re looking for – be ready with a confident answer “ I am looking for a Senior Finance role within the oil and gas industry”. When that opportunity arises your connections will immediately think of you. Be that someone they want to talk...

Female Youth Corper Sent Tongues Wagging As She Steps Out In A Porsche Car For Clearance In Abuja

A yet t be identified female graduate observing her National Youth Service Corp programme in Abuja caused a stir when she came in a vehicle worth over N20 million. A Twitter user shared these photos of a female NYSC member who came for her clearance in a Porsche Cayman car in Abuja yesterday. He wrote;  “Somebody came with this to come and do the same NYSC Biometrics! I am going back to Yola! Abuja, thank you! I now have exposure! ” The starting price of the exotic car is N20.5 million and it goes way higher than that depending on the year it was made. The identity of the young lady remains unknown but there are rumours that she is from an elite family. This further buttresses the point made by people that serving in Abuja is very intimidating as one would have to contend colleagues who are from very wealthy families or have spent most of their lives studying and living abroad.

How to Get a Good Reference

A request for your references is often the last hurdle before your job offer comes through. If the company is hesitating or deciding between you and another candidate, then a great reference is crucial in gaining that advantage. It is essential that you carefully consider who you will ask and that your referee fully understands the type of role you are applying for and the type of skills and experience that the job requires. Who should you ask? Try to find a balance between asking someone who appears quite senior and therefore more credible, with someone who has detailed knowledge of your capabilities. This may be a university professor, former boss, past supervisor. Approaching people who did not work closely with you could be pointless if they are unable to provide real insight into your career history. If someone appears reluctant to provide a reference, don’t try too hard to persuade them. Most likely they either are unwilling to provide a favourable reference or feel unable ...
