LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE

1. Eagles fly Alone and at High
Altitudes.
They don't fly with sparrows, ravens,
and other small birds.

MEANING; Stay away from narrow-
minded people, that bring you
down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep
good company.

2. Eagles have an Accurate Vision.
They have the ability to focus on
something as far as 5km away. No
matter the obstacles, the eagle will
not move his focus from the prey until
he grabs it.

MEANING; Have a vision and
remain focused no matter what the
obstacles and you will succeed.

3. Eagles do not Eat Dead things.
They Feed only on Fresh Prey.

MEANING; Do not rely on your past
success, keep looking for new
frontiers to conquer. Leave your past
where it belongs, in the past.

4. Eagles Love the Storm.
When clouds gather, the eagle gets
excited, the eagle uses the storms
wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds
the wind of the storm, the eagle uses
the raging storm to lift itself above
the clouds. This gives the eagle an
opportunity to glide and rest its
wings. In the meantime, all the other
birds hide in the branches and leaves
of the tree.

MEANING; Face your challenges,
head on knowing that these will make
you emerge stronger and better than
you were. We can use the storms of
life to rise to greater heights.
Achievers are not afraid to rise to
greater heights. Achievers are not
afraid of challenges, rather they relish
them and use them profitably.

5. Eagles Prepare for Training;
They remove the feathers and soft
grass in the nest so that the young
ones get uncomfortable in
preparation for flying and eventually
flies when it becomes unbearable to
stay in the nest.

MEANING; Leave your Comfort
Zone, there is No Growth there.

6. When the Eagle Grows Old,
His feathers becomes weak and
cannot take him as fast and as high
as it should. This makes him weak
and could make him die. So he retires
to a place far away in the mountains.
While there, he plucks out the weak
feathers on his body and breaks its
beaks and claws against the rocks
until he is completely bare; a very
bloody and painful process. Then he
stays in this hiding place until he has
grown new feathers, new beaks and
claws and then he comes out flying
higher than before.

MEANING; We occasionally need to
shed off old habit no matter how
difficult, things that burden us or add
no value to our lives should be let go
of.

NEVER GIVE UP!
BE AN EAGLE!!
BE INSPIRED!!!
