LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM A FRUITFUL TREE
Richard Obeng Mensah
A fruitful tree has deep ROOTS,
which reveal its formative
influences; factors that affect its growth;
and its hidden preparedness to
withstand storms of life.
It is planted in a favourable GROUND (positive
routines and attitudes),
which reveals its specific fertile
location, character and strong foundation base.
A fruitful tree has a projected TRUNK
(talents and skills),
understands that diligently developing
and using one’s endowments brightens a great future.
It has several BRANCHES
(aspirations, hopes, visions, significance and outlets),
which are always connected to its stem
and use them to provide shade, shelter and food (fruits) for humankind and other
creatures.
A fruitful tree has numerous LEAVES (support
and allies),
it values lasting healthy relationships,
networks and partnerships.
It greatly DEPENDS ON NATURE (sunshine,
rainfall etc),
it understands that without God there
is no guarantee for its lasting growth and fruitfulness.
A fruitful tree bears fruits in its
SEASON,
it appreciates and applies the
principles of great preparation, sowing and reaping, pruning and endurance, and right timing!
