There is no bible or age rule-book that guides you to be a good boss. Management positions can be delegated by the number of years you have spent in a place or the kind of work you have contributed to an organisation. But a good boss is recognized by certain qualities. These qualities don’t just make him a stand up guy but a source of inspiration and aspiration to his subordinates. Below are my top 5 qualities that make a perfect boss. Listen A good boss listens to what his team has to say because great ideas, insights and perspectives don’t just come from one place but from anywhere. Therefore, he is open to the contributions of other people. Most of the contributions given by his team might not be fully formed yet and that is where his years of experience or expertise comes in to play. To fine-tune these ideas and eventually make them better. Better still, make contributions to ideas raised than will encourage a good outcome. Delegate wisely The key to leadership success is to...

This contribution answers the many questions that have always appeared as search terms on this blog for a long time. Unfortunately, I’m not equipped to answer those questions about the names of birds, animals, rodents … Such questions started appearing since the posting of What’s in a name? – A look at Yoruba’s views of some birds’ names by Deleola Daramola in June 2013. The article, a very popular one, had a mere 431 total views during the seven months of that year but would subsequently attract 1,640 views (2014); 2,868 views (2015); 2,822 views (2016) and in 2017 to date, there have been 1,872 views – a grand total of 9,633 views. There have been questions about “Yoruba name for igun”; “… hoopo bird called in Yoruba”; “… aluko and agbe birds in Yoruba culture”; “the English name of eye akalamagbo”; “What is the English of eye kowe”, and many others. At the end of the list, there are a couple of references, and more can be found through Google. PLEASE NOTE: Spellings often dif...

I was opportune to partake in an online discussion in one forum last night and the whole discussion was on educating graduates on how to excel in any form of interview and i thought of not be being slefish. So i decided to share with nairalanders because i don't know who else might need this apart from myself. Useful interview tips In most of the interviews you find yourself. It is an opportunity to sell your skills and be accepted by prospective employers. The following will help: 1.

Listen to the questions and you may write down the questions in sequence to help you deal with all. Clarity the question if not clear and don’t interrupt 4. Don’t talk too much or too ...

Are you an entrepreneur or investor looking for where to invest your money to get good returns? do you want to know where to find fast growing business ideas in Nigeria. Initially Nigerians weren’t serious about tapping into business opportunities and left all businesses to foreigners. Even Nigerians abroad who has stayed over 10 years and made a lot of money are scared of coming too invest in Nigeria, rather than taking the currency advantage between the naira and dollar, euro or pounds they rather stay abroad because they fear the uncertainty of doing business in Nigeria. Thankfully Nigerians have woken up,many people are coming up with intelligent business ideas and setting up lucrative business.This is not unconnected to the fact that the federal government have in recent years encouraged and rigorously supported the establishment of small and medium sized businesses as a strategy for stimulating Nigeria’s economic growth. So the question remains, what are some small sized bu...

By Uchechi Moses Recently, I was asked the question which I believe needs answers. Well, inasmuch as I revere and espouse academic achievement, it is important to the make the most of opportunities to chase after extra-curricular activities. This further enriches your CV and makes you come across as an all-round individual. Getting involved in societies (not secret), part time work and clubs enables you to meet new persons, and ensures a balanced life in school. In addition, it will groom you to be a better candidate for entry level positions. This is by offering you real life examples you can use in job applications where you can exhibit the skills learnt in psychometric analysis, assessment centres, case studies and interviews. There are three ways to go about extra-curricular activities. 1. SOCIETIES: This cuts across social clubs, religious groups and sports’ teams. Everything from arts, general interest, specialised groups, politics, cultural and religious clubs are covered...

It’s no longer a new addiction that men will do a lot to please women they are interested in. Most men act childish when they are really in love and this has cost them a great deal. It is not bad to please a woman but over doing it makes one stupid. As a man, you must be smart enough to read in between the lines to know what’s favorable and what’s not. We are not saying you shouldn’t be romantic, it is a good thing to be romantic but not to the detriment of yourself and you should know that, just because something might be done in the name of love does not make it the right thing to do and these are the few you should try as much as possible to avoid or never be tempted to do for a woman, regardless. 1. Steal For Her Obviously, we all know where this will end you and by the time you will be back, someone might have taken your place. Never allow anything to push you to steal in order to please your woman because if she later finds out you actually stole a gift for her, she might ...

Whenever Matthew Dunn goes to a restaurant he requests a corner table with his back to the wall. This habit is a legacy of nearly six years spent as an MI6 agent in the mid-1990s, taking part in undercover missions across the world. Dunn was a field operative in countries where, if captured, his life would have been in danger. After completing 70 missions he decided to draw a curtain on his espionage days, and has since forged a successful career as the author of the Spycatcher novels. So how do you take a first step toward what is surely one of the most unusual jobs in the world? "In my day I was approached at university by a talent spotter," he says. "Back then MI6 had a whole network of talent spotters spread across the whole country, predominately but not exclusively in universities. Essentially, that was pretty much the only way to get in, i.e. they approached you, not the other way round," he adds. The skills (hic) to pay the bills Intel...

Olori Swank never intended to go into fashion -- not initially at least. As a child, her burning ambition was to be a neurosurgeon. "From the age of two, I used to tell everybody, 'I'm going to be a doctor,'" she recalls. "Somewhere along the way, after (college) graduation, I derailed from that." Most likely, it was a savvy career move. Today, Swank has a roster of celebrity clients including comedian-cum-rapper-cum-actor Donald Glover (aka, Childish Gambino). "He's the client I'm most excited about right now... (because) he's like having four clients in one," Swank crows. "He's doing all these different fields of entertainment, and he's killing it all. I can dress him for a concert today and tomorrow be dressing him for Conan." The fashion equation "I approach styling the same way I used to approach a math problem or science experiment," Swank says. She studies her clients' fe...

There Are 7 Types of English Surnames — Which One Is Yours? [Photo credit: Shutterstock] Many of us have surnames passed down to us from ancestors in England . Last names weren’t widely used until after the Norman conquest in 1066, but as the country’s population grew, people found it necessary to be more specific when they were talking about somebody else. Thus arose descriptions like Thomas the Baker, Norman son of Richard, Henry the Whitehead, Elizabeth of the Field, and Joan of York that, ultimately, led to many of our current surnames. There are perhaps 45,000 different English surnames , but most had their origins as one of these seven types. Occupational Occupational names identified people based on their job or position in society. Calling a man “Thomas Carpenter” indicated that he worked with wood for a living, while someone named Knight bore a sword. Other occupational names include Archer, Baker, Brewer, Butcher, Carter, Clark, Cooper, Cook, ...

Dear Ladies, read on and thank me later…. 1) Life is a steep, uphill battle but it’s fierce and it’s beautiful and you’ll be sad to see it go if you live it right. 2) New people won’t stop coming into your life and opportunities won’t stop knocking on the door but you need to have the space for them. In all you currently have — be they relationships or obligations — step back and ask yourself “why.” If you can find the answer, hold tighter. If the answer escapes you, it’s time to let something go. 3) You should resolve to be awesome for the rest of your life. Right now. Do it. 4) Leggings, no matter how much we wish, will never one day magically transform into pants. Wearing them with tops that don’t cover your bum is not cute. Please, please, please stock up on pants. 5) Goals are not a January 1st kind of thing. Set them weekly. Set them monthly. Set them so that you are moving forward and always trying to progress. Life can grow stagnant without them… beware...

A Woman Who Smiles (more powerful than you might realize) A woman who smiles makes it easier for a man to approach her by conveying an attitude of confidence, warmth and playfulness. Since many women are fearful of giving men the wrong impression, they frequently guard their smiles. If the only knew that smiling is one of the things men can’t resist. While this approach is safer, it inadvertently sends the wrong message that she is someone who is overly cautious because she has been hurt. In addition, smiling is a sign of acceptance. Men often need some signal that it is safe to approach a woman before they’re willing to risk introducing themselves (unless they are intoxicated). A Woman Who Listens (instead of dominating the conversation) Women are generally perceived as rarely really listening to men, at least not beyond a few minutes. Most of the time, a few minutes is all men really need. But since most men hate to be rejected, it is easier for them to keep...
