We were always grinding, we didn’t remain where we started, we became hungrier! But as a leader there was so much I could give at this stage. I didn’t have enough to feed our hungry talents, I lacked management skills to keep the over talented people with the team. So when people who wanted more wanted to leave, they left and I was happy! Because I knew it will be nice to keep them but deep down I no longer have cubs but lions now, the appetite is different, so its ok when they leave, until I have what it takes to feed a pride! Until then I just maintain my nursery!

When I was a leader of a band, people who were hungry for more than what I could afford, they didn’t stay too long and were dissatisfied with my status-quo, so it was better for us to part ways!

One thing you learn in being a leader is knowing you can't have everyone on your team, or you just can't keep some people for so long! Ask yourself if you can lead them before you decide to work with them, they may be good, fit your work culture and be productive but can you feed their thirst?

As a leader you have a vision of where you're going, and how you want to get there but not everyone out there that’s talented to do the job can flow with the recipe you have to make success! It's ok when you feel someone is not right for you and the culture of the environment you're trying to create, it's sad to let such pure talent go, that will improve productivity but you have to be at peace with yourself as a leader and accept your short comings and let things be. Another twist to it is to know that your relationship or duration you will have with this individual is limited, prepare yourself to know someday you have to say goodbye and GOD BLESS you, Thank you for all you have done!

You will need to apply wisdom to the whole matter on handling people's different skill set that you meet on a day to day basis, because managing people is like an eco-system, everyone has an amount to give to keep the niche moving, as a leader you have to maintain everyone's contribution, and when you feel you're lacking behind in your supply of leadership skill for the passionate ones that have improved over time, let go and let be. You will realize you have done your part as a leader, be at peace with parting so you can have a healthy niche, you can be happy and feel productive with your leadership skills.

GOD BLESSES us with wisdom on how to deal with people, that's why we should make time to spend with HIM on daily basis! HIS SPIRIT is made manifest in us when we take time out to reach with HIM in the place of prayer, worship and Bible reading. Meet with HIM constantly!

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. James 1:5
