Some leaders feel that by keeping people in the dark they maintain a measure
of control. This is a leader folly and an organisation’s failure. Secrecy spawns
isolation, not success. Knowledge is power, yes what good leader need is
collective power, and that requires collective knowledge. It is evidence that
the more people know what the goals were, the better they buy in and the
better the results they achieved together. Anytime people sense information is
being withheld from them, it creates distance, they feel like outsider, and as a
result, moral drops along with their performance. Jim Lundy stated `` we the
uninformed, working for the inaccessible, are doing the impossible for the
ungrateful’’
Mushroomfarmlaments `` we feel we are being kept in the dark. Every once in
a while, someone comes around and spreads manure on us. But when our
heads pop up they are chopped off and then canned’’

The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are they buts you use
today (Les Brown).
They are no limits in a person’s life except the ones he/she allows to control
his/her mind. A man will always be a product of his/her dominant thoughts
and beliefs.
In life, we always see situation based on how we see ourselves. Our self-
portrait is the lens through which we see everything.
External limitations cannot be overcome until ones internal limitation of self-
belief, fears, insecurities and inferiority complexes are dealt with.

they want prosper and those who do not struggles``.
Failure are associated to people who live scatterbrains, they jump from one
project to another, easily distracted to finish any project.

great blessing but to others a great cause. Eg spending hours on the phone or
internet on a trivial matters, results in wasting valuable time.
Other social media are another major source of distractions eg Facebook,
twitter, Instagram, whatapp, snap short etc these are great tools in connecting
people but could get your attention off your priorities if not managed
effectively.

people only to love them.
Last word:
Be who you are created to be and do not let anyone or anything stop you. All
depends on you. As you travel to life’s journey, look onto your creator for
direction and advice. Itcomes in different forms; you need to know when He is
speaking to you therefore get closer to HIM. (Charity Anyika)
