Money 💵 Day Greetings to you my leader.lt is a brand new day as we approach a new month.
Well, it feels great to be alive on Monday and counting. Today is a special day because you are still standing. Thank God, you made it this far. Many wanted to see this day but were not granted access to it. I salute you, my victorious leader. May the blessings for this week locate you and transform your destiny and trajectory.
I am so excited with what l witnessed at the CDTI graduation ceremony on Saturday as l experienced excellence in action. CDTI has indeed come of age. It has been a long walk to glory and victory. Congratulations to 18 years of empowering Basotho with quality Education .Six thousand graduates have been beneficiaries of the visionary leadership of Makatleho Mohale, a firebrand Mosotho woman , who turned her dream into tangible reality. Nobody gave her a chance in 2005. Starting with one chair, one computer and one room, the College now has buildings in 5 towns/locations. That is tenacity. It’s even extraordinary because it was done by a lady in a highly patriarchal society. Life is about movers and shakers. Congratulations to the CDTI class of 2024 .
Today l am here to provoke the leader in you. The fact is that we all started in our fathers’ loins as hidden seeds, we became, zygotes, embryos, and fetuses’ until we showed up on this planet Earth. The point is that we are products of change and therefore we cannot ignore such an important aspect of our lives.
Let’s simplify life and define change as doing something differently from before. Change may come imposed or by intention. Whichever way it shows up , change is a reality that we must incorporate into our daily dynamics. Forced change is not usually the best, I am a firm believer in intentional and well-organized change. It has a great level of success. It is meant to help adapt changes to an existing organization.Change is the lifeblood of things nowadays. It is the new normal.
Can you imagine being married to a church girl for 8 years who is as sober as a judge, then suddenly you get home and you find her smoking like a goods or cargo train? It will shock you to your foundation because it is a culture shock and a change. This is why Change can be a scary thing. I equate it to a surgical operation, most of us resist it until we have nowhere else to run.
The fact that change will alter or affect your status quo means that it is a political matter or activity and has to be operated on the basis of a buy-in. Coercion can give you results in managing change but their impact will be very limited. This is why it is important for leaders to learn to educate their teams about the need for change. A participative approach will ensure true and lasting success. People want to feel the fairness and the inclusivity of change as they become a part of the next big thing in the organization.
Change should never be driven by whims but by solid facts which are based on pragmatic business research fueled by top-notch thinking. Change politics will also be key in pushing the next levels and exceeding established standards. Do not allow change to intimidate you but rather be intimate with it. Allow yourself to align with the future. The future is called change.
May the leader in you rise to conquer. History awaits men and women like you, those who willingly become agents of change. Rise for transformation, my leader. The world awaits your happening. Jesus Christ remains the ultimate leader, in three years he trained twelve men who became global conquerors. They are the reason we have Christianity in this dispensation. Get up, stand up, and set yourself on fire, the world awaits your manifestation. Change is the only way. The next level is reality.
