BY DANIEL OLUKAYODE JACOBS BEng
President Center for Creative Youth International Ministries



OBJECTIVES

2. To expose teachers to a life of personal responsibility.

Introduction

- According to J. C Maxwell, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” The effectiveness of your work will never rise above your ability to lead and influence others.
- Your leadership skills determine the level of your success – and the success of those who work around you.
- Leadership is not an exclusive club for those who were “born with it.”
- This training supplies the leadership principles but you must supply the desire, commitment and faith.
- Leadership is developed, not discovered. Teachers would certainly perform well, if they develop leadership capacities.







Section 1.
Creative ways to motivate others
1. Know where your students’ motivation comes from.
- Teachers must be fully aware of what really motivates them and ensure that it is nurtured.
- What is it that gets them motivated? What inspires them to action? What kind of environment motivates them?

2. Teach Self Discipline.
- Discipline is remembering what you want. – David Campbell.
- The truth is that we don’t “have” self – discipline, we use self – discipline.
- This is putting your body under, in other to get things done cheaply.
- Enlightened teachers get more out of their students because they know that each of their students already has everything it takes to be successful – self – discipline.

3. Tune in before you Turn On.
- Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results. – George S. Patton.
- You can’t motivate a student who can’t hear you.
- If what you’re saying is bouncing off their psychological armour, it makes little difference how good you are at saying it. You are not being heard.
- Your students have to hear you to be moved by you.
- The first rule in any kind of coaching is that the coach has to engage in deep listening.
- Which means that the coach must relate on the context in which the “other” is reasoning – they must ‘tune in’ to where the other is coming from.

4. Avoid Criticizing Upper Management.
- Two things are bad for the heart – running uphill and running down people. – Bernard Gimbel.
- A true leader has the courage to represent upper management, not run it down.
- A true leader never uses the word “they” to refer to senior officials in the school.
- A true leader says “we”.

5. Do the One thing.
- Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. – Peter Drucker
- You can’t motivate others if you are not doing the right things.
- And to keep yourself in a relaxed and centred state, it’s important for you to not be scattered, distracted, or spread thin.

6. Get input from your students.
- I not only use all the brain I have, but all I can borrow. – Woodrow Wilson.
- Good leaders continue to seek creative input from their direct reports.
- The quality of our motivational skill is directly related to the quality of our questions.

7. Accelerate Change
- Every organization must be prepared to abandon everything it does to survive in the future. – Peter Drucker.
- It is important to know the psychological reaction to change in your employees and how it follows a predictable cycle.
- Your employees pass through these four stages in the cycle, and you can learn how to manage this passage:

- The Change Cycle
i. Objection: “This can’t be good.”
ii. Reduced Consciousness: “I really don’t want to deal with this.”
iii. Exploration: “How can I make this change work for me?”
iv. Buy – in: “I have figured out how I can make this work for me and for others.”

- Sometimes the first three stages in the cycle take a long, long time for your people to pass through.
- Productivity and morale can take a dizzying dip as employees resist change.
- It is human nature to resist change. We all do it.

Laws of personal success.

Principles are well defined rules that govern the operation of a particular thing or event. When these principles become universal, they become a law.

1. Law of difference
- Difference decides who pursues your wisdom.
- Difference decides what you pursue.
- Problems are seeds for reward.
- Problem is an opportunity for significance and recognition.
- The problem you sold decides your rewards.
- Discern your difference from others.
- Your success is decided by your difference.

2. The law of the mind.
- If you can succeed in your mind, you can succeed in whatever you do.
- Your mind is more important than every other thing in the world.
- Your mind needs a goal or focus.
- Your mind needs instruction.
- Your mind is given to you to serve you.
- God gave you a mouth to tame your mouth.
- Your mind will always need an example to follow.
- Your mind will always be hungry for knowledge.
- Your mind flourishes with movement, light and sound.
- Your mind is activated with pictures.
- It is important to spice up your mind with self – talk or meditation.
- Read mind washing psalms aloud to yourself. Psalm 119, Psalm 91, Psalm 37, Psalm 27
- The secret of strength is not just determination, but the absorption of scriptural truth.

3. The Law of Recognition.
- Everything you want is around you, but waiting for your recognition.
- All you need is inside you, only waiting for you to recognize it.
- Everything you desire is close to you, waiting for your recognition.
- A mentor is knowledgeable of your weakness as well as your strength.
- God hides something you need in someone

4. The law of two (Relationship)
- Two are necessary for multiplication.
- Satan did not show up in the garden until Eve showed up.
- Hell’s greatest fear is the relationship of a protégé with his mentor.
- There is somebody who sees in you what you do not see.
- The difference in seasons is one man.
- The difference between poverty and prosperity is one man.
- You are only four people away from anyone you desire to meet.
- You are only one person away from your season.

5. The law of place.
- God made places before he made people.
- You do not belong everywhere, you belong somewhere.
- Every seed contains an invisible assignment.
- You do not design assignment, you discover it.
- Your assignment is either to a person or a group of people.
- Your assignment is geographical.
- Honour reveals the place of your assignment.
- There is a place you actually belong.
- Your genius will appear when you are properly rooted in your place.
- When you are where you belong, you do not have formidable rivals.
- When you are where you are suppose to be, divine prosperity waits for you there.
- Provision confirms that you are where you are supposed to be.

6. The Law of Honour.
- Your future is determined by the person you have chosen to honour.
- Listening is the seed for learning.
- Honour is the seed for access.
- Knowledge is the seed for change.
- Adaptation is the proof of honour.
- All blessings come through a chain of authority. Who you honour determines what flows in you.
- If you fail or succeed in life, it is because of a person you have chosen to honour.
- Honour protects, corrects, and submits, yields, willing to change.
- The little good things you do for others is proof of honour.

8. The Law of the seed.
- Words are the seed for feeling.
- What you seed determines what you harvest.
- Forgiveness is the seed for relationship.
- Gratitude is the seed for more.
- What you bring first determines what you sustain.
- Every seed must be wrapped with an expectation.
- Your seed wrapped with an expectation can create your desired harvest.
- Faith decides what you sow while expectation decides what you reap.
- I cannot change your life until I change who you trust.
- You are nobody until someone hates you. Mockery is the seed that enemies sow into you for God to speedily make you.
