DECEPTION: Do Due Diligence, Says Leader Mike
Mike Ihezuo
Deception is a strong weapon of mass destruction. It is applied everywhere and every time. Too common, it’s in every area, call, practice, discipline and what have you. It’s satan in serpent form that deceived Eve, the progenitor of human race. Deception has sweet unsuspecting names;
+ In negotiation, it is called gambit
+ In strategy, it is called ploy
+ In politics, it is called lobbying
+ In relationship, it is called diplomacy
+ In leading, it masquerades as manipulation etc.
Deception is, connotes, implies and means evil.
Why?
Your wisdom is circumvented.
Deception keeps sowing new dresses.
– People deceive people.
– People deceive nations.
– People deceive organizations.
– People deceive self (the worst form of deception).
I consider people deceiving self as the worst (case) scenarios – the most stupid, careless, unthoughtful.
Why? Why must someone deceive himself? Why must someone shot himself?
You ought to deceive other person or organization (hear me: if you must deceive) to gain advantage to benefit you (at least for now), but when you deceive you, are you not the most stupid? You are like one who corks a gun and triggers it on his legs instead of the adversary.
Cure
The cures to deception as I see it in self lives, organizations, societies, etc is;
1. *Second Time Review (2nd Time Thinking, sleeping over a matter, proposal, issue)*,
2. Consulting
3. Godly Counsels if you will be blessed to get one.
4. Perhaps, most critical: *Doing Due Diligence*. Most bad things that happen to us in life happen because WE and THOSE AROUND US fail to do our DUE DILIGENCE.
Lack of due diligence makes us to;
a. Assume things
b. Presume thigs
c. Ignore asking questions
d. Think the other persons knows our minds or is ‘our own’ mind-reader or employed to be reading our minds.
e. Think the other person can act angel when we, ourselves, are demons.
f. Pushing things to luck and chances (very stupid stance in life).
g. etc.
When you develop the character and attitude of due diligence, you can walk out of and away from many challenges of life, and reduce your prayer points.
A. Our country have not done due diligence from the beginning
B. Our societies have not been known to be due diligence type.
C. Out systems second name is Non-Diligence.
D. Worst: individually, we’re not due diligent by character, by attitude and by habits [ emphasis: ‘by’]. We goto schools buy certificates and come out (graduate) and question;
i. why the economic solutions we proffer with MSc, PhD Economics is not working,
ii.why people we treat in hospitals as Doctors and Nurses are not cured,
iii. why in court we give Conflicting judgement using one constution on same matter,
iv. why SMEs are not surviving first or second anniversary before winding up,
v. why unemployment is skyrocketing upon close to 200 universities,
vi. why companies leaving the shores of country,
vii. why sycophancy and politics are becoming most lucrative professions while banditry and kidnapping are already most lucrative ventures,
viii. why we’re becoming incapacable of raising leaders for political, institutional and corporate world.
ix. why the most educated of us all, very senior professors rig elections for those they taught & should guide intellectually, and come back to expect good governance and paying them MOU. Self deception!
No due diligence in all of these and more…
When you become due diligent, you avert certain deception if not all.
People deceive self by believing, doing, reading and following the wrong thing. Avert deception, as much as possible. Maybe, maybe nobody is above being deceived, just like making mistake, but avoid/avert them for you. No award/accolade is given for being deceived.
Leader Mike, has been on cutting helping leaders to become true leaders in a world CHARACTER is lagging and lacking, where people desire positions of leadership for money, power, fame and certainly not to lead others to their future.
