the first question, do you have a mentor who can guide you through the minefields? this is very important. our mentor already has experience of what goes on at that level you get into management by technical competence, you stay and advance by emotional intelligence. 1+1 is no longer 1, or at least you can't always tell your superiors that outright. you already understand the company philosophy/management style - you must decide if rocking the boat when there are issues is counter productive Good luck 1 Like |

You certainly can't avoid office politics and it can get very ugly for you if you don't play well or u play it with sympathy. I overcame mine by simply holding a leverage against each and everyone of of my colleagues. Don't underestimate the power of blackmail, for Instance we did some stealing and shared the loot and now I'm holding that against everyone of them that I will expose them. They were like "well we will all go down together" I said yes we will but I'm not the one living in a free company house and enjoying 24hours electrity. They just kept mute. 1 Like |

Jgoldie:Same way you handle Nigerian politics. You are with the wining party, your main concern is that there are more qualified candidates but your "godfather(s)" appeased your village people and now you are "there"! So therefore ........just remember that PDP ran the show for a long time before APC took over. Let me not analyse further but always have a plan B should they zone the position to the "south" much later....enjoy your new position and yes, when next I come to Lagos we gonna pop some bottles. Even if na bottle water/ pepsi You guys do YouTube stuff? Ikeja?? |

J111333: no sir... It is & can be learnt. I've several books on leadership in my shelve, & also studied Biz Admin. in uni. To your second paragraph, leadership style should depend on each situation a leader finds himself. You can't be nice n friendly when critical decisions involving others are to be made. That'll call for an autocratic leadership style. Etc |
