(Ebook) TITANIC LEADERSHIP by FRANCIS ABBAH

“Leadership is “titanic” in nature.” – Francis AbbahLeadership is not just a big deal, but a VERY Big deal. This is due to the fact that the actions and inactions of leaders do not only affect them but also affects the very people they lead.Just as trust takes years to be built and just one mistake, poor decision or choice can eradicate the trust that people have with us, the same applies to leadership in the broader sense.Some leaders take years to make dozens of right decisions and to build their entities in the right direction and just one wrong choice, decision or mistake by these same leaders have cost the very entities they were part of and have also cost the lives or livelihoods of the people who were under these leaders.Leadership is “titanic” in nature. What that means is that, leadership is VERY huge. Huge in the sense that it involves a lot of components (decisions, choices, actions, right people etc.) to make it a success. However, one wrong decision, choice or mistake can make the very entities that leaders are part of decline away from their set visions and purposes and even make those very entities extinct.That is why as leaders, we need to be careful and prudent in all that we do and say. Not all decisions, choices or mistakes from leaders do have a wider effect. However, most often, the effects from some of these wrong decisions, choices or mistakes may have little effects in the present moment but the effects may broaden as the years roll by.Truth be told, we will surely make mistakes due to our human nature. However, we will need to quickly learn from them, bounce back and start making the right decisions without repeating those mistakes anymore. It is the ability to quickly learn from their mistakes and bounce back that separates great leaders from average leaders.And great leaders do not just learn from their mistakes but also, from the mistakes of others. That is where wisdom comes into play.Leadership is “titanic” in nature.…
