One of the basic function of the management team is managing the social impacts and the social responsibilities of the enterprise - Peter Drucker. But to achieve all the essence of the management, the manager must be organized and take care of himself. One of the vital tools by which he can achieve that is by managing his time well.

Here are some nuggets about time management that may be of help: 1) The manager must be adept at managing his time before he can transfer that attribute to his team; 2) He must always ask this question: what is the best use of my time right now; 3) Time must be seen as a non renewable resources which it is; 4) High priority projects must be allocated appropriate time; 5) Reoccurring proje...

Respect.

Respects is the act of giving honour, homage, regard, accolade, esteem etc to somebody. High esteem, regard or honour are usually given to unique individuals for their outstanding qualities. Outstanding qualities can be seen as possessing certain values, character, abilities or power to an unusual proportion in comparison to an individual or a group of people. Usually, the discipline and the price paid in nurturing such unusual capabilities is what people normally honour or regard. For example, such power may be legitimate wealth. All over the ages, across all cultures, we all know that it takes many sacrifices, prices to be paid before legitimate wealth can be built and or sustained. These are the reasons for the prsise(s) given to them. Demanding or yearning for respect from people without deserving it is therefore a recipe for laughter.

Eye Sight Part II

Last time we spoke about mentally nearsightedness. A mentally lonsighted individual only pursue distant goals, and plans only for the future. He pondered on opportunities in distant kingdoms, countries and continents. He wants to start at the top. For example, he wants to become number one citizen of his country, even though there are chances for him to become the city local government area council mayor, he pushes that away. He sees, if at all, surrounding opportunities as local and not worth the effort. He overlooks possibilities that are right before him. He sees far of values while the advantages that lie at his feet go unclaimed. He only see the failure of the of the society or the government around him without asking question of how he may be of help and become a blessing. He never consider the likelihood of finding solution to problems that he daily encounters. He blames others for daily challenges that he faces. If such people finally find a solution to such challenges thereby ...

Eye sight.

There are five senses in a man namely: touch, smell, hearing, taste and sight. Each of these senses are carried out by an organ or group of organs in the body. For the sense of sight, it is predominantly the eyes and the brain which interprets what is seen that are involved. Some problem associated with the sense of sights are often associated with the eyes. Some of these health challenges are terminal or permanent and cannot be corrected while science and technology has provided solution to others which are not terminal. Examples of non-terminal, physical eye weakness are: (1) nearsightedness, (2) longsightedness. A nearsighted person can only see close objects but not far or distant objects while a long sighted individual can only see distant images or objects.  According to Helen Keller, she said: awful and to be pitied is the man who have a good sight but the mind that cannot see. It follows that there are men who can be categorized as nearsighted minds and those categorized as...

Gravity.

When I was a toddler whenever I throw a coin on the floor, I have to physically go to the distant location where it was displaced to pick it up. In contrast to this, whenever I throw the same coin upwards, it comes back to me. I wandered why it was not suspended in space! There must be a law which is a forces that draws it back to me I thought. This wonder or law I grow up to know as the forces of gravity. It works irrespective of your awereness or your status. Man has adapted himself to work with this law, large farmland are irrigated via it, the military fire missile to destroy the enemy with its aid etc. In the same vein, there are other laws that are as predictable as the sun rises in the east and set in the west such as business laws, wealth creation laws, health laws, power or war laws, seduction laws, social and love laws, spiritual laws etc. I observe many things about these laws. First, these laws operate regardless of individual. Any of these laws does not favor a Nigerian mo...
