ACHIEVE MORE Yesterday’s or Tomorrow’s Customer? Back to our discussion on posterity organizations. One common trait in the leadership is Innovation. They ensure they are always abreast of developments in the market. They keep going a step ahead, outdoing themselves to remain on top of their game. They organize themselves to meet the needs of […]
ACHIEVE MORE “How does a brand survive across the generations?” This was the curious question that drove me last weekend to devouring a book of over 300 pages in one day. It was a publication of the Swatch Group when they marked their 150th anniversary in 2003. I am yet to see an African-founded organization […]
There is an unfortunate cast system into which we all are born: it is the Shape-Up-Or-Ship-Out system. This system makes us see life as a competition. And this has been buttressed by many theories like the theory of natural selection which says that life favours only the fittest. Right from pre-school, the pupils with a […]
The faith-for-prosperity message has been one of the revolutions that ever happened to the Christian faith. Before now, clergy men used to be paupers and ill-treated, to the extent that people considered it suicidal to want to be a pastor. Obviously, the reverse is the case now.

Life is not designed to be lived in isolation. I think this is one of the reasons we all come to this earth in the context of a family. Think about this: Is it not possible for the ALMIGHTY GOD to have created every human being that will ever live all at once? Why did […]
Everything that exists begins with one. This could be a creature, a product or a movement. We now have over 7 billion humans on earth, but it all began with one – Adam. Think of the world’s religions, ideologies, terrorist groups, innovations and inventions – these all began with just one person. But when that […]
“People Are Our Most Valued Asset”. How often do you hear this statement? Trust virtually everywhere you go. Every organization loves to appear to the outside world that they believe in, invest in and take proper care of people within it. But in reality, what they do is the reverse. Let me explain. I once […]
It is all an employers’ world! We now live at a point in human history when the demand for job is far ahead than the market can supply. The governments of many nations are not providing an encouraging environment for their people to venture into businesses. For example, in my home country, there is erratic […]
