are wasting time and try to reduce these.
A good way to do this is to log everything
you do for a week in meticulous detail and
then examine your record to see how you

8. Revising for Examinations
- Have a regular venue for revision
such as the library where you are free
from distractions. You should after a while
become conditioned to starting work
immediately in this location. Plan out a
revision schedule or timetable so you
devote enough time to each subject.

Well done is better than well said.
Benjamin Franklin or to paraphrase this in
modern terms,
"Don't talk the talk, instead walk the
walk". Some people constantly talk
about the things they are going to do
but then keep procrastinating. Take
action if you wish to get results.

WHAT IS A LEADER?
Definition of a Leader
- A leader is "a person who influences a
group of people towards the achievement
of a goal". A mnemonic for this definition
would be 3P's - Person, People and
Purpose.

3P'S
1. PERSON

- Is leadership a position of office or authority? Or, is

leadership an ability in the sense that he is a leader because
he leads? We all may know or hear of people who are in
positions of leadership but who are not providing leadership. A
position of office is no guarantee of leadership but it helps in
the sense that a leadership position usually commands a
listening ear from its people and that is a good starting point
for anyone who desires to be a leader.
-A leader by its meaning is one who goes first and leads by
example, so that others are motivated to follow him. This is a
basic requirement. To be a leader, a person must have a deeprooted commitment to the goal that he will strive to achieve it
even if nobody follows him!

Growing as a Leader
2. PURPOSE
- A requirement for leadership is personal vision
- the ability to visualize your goal as an
accomplished fact; a thing already achieved.
- "The very essence of leadership is that you
have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain
trumpet." - Theodore M. Hesburgh
How do you become a leader with a purpose?
You need guidance (Prov 3:5-6) and you will get it
through meditation on the Word of God.

Growing as a Leader
3. PEOPLE
- To be a leader, one must have followers. To
have followers, one must have their trust. How
do you win their trust? Why would others trust
you? Most important, are you worthy of their
trust?
Why are some individuals more effective than
others at influencing people?
Effectiveness in leadership has been attributed to
(1) persuasion skills, (2) leadership styles and
(3) personal attributes of the leader.
