How To Develop Leader's

The first thing that should come to your mind as you develop leaders is first, education. Education is the process of acquiring knowledge that will mould your destiny from what you use to be to what you tend to become for your benefit and that of the society. Without education career objective cannot be achieved and without knowledge gained there will be no leader, because leader's are always readers. Looking  at how leadership development can take place, one need to be equipped with the skills needed through education.

How to be a better version of Yourself

The truth is, mos t people like to make their lives difficult. Ask How? By always comparing themselves to others. They spend their energy torturing themselves on how slow they do things compared to somebody else. And, how can we blame them? After all, we live in a corporate era that glorifies high achievers and doesn't tolerate failure. We've been educated this way since we were kids. We wanted to be the ones who finish that Math test first. We wanted to be the most important player on the soccer team. And every time someone was getting better than us... We got worried. Nowadays, we secretly envy that co-worker of ours who always delivers his projects early. Or that manager who's able to master new skills more quickly than we do. We could believe that this inner competition with others would make us better. That it will help us achieve our goals and get further in life. In reality though...i t's a recipe for disaster. People who do that set themselves for unhappin
