Editor’s Note

Good leaders are able to asses a situation and foreshadow its future. They take what is in front of them and create a blueprint that will enable them to stay relevant. All organizations and institutions have a leader; whether it is home, school, work one person has to set the dominant agenda for the group’s survival. Are you up to the task? All leaders must consider the following:

1. Time It maximizes production and minimizes stress. 2. People They use people’s talent effectively under proper supervision 3. Money use as a tool not as a weapon bills have to be paid and goals can be accomplished 4. Pronoun This is the difference between manger and leaders. There is no I in we; remember to use we, us and ours. 5. Meetings Make sure it has a purpose and agenda or else there will be no incentive to attend the future ones. 6. Networking This strengthens the organizations ecosystem. You learn from others, for no one is an island. 7. Vision Tie the past position to the future. You can mark accomplishment based on how far you have come to where you are going. Janice K. Maxwell – editor
