Developing Your Leadership Capabilities

By Pamela Odukoya, Toastmasters International

My early experience of leadership was uninspiring.  It was very task-focused and short on empathy.  This held me back until I learned more, experienced something different, and began my own leadership journey.

My leadership career has covered seventeen years to date. This includes leading a team of career advisers in both private and public sectors and leading a team of volunteers in a public speaking organization. I view leadership as an opportunity to collaborate with a group of people and motivate them to achieve a common goal. It is not about a position, rank, or title. I adopt the transformational leadership style as my dominant leadership style because it gives me the opportunity to inspire and develop others whilst building productive relationships and using a great deal of creativity.

By Kurt Dupont

Data and report are the two words you are well accustomed to, even though you may or may not have to deal with them every day. But in case you have to create reports and manage dashboards every single day, then you are already aware of how arduous it is to manually collect, record, and update this data. However, thanks to the constant development of software and Information Technology, there is software available that can make reporting and updating dashboards easier than ever.

Such software can enable you to simplify the whole data reporting process without tiring you out with manual labor. You won’t have to collect any data or make any changes from your side. Now you can think and ask, All of these sounds pretty complex, will it really benefit me without any manual work from my side? or you can also ask about the technicalities of the product, like will it be actually easy to use?

Well, the whole point of using such software is to aptly reduce your workload and make data reporting as well as managing the dashboard easier for you so that you can focus on the other part of your work.
