 Quote: "You can take a mule to the brook for water, but you can't force that mule to drink if it doesn't want to" - Mrs. Adejoke J. Bucknor-Smartt (Nee Bruce).
Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Leaders are responsible for their own growth- be it professional, spiritual, or relational. This responsibility cannot be delegated or assigned to someone else. As a leader, you have to take the initiative for your growth. Kudos to all the organizations that provide growth opportunities for their members. Yet, it is still left to the individual if they will take the opportunity provided by their organization. My grandmother had a saying, "You can take a mule to the brook for water, but you can't force that mule to drink if it doesn't want to." So even when your organization or company has meticulously designed professional learning opportunities, you still have to take the personal responsibility to want to grow. No one can want that personal responsibility for you. You have to want to grow and go for it! Take a listen as Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti discuss 3 points of leadership in personal development.

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Leaders are known to go, go, go till they drop! It doesn't have to be this way. Practicing a lifestyle of continuous rejuvenation is the default reset for the body, mind and spirit. This is something that leaders cannot delegate or have your assistant cover for you. A quote attributed to President Abraham Lincoln paints the picture of what continuous rejuvenation looks like. The quote states, "If you are going to cut down a tree for five minutes, spend three minutes sharpening your axe." Your body, mind and spirit is the "axe" you have been blessed with. Take time to keep them healthy so you can cut down those trees daily. Take a listen to learn the 3 ways you can practice continuous rejuvenation.

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Leadership is indeed a privilege in helping people become better in who they are, in who they are supposed to be and what they do. Armed with vision, leaders have the opportunity to lead the way for the people they care for. These are what good leaders do for the people they lead. They know it is about the people in their care and not about themselves. From ponzi schemes to selfishness, not every leader is out for the betterment of the people they lead.

Quote: "Effective leadership is more of modeling and demonstration and less of talks and intended actions" - Dr. Feyi Obamehinti Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. In a time when the entire world is in dire need of effective leadership in every arena and industry; knowing the traits that make and spur effective leadership is paramount. Let’s look at and think of the words of Theodore Roosevelt to gain insights into the cost of effective leadership. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” At this point you are wondering, what are the traits of effective leadership? Listen to the entire interview to find out the three key traits that all effective leaders have in common.

Quote: “Being the same person no matter where, who, when or what in private and public is the foundation of integrity” – Dr. Feyi Obamehinti Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. It doesn’t matter which side you subscribe to in the thought about whether leaders are made or born. Point in view is that made or born, leaders have a role to play in the development of key traits that help leverage their leadership, influence and legacy. Integrity is one of these key traits. Integrity is this one-ness of a person that shows up the same no matter where. It’s an undivided person. What are the three ways to develop this important character trait of integrity?

However, you still need to make time for exercise, whether it's between conference meetings or at a certain time each day. Here are some things you can do to make traveling while working easier, courtesy of the Wellness Project.
Staying Organized on the Road Building up a routine and staying organized are two of the most helpful things you can do when you're traveling for work. Establish a routine, such as getting up at a certain time and eating meals at particular times during the day, to minimize jet lag, fatigue, disorientation in new locations, and other issues you could run into. With your routine, focus on organization. Always pack your items in the same place, and consider using a filing system to keep your work documents in order. You could even consider taking photographs of your most important documents with your smartphone, so you have them available to you online or offline. You should also add exercise and healthy eating to your routine. Make time for meals at least three times a day, and try to shop for groceries or healthy food whenever you can. If you can't make time for exercise, consider taking the stairs instead of an elevator or jogging between your parked car and a store, for example, to get some extra steps in and burn some calories. Then, when you're done for the day, focus on relaxation. Turn off your devices, get a massage, and relax. Reducing stress is a great way to stay healthy and unwind at the end of the day. Staying Safe as You Travel Staying safe while you travel is a must. If you're going to stay in a hotel, you should choose a reputable brand with good reviews. Avoid staying on the ground level to prevent break-ins, and keep your luggage locked up any time you aren't in your room. When you are in your room, use the deadbolt to make sure others can't come in or push the door open unexpectedly. The Perks of Traveling With Pets Pets, especially dogs, are great for helping you boost your mental and physical health while you're traveling for work. Whether you're a freelancer or solopreneur, your pet can keep you connected and help you meet new people on walks or while you're out and about. When you take your pet with you, you should purchase a few products to keep them safe and sound. Consider purchasing a GPS collar to make sure you can find them if they escape so you have real-time mapping and can track their exact location from your smartphone. Grab some good dog food and toys, plenty of water, and a strong harness to keep them with you, and you'll have a great time with your pet on your trip. Your health has to come first while you travel for work or to attend a conference. It can be a challenge but good organization, stress-reduction techniques, the company of your pet, and dedicating some time to self-care can all make a difference, making you more productive in the long run. Bio: Guest blogger Catherine Workman of Wellness Voyager always wanted to see the world. As soon as she was old enough to travel on her own, she began taking trips to new destinations, far and near. She created Wellness Voyager with some of her travel mates as a place to chronicle her adventures and inspire others to leave their comfort zones and embrace all the world has to offer.

Quote: "Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith" - Hebrews 13:7 Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Mr. Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ms. Margaret Thatcher have left us their legacies of excellent transformational leadership. Mandela transformed an entire continent with his example of reconciliation in Africa. Dr. King transformed a nation with his message of non-violence in the pursuit of changes in the United States. Thatcher transformed the why and how of politics of the United Kingdom. These transformational leaders were consensus builders that understood principles. They were great visionaries that saw things beyond their time. They understood the power of the greater good and value of collaboration. With a new year we can glean from their transformational leadership and legacies. A new year comes with changes, improvements and new horizons. Transformational Leaders: 1. Lead by example: transformational leaders don't just talk the talk. They walk the walk. They live the walk. They live the talk. Living out their values through their authenticity, vulnerability and inspiration their influence draws others to transformation. 2. Lead with an open mind: transformational leaders live life with open minds. They understand the power of the mind and how thoughts influence actions. They see the value everyone brings and allow their curiosity to build consensus for the greater good. 3. Lead by principles: transformational leaders live by principles that build character, impact and movement. They allow their lived principles to guide their lives, decisions and choices. Here is our call to action: Leaders, make 2023 a transformational year with your leadership. Lead by example. Lead with an open mind. And lead by godly principles.

“A true leader influences others spiritually only because the Spirit works in and through him to a greater degree than in those he leads.” – John Oswald Sanders Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Think of these questions that came as a result of this platform-Points of Leadership with Kevin Price: (i) Why do you think we have degenerated so low as humans and Americans dehumanizing each other because of politics? (ii) This heightened caution we have developed about each other in opposing political parties, can we recover from it in this nation? These are great insightful questions for all leaders in every nation and not just here in America. God has these answers. I will attempt to provide some thoughts towards our reflective actionable responses. We know these are times of political unrest- these are dangerous times. People around the world have lost so much due to political persecution. Ask any refugee or asylee from around the world and they will share their stories of bravery and heroism. Like many nations of the world, in the USA, livelihoods are tied to the elephant or donkey connections or opportunities. This should not be the case. We have forgotten that we are the human race and not a party race. We have forgotten that there is a Creator who is in control of all things, including humans. We have forgotten that content of heart and character is the most important thing and not the elephant or donkey affiliations. We cannot overstate the importance and value of content of character, in a time when we are more prone to knowing people based on the elephant or the donkey. If we make this our focal connections, we miss out on getting to know great people for who they are and their purpose in this world. The ingredients of leadership is a call to all leaders to come up higher! We know how critical ingredients are to any good tasting food. In a time of holiday celebrations with so many delicious meals cooked- we know the value of ingredients. The ingredients of leadership is all about serving and leading people to be better and not because of the elephant or the donkey. The ingredients break down the political walls people tend to hide by. It calls leaders higher! It calls leaders to be better! It calls leaders to be emotionally healthy! Ingredients of leadership call us to: (i) Lead with love- a virtue of grace and strength in helping people to be better. Our world is filled with many good definitions of love. However, the Bible has the best definition of love. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 defines love perfectly, “Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. Leaders, let’s take this challenge and lead like this. (ii) Lead with hope- a virtue of empathy and compassion in empowering people to be better. Hope can only be possible when its anchor is bigger or greater than what humans can muster up. That leaves us with a bigger than life Person, that we can put our hope in- Psalm 147:11 says eloquently, “The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.” Leaders, let’s anchor our hope in what cannot be shaken by the things of the world and lead like that. (iii) Lead with joy- a virtue of simplicity and strength. Joy is an inside job and has little to do with the happenings of the outside. If you have ever been around someone grumpy, you know there is a battle going on inside in addition to the external circumstances. The same is true for someone who is joy-filled, you can see the rays of strength on his or her face in addition to the external circumstances. Joy comes from a heart of gratitude. Joy helps to propel us higher. Leaders, let’s lead with joy. Leaders, let’s lead people no matter what camp (elephant or donkey) they may be, with love, hope and joy! These are virtues that have a lasting effect and impact on people.
