Strategic Positioning

Description

This book is published at a time when in spite of the unprecedented increase in the number of tertiary institutions all over Africa, there continues to be a wide gap between academia and industry. Africa is still lagging behind the rest of the world in information and communication technology, although some of the brightest brains in science and technology have their roots in Africa. We have witnessed the sad impact the media have had on our future leaders in their thinking patterns and their way of self-packaging in recent times.

However, if the truth be told, success in any field can happen to anybody and that success is not something that randomly happens to you; it is something you make happen for you.
Anytime you purchase a computer or an electronic device, there is a manual that comes with it teaching you how to operate it. What is missing in our society, in my view, are instructional manuals to guide young graduates on how to make choices about success and, if you like, failure.

For well over sixteen years I have worked with both the young and the old, and I have come to the conclusion that life will be a lot easier for our young people if they have manuals to instruct them on the impacts of the choices they make even as young individuals, realizing that, as Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Let him learn a prudence of a higher strain. Let him learn that everything in nature, even dust and feathers, go by law and not by luck. And that what he sows, he reaps”.

I have always shared and believed in the notion that Africa can reach its fullest potential in this millennium when we create opportunities that enable the individual to exercise personal initiative, self-reliance, individual responsibility, courage, perseverance and personal excellence.
However, these virtues are not ordinary human qualities that just develop in us because of our genetic inheritance. Rather, they are taught and learned based on systems created and adhered to in all civilized societies.

I wrote this book to help all young graduates world over, to identify the factors that will not only help them get their dream career but will also make them both successful and fulfilled.
Each chapter in this book features the same curriculum I have been using to coach thousands in my seminars and coaching programmes for many years.
Following the feedback and evaluations I have received from my participants all over the world, I have upgraded and fine-tuned the content of the individual programmes for your pleasurable reading.
What you have in your hands right now is a complete system as well as strategy that will help you to manage and monitor yourself more effectively to lead a meaningful life as an exceptional graduate.
These are principles that will help you come on top.

It is a book for those who want to develop all their potentials.
The law is very simple; if you want to lead an extraordinary life, find out what the ordinary people do and avoid them.
Listen, I wrote this book for you because I want you to be a world-class human being, someone who is truly exceptional in his or her thinking; someone who shocks the world with personal virtues and approach to life.
I am ready and if you think you are also ready, then let’s begin the journey.
