APPRECIATION by Pastor Taiwo Odukoya Print E-mail

One of the deepest human needs is to be appreciated. According to Mary Kay Ash, “There are two things people want more than sex and money: recognition and appreciation.”

Great leaders are able to inspire the best in their followers by genuinely catering to their need for recognition and appreciation; “Well done, my good and faithful servant….” Jesus describes the master, in His famous parable of the talents, as saying.

But think about it. Nobody understands the need for appreciation like a woman, and no one is more adept at demonstrating it either.

The woman as a leader has an unusual capacity to inspire a sense of worth, encourage diligence, and rouse the team to excellence.


The woman’s keen sense of appreciation positions her to inspire the necessary support every leader needs to achieve collective greatness.


So, let us sharpen our leadership acumen further, by bringing this innate sense of appreciation to bear.
Nigeria has a great future!


 

Women Achiever


Margaret Thatcher was the first female British Prime Minister. The leader of the Conservative Party, she won three consecutive terms of office (the only British PM in the twentieth century to do so), transformed the nation and at the time was the longest serving PM since 1827, governing from 1979 - 90. She was also the most divisive PM of the century, earning both great reverence but also deep hatred from the divided public, particularly for her treatment of trade unions.
Margaret Thatcher was born on October 13th 1925 in Grantham to Alfred Roberts, who was a grocer, lay preacher and local mayor. She developed an early interest in politics and, when studying chemistry at Oxford, became president of the Oxford Conservative Association (the Conservative being one of Britain’s main political parties). She graduated in 1946 and worked for four years as a research chemist, but she studied law when not in work and became a barrister in 1954. In 1951 she married Denis Thatcher, having two twin children by him.
