Description

The Life Leadership Model is a leadership philosophy that primarily deals with the leader's self-awareness, self-control and self-expression. It is an Inside-Out leadership perspective that covers the different spheres of a leader's existence and manifestations.
The book, which is divided into four quadrants, considers every aspect of leadership. The first quadrant deals with the leader's personality and composition. It answers the question: Who are You? The second quadrant takes care of the leader's assignment. You cannot be a leader if you don't know your specific assignment. It answers the question: Why are You here? The third quadrant deals with the process the leader is expected to carry out his or her assignment. It addresses the question: How were you designed and expected to live? The fourth quadrant looks at how to serve your clients and beneficiaries with your assignment. This addresses the question: How should you serve others?
In the book you will learn how to be transformed from being a follower into a dynamic leader; how to discover your purpose and fulfil your destiny; how to deploy your resources to achieve maximum results; and how to be happy and great in any endeavour you embark on.

Acknowledgments
I thank God for the ideas, wisdom and grace to put these words down. I could not have done it without His inspiration and insight.
I would like to appreciate my beautiful and loving wife, Mrs. Ekpoanwan Effiong, who stood by me throughout the book's development. I appreciate my mentor, Mr. Michael Ojukwu, who is the source and motivation for the birth of this book. I especially thank my Pastor, Dr. Olubunmi Ladipo, who gave me encouragement and direction for the book.
I greatly appreciate my editor, Omei Bongos-Ikwue, who worked tirelessly to give the book its flavour. Thank you, my friend and brother, Mr. Roland Achor, for your splendid contributions and great encouragement throughout the process of writing the book.
Nothing great is ever done alone. This book could not have been completed without the efforts and contributions of other great people too numerous to mention. I am truly indebted to you all and pray that your labour of love will not go unrewarded.
Thank you.

Foreword
God spoke: “ Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature. So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle,
And, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth. ” God created human beings; he created them godlike, Reflecting God's nature. He created them male and female.
God blessed them: “ Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge! Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth. (Genesis 1:26 – 28; MSG)
I believe this statement from the Bible is the essence of, and mandate for, all human beings. Everyone has a unique purpose for domination on earth. This must be discovered, developed and deployed for domination in that perculiar sphere of influence. The author, in his book, has articulated the process of achieving God's original mandate for every man and woman.
I commend this book to you and pray that it brings you to the discovery of your unique area of influence, and the development and deployment of the peculiar gift within you.
Blessings,
Olubunmi Ladipo
Introduction
The Life Leadership Model
The whole concept of leadership can be summed up in three words: self-discovery, self-mastery and self-expression. As a leader, you will only be great, happy and prosperous if you are fully conscious of your ideal self, master every aspect of that self for maximum impact and express that self for the benefits of all. This book is to help you achieve just that.
Everyone in the universe is searching for solutions. People might seek solutions to their unfulfilled desires and expectations, or their challenges and problems. Whatever it may be, we are all seeking answers to life's questions. Many people seek these answers outside themselves. They seek answers in their environment, leaders, family, business, career, or possessions. They believe that if their leaders, spouse, boss, friend, or parent did this or that for them, their lives would be better. Sadly, such people drift through life without finding lasting satisfaction for the yearnings of their souls.
Only a few people know that the solutions they seek lie within them. Such people know that their external environment only reflects their internal condition; thus, they seek the cause of this reflection instead of its visible effect. They know that if the cause changes, the effect will also change. Are you poor, sick or feeling lonely, depressed, frustrated or anxious? The solution to these challenges, or any other one confronting you right now, lies in your consciousness of your ideal personality. Knowing who you are and constantly living in the awareness of that truth is the master key to your transformation and freedom.
In his book, The Spirit of Leadership, Myles Munroe tells the true story of a young lion that grew up among sheep. One day, another lion from the jungle confronted him where he was feeding. Before the confrontation, this young lion considered himself a sheep. He lived as a sheep, ate as a sheep and responded to life as a sheep. He has the nature, composition and make-up of a lion, but expresses himself as a sheep, unconscious of his identity as a lion. After his encounter with the lion from the jungle, his transformation and liberation took place. He became conscious of his true nature. He understood that he had never been a sheep and, consequently, cannot live like a sheep anymore. He made his decision to take his rightful place in the jungle where lions reign as kings!
This is where his real work begins. Since he knew nothing about living like a lion, he must undergo his transformative training before he can truly live like a lion. He must unlearn everything he learned while living as a sheep. He must discard his old lifestyle, mindset and attitude about life. His major work is to change his perspective about himself and keep it changed! He must develop the attitude and mindset of a lion. He must be true to who and what he is! He must develop a new lifestyle of dominion over life. He must take up the responsibility to hunt, talk (roar), eat, sleep, walk and work like a lion. This new life requires a considerable amount of work, perseverance and persistence. He must develop the mastery of a lion.
What is true about this young lion is true about many leaders today. The greatest challenge facing leaders in our generation is the incorrect perception of their self-image, self-ideal and self-worth. When a man's true identity confronts him, everything about him changes. Until then, he lives like an ordinary person, controlled by his mind and five senses, and aware only of what his five senses tell him about himself and his environment. Until he meets himself, he remains carnal – that is, only physically or materially inclined and never spiritually inclined. He must “ see ” before he “ believes ” because for him, “ seeing is believing. ”
But when he knows the truth about his true nature and identity, he becomes supernatural and influenced only by his spirit. From that point onward, he gains an entirely new perspective about himself. His paradigm becomes “ believing is seeing. ” Suddenly, he finds nothing outside himself with which to compare himself; there is nothing else in the entire universe that looks exactly like him. His likeness can be found only inside him.
Your real self is your spirit. You are the image and likeness of God. God, like the lion from the jungle, has come to introduce you to yourself. You must no longer evaluate yourself by your external environment or experiences because they might not be telling you the true story about yourself. Let God show you who you are. If you have believed in Christ Jesus, you are a brand-new person on the inside. You may look the same on the outside, but on the inside, everything about you has changed. Your spirit has become completely new, you have received the “ mind of Christ ” , and your body has been quickened to live the new life. You are no longer a natural human being, but a supernatural personality. Because you are one with Christ, your evaluation of yourself must change. As the apostle Paul reminds us,
So, we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:16 – 17; NLT)
Your responsibility is to live in the consciousness of this new life throughout your existence in this world. Only the Bible can truly and fully tell you about this new and unique nature: “ But if you give yourself to the Lord, you and Christ are join
