STRATEGIC IDEAS

STLs think futuristically because they are

farsighted. Whiles others are developing ideas to

solve todays problems, they have moved on totomorrow and are developing ideas for tomorrows

problems - this is called strategic thinking.

The future of any organisation depends on strategic

ideas. These futuristic ideas guarantee future

growth and expansion of organisations.

This is a smart thinking process whereby an idea at

an embryonic stage is protected from hostile

elements known as ideas killers and gradually

exposed to friendly elements known as ideasstimulants.

The mind is the womb from where ideas are

conceived, nurtured and groomed to maturity before

they are given birth to.

Language is a means of conveying ideas, giving

instructions and sharing information. To succeed,

Smart Leaders know that they need to talk smart.

Here are seven ways Smart Leaders talk smart:

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


31/45

i.

They speak timely words:

Proverbs 15:23(NIV)

A man finds joy in giving an apt reply - and how

good is a timely word

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


32/45

A timely word is the right word, spoken by the right

person, at the right time, at the right place, in a

right way to the right person(s). The result is that

the ideas shared are well understood, instructions

are well received and the recipients are well

informed.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


33/45

ii.

They speak words of insight:

Proverbs 5:1(NIV)

My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen well to

my words of insight.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


34/45

These are words spoken based on maturity and

experience. Smart Leaders use words of insight to

provide mentoring to emerging leaders.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


35/45

iii.

They speak pleasant words:

Proverbs 16:24(NIV)

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul

and healing to the bones.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


36/45

Pleasant words are words of encouragement and

acknowledgement. They are also polite words.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


37/45

iv.

They speak reliable words:

Proverbs 22:21(NIV)

Teaching you true and reliable words, so that you

can give sound answers to him who sent you?

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


38/45

Smart Leaders build trust and earn respect through

reliable words. They mean what they say and say

what they mean. They just dont throw their words

about.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


39/45

v.

They speak words of knowledge:

Proverbs 23:12(NIV)

Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to

words of knowledge.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


40/45

These words are based on time-tested information.

Smart Leaders acquire relevant information, which

they use for instruction and coaching.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


41/45

vi.

They speak quiet words:

Ecclesiastes 9:17

The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded

than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


42/45

Smart Leaders know that getting into a shouting

bout with others, never settles issues. They believe

in expressing their views with decorum.

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


43/45

vii.

They speak persuasively:

Proverbs 7:21

With persuasive words she led him astray

T IT I - OFE I

M I N I S T R I E S


44/45

Unfortunately, persuasive words in this scripture

are used in a negative connotation. Of course,

what do you expect, if bad people use persuasive

words, it is done with a wrong motive. However,

smart Leaders use persuasive words to get peopleto understand and accept their points of view

without trying to be imposing.
