POLITICS

Darling, what will you like us to cook tonight?

One of the people in the house shouted, fried chips. The eldest son said, ground rice.

I added my voice, fried chips. We decided to ask one more person in the house and he said, fried chips.

#Politics Image
The other people that could have made their choices known were sleeping

That was how fried chips became the choice food for the night

My eldest son was angry and I told him that next time you lobby people to your side so that you've more people going with your choice

#Politics
The above story shows you how politics gets into the affairs of everything including the office.

Stop saying I don't get involved in politics else you become like my son whose choice wasn't the main choice at the end of the day.

#Politics
Politics is simply the act of tact and diplomacy of dealing with people in order to advance your cause.

Politics is not evil as many people have made it to look. Politics is like money, it takes the colour of the person handling it.

#Politics
To play politics, you must understand people, understand their language and their individual personality and you align yourself in a diplomatic and tactful manner.

Politics is a game. It is not evil. If you are evil, politics in your hands becomes evil.

#Politics
If you want to avoid politics, then you must avoid people. Learn to relate with people and you have learnt #politics

Caveat: Politics isn't bringing someone down for you to go up. That's evil. Nobody needs to go down for you to go up. The sky is too wide for two birds to collide

STOP COMPARING: STAY ON YOUR LANE!

I had a trip on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on the South Western part of Nigeria some months ago. There was a SUV who was speeding ahead of me. He was a little bit reckless trying to navigate and swerve between vehicles.
Having worked in a company some years back where you are not allowed to travel above 100km/hr, I have made a custom of not exceeding 120km/hr no matter how good the road is.

I watched this SUV till he was out of my sight but I wasn't comparing myself with him.
Rather, I stayed on my lane. Few minutes after, I saw the vehicle at the side of the road with its bonnet opened and I left it behind. Of course, something was wrong with the vehicle and it had to be checked.

This short real life story has its lessons.

DISCIPLINE: ONE OF THE IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER

The world today has a lot of events and activities jostling for our attention and that makes discipline an essential ingredient for our career.

#Thread

Caveat: This picture was taken few years ago.
If we are unable to make a decision for what is important to us as professionals as well as career men and women, we will fall victim of wanting to touch everything and end up not achieving anything.

You need to make a choice for what is most important to you per time.
The marketing professionals have also not helped because every where you turn today, you are being advertised to. Something is beckoning to you to get your attention.

In view of the above, the virtue of discipline has become more important than ever.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL (FOR MEN ONLY)

While growing up, I saw my father describe my mother as having the same features as that of his mum. In other words, he was trying to say all women are the same.

#MarriageManagement
I felt somehow with those words because I felt my mother is different and she shouldn't be compared with my grandmother. Years later, I read the book: Understanding the Purpose and Power of Woman by Myles Munroe and I saw that women are special creatures created delicately by God
After marriage, I could repeat the words of my father that my wife has some peculiarities like my mother.

Coming down to the title: "You are beautiful", women like to be acknowledged no matter how old and no matter how religious.

THE POWER OF DECISIONS

Decisions make a man. You are a product of the decisions you made years ago. We make decisions on a daily basis and the decisions we make today have impact on where we will be tomorrow and in the years to come.

#management #personaldevelopment
Many years ago, you decided to complete your secondary school education and proceeded to the tertiary institution. You could have decided otherwise but you knew that the consequence of not moving forward your education will not be favourable.

#management #personaldevelopment
Every decision made has consequences. Not making a decision is a decision in itself. Being slow in taking decision is also a decision and all these have varying consequences.

BE GRATEFUL FOR THAT WHICH IS WORKING AND BE TRUSTING FOR THAT WHICH IS YET TO WORK

The nature of man is to always see the things that are not working in his life hence the tendency to complain at all times.

#Thread Image
I have watched with interest when friends and proteges reach out to me with complaints on the things that are not working in their Iives and I end up shaking my head.

This is not because there is no empathy but because their focus is less on the good and more on the bad.
Friends, I know things are tough but in the midst of this, I can tell you that there are enough things to thank God for. A while ago, I was speaking with one of my proteges and she told me about certain things that are of concern to her to the point of crying.

HOW TO DEAL WITH COMPETITION
A week ago, a Russian Professor came into TwitterNG conversation on how not to be a businessman. However, I wrote a thread on what a particular businessman is doing to deal with competition which was Cost Leadership. I also mentioned Differentiation.
Although, this particular businessman isn't employing differentiation because he is mostly selling commodities. However, another strategy to ensure you take over the market from your competitors is what I will be discussing today. This will take us into the 7Ps of Marketing.
The 7Ps of marketing was developed by E Jerome McCarthy. It was designed to ensure organizations have a right mix of the elements of marketing in order to satisfy the customers and enable them review their strategies from time to time most especially with consumer changing needs.
