Guys, please as election is approaching lets reflect on leadership article by Prof. M.S. Rao.
“How to Build Your Leadership Resume?” - Professor M.S.Rao
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." - Theodore Roosevelt
If you want to build your leadership resume globally, you need to have five-fold strategy. First create new things in your domain as nobody appreciates the routine things. You need to go by the road less traveled. Secondly, communicate with the world through research papers and articles either by blogging and, or writing to magazines and journals. Thirdly, teach and train people in your area of interest. Fourthly, network with the experts in your area of interest and fifthly, lead in your domain by interacting with others globally by participating in conferences, seminars as a guest speaker
Leadership Resume Tips
Follow the below tips for building your leadership resume.
• Check your passionate areas.
• Be clear about where do you want to go and in which stream of leadership you are inclined to grow.
• Follow unconventional path.
• Create a unique roadmap to reach your leadership position.
• Always emphasize on pretty ideas not on petty individuals.
• Always look at the ball not at the score. That means, how you play is more important than looking at the results.
• Although continuous tooting your horn is not advisable, you need to do sometimes to stay in the race to get noticed.
• Keep doing and keep going.
Conclusion
The number one leadership guru, John Maxwell is good at four areas such as leading, communicating, creating and networking. He was not worried about his weaknesses. He knew where he was strong at and leveraged effectively and grew as a leadership legend globally. He began focusing on personality development when he was 17 years of age by investing one hour a day regularly. You can take a leaf out of his consistent and continuous efforts and build your leadership resume to make a difference in the lives of others.

“Which is the Power Predominant for Leadership Effectiveness – Expert, Referent, or Personal?” - Professor M.S.Rao
"Charisma is the result of effective leadership, not the other way around." - Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus
Leadership Effectiveness
Leadership effectiveness is confluence of several competencies and capabilities. However, the current article addresses it from three types of powers such as expert power, personal power and referent power.
According to business directory, referent power means ‘Influence over others, acquired from being well liked or respected by them’ and personal power means, ‘Influence over others, the source of which resides in the person instead of being vested by the position he or she holds’. In addition, expert power means, ‘ability to influence someone regarding a course of action because of specific knowledge, experience, or expertise. A person may be given the power to make decisions for others because he is an expert on the particular subject.’
For leadership effectiveness all the three powers are required for leaders. But the moot point here is which is the predominant power for leadership effectiveness. Any effectiveness starts with domain competence. That means leaders must be good at their tasks to command respect from their followers. Succinctly, they must be good at hard skills. Secondly, personal power does help to greater extent in enhancing leadership effectiveness. That means leadership without title in the words of Robin Sharma. Several definitions of leadership clearly say that leadership is not a designation, nor a title. Leadership is by example. Thirdly, leaders must have referent power of being liked to get the tasks executed efficiently and effectively. To conclude, leaders must blend all the three powers judiciously for enhancing leadership effectiveness as per the situation.

“Are There Level 6 Leaders?” – Professor M.S.Rao
According to Jim Collins, there are five levels of leadership. The level 1 leaders are good at their work individually. They can contribute their best individually both efficiently and effectively. The level 2 leaders are not only efficient and effective but also work in teams effectively thus gelling well with team members. The level 3 leaders are competent managers who can get the work done effectively and efficiently from level 1 and level 2 leaders. The level 4 leaders think ahead of level 3 leaders as they have clear vision to where they intend to go and take their team members forward. Finally, the level 5 leaders are highly passionate and don’t mind who get credit for their contribution. They have humility and professional will. Such leaders take organizations to greater heights of glory. Level 5 leaders are required to take organizations from good to great. Are there level 6 leaders beyond level 5 leaders? Let us look at the same.
Level 6 Leaders:
Level 6 leaders work with passion, patience and perseverance. They emphasize on values and ethics. They empathize with others. They believe in values based leadership. They build further leaders thus ensuring longevity of the organizations. They know how to inspire the motivate people. They are master trainers and mentor others. They are transformational leaders with passion to make others believe in themselves for the good of others. They are knowledge leaders having specialized knowledge. They are thought leaders who see the invisible and forecast the future requirements that are beyond the reach of normal leaders.
Level 6 leaders strive for the personal and professional success of their followers. They handhold, guide and groom them as leaders. They create more leaders to take things forward. They ensure the longevity of the organization without expecting any rewards and returns.
To conclude, level 6 leaders create more leaders. They are above level 5 leaders. They are humane and kindhearted. They believe in soft leadership that blends both soft and hard skills. These leaders are legends who will be remembered for several generations for their commitment and making difference in the lives of others.

Tunduma mwendelezo
Habari zilizozagaa kwenye tovuti mbalimbali ya kuwa TRA wamekamata shehena ya mfanya biashara maarufu wa kampuni ya AZAM Bw. Said Bakhresa, kuwa lori lake lilisheheni karatasi za wapigakura ya URAISI ambazo tayari zimekwisha kupigwa "NDIYO" kwenye picha ya Raisi anayetarajiwa kubwaga manyanga baada ya uchaguzi huu, Bw. JK zimeleta hisia kali miongoni mwa wapigakura kuwa hakuna namna CCM inaweza kufanya hujuma hii ya kuwadhulumu wapigakura bila ya kuwa imepata mwanya kutoka kwa NEC.
NEC hivi sasa ambayo wajumbe wake wote ni teule ya Jk hakuna mpigakura anayeiamini hata chembe kutokana na maamuzi yafuatayo ambayo imeyafanya:-
1) Kufuta haki ya wapigakura kuwa mita 200 kutoka kwenye vituo vyao vya kupiga kura. Hii inaashiria ya kuwa NEC wapo beneti na CCM katika kuhakikisha ya kuwa kura bandia zinapoingizwa kwenye vituo vya kupiga kura wapigakura hawatakuwepo kuzuia au kukamata ushahidi wa uovu huo.
2) Kuanzisha matumizi ya tekinolojia nyingi na ambazo ni rahisi kurubuniwa na mitambo ambayo si rasmi na hivyo kufanya uwepo uwezekano mkubwa wa kucheza na kuyachakachua matokeo halisi ya uchaguzi huu.
3) NEC kutowapigania wapigakura wa vyuo vikuu wapatao 60, 000 na kuanza kutupiana mpira na serikali ya CCM ikithibitisha zaidi wanajua wanachokifanya hapo. NEC wangeliweza kabisa kuahirisha uchaguzi kwa wiki moja ili wanafunzi hao wapate haki yao ya kupiga kura lakini kamwe NEC haitafnya hivyo kwa sababu lengo ni kupunguza kura za upinzani
4) NEC siyo mgeni katika kucheza rafu. Mwaka 1995, ilichelewesha vifaa vya kupiga kura Mkoa mzima wa Dar-Es-Salaam ili kuilinda CCM iliyokuwa inadondoshwa vibaya hapo. Kama wapo tayari kufanza hivyo siku hizo ni lipi la kuwazuia safari hii kucheza rafu tena za kisomi zaidi?
5) Hadi sasa NEC haijatoa tamko rasmi la kupinga au kukubali kuwa chaguzi hii tayari imeingiwa na dosari ya kura za JK kujaribu kuingizwa kinyemela huko Tunduma na mfanya biashara wa kiarabu Bw. Bakhresa na kampuni yake ya AZAM kuingiza kura haramu hizo. Hili linaongeza mashaka ya kuwa NEC ni sehemu ya mkakati huo ndiyo maana imekaa kimya.
6) NEC ndiyo waliochapisha kura hizo sasa inakuwaje JK na watu wake wajue NEMBO hizo kama siyo NEC hao hao waliovujisha NEMBO hizo? NEC walidai wameikodisha kampuni kutoka UK ili ifanye kazi ya kuchapisha kura kuondoa malalamiko kama yaliyojitokea sasa yawaje Afrika kusini wameweza kuziiba nembo hizo na kuzichapisha. KAMA UFEDHULI HUU NI WA KWELI BASI NEC inabidi iwajibike na kujiuzulu ili kuleta imani kwa wapigakura na chaguzi ikaahairishwa na tukajipanga upya
7) Kutokana na ukimya wa NEC wa kuvuja kwa NEMBO zake za uchaguzi na wao kukaa kimya wapigakura wana kila sababu ya kuutilia mashaka uchaguzi huu kama utakuwa ni huru na wa haki. NEC walipaswa kutoa tamko kama ni la kukiri basi kutoa tenda nyingine ya kuzuia NEMBO zilizoibiwa kutumika tena katika uchaguzi huu....
8) Tamko la JWTZ la kuwatisha wapigakura kutoleta fujo baada ya matokeo kutangazwa liliashiria ya kuwa CCM yaelewa kuwa wapigakura hawataafiki matokeo yatayotangazwa na NEC kwa sababu watakuwa wameiba kura kimacho macho na kuzima tafurani hiyo ni kulitumia JWTZ na vitisho vyake.
NEC hivi sasa ambayo wajumbe wake wote ni teule ya Jk hakuna mpigakura anayeiamini hata chembe kutokana na maamuzi yafuatayo ambayo imeyafanya:-

tunachangia CCM bila ridhaa yetu wenyewe
Wadau,
Staki kuthibitisha haya maneno hapo chini kama ni kweli au si kweli,
kwani kipindi hiki mambo mengi yanajitokeza.
Kinachonisikitisha naamini usajili tuliofanyiwa wa simu zetu ulikuwa
ni uhuni mkubwa, kwani sasa hivi unaweza ukapata ujumbe hususan toka
CCM (nasikia hata CHADEMA), ukikuomba kuchangia au kueleza mafanikio
ya CCM, kitu kinacholeta picha kuwa namba zetu zinatumika kisiasa
bila ridhaa yetu.
"Kila Mtanzania anayepiga simu mtandao wowote, asilimia kumi (10%) ya
huo muda wa maongezi, fedha hizo zinaenda kuchangia Kampeni za CCM.
Kudhihirisha hili, mtu yeyote mwenye simu, chukua simu yako, nenda
kwenye sehumu ya kuandika ujumbe mfupi (SMS); kisha andika neno
"HAPANA" na tuma ujumbe huo kwenda namba "15016." Utapokea ujumbe huu
“Asante kwa ujumbe wako, utatolewa kwenye huduma hii ya changia
ushinde na CCM.”Hii ni hujuma tunayofanyiwa watumiaji wa huduma za
mawasiliano bila ridhaa yetu au kujulishwa hivyo na Mamlaka ya
Mawasiliano Tanzania (TCRA).
Kesho yake, October 14,2010, nadhani baada ya wahusika kushtukia idadi
ya watu watu wanaojiondoa kwenye huduma hii; na nilipokuwa najiondoa
kwenye hujuma hii kwa kutumia lini yangu ya Zain & Zantel, nilipokea
ujumbe huu “Asante kwa ujembe wako kama umeshiriki Changia ushinde
utaondolewa kwenye huduma. Kumbuka hakuna malipo kutumia mtandao wa
mawasiliano wa CCM.” Ujumbe huu wa pili nauona kama ujanja wa
kuwapumbaza watu kwani mantiki yake imevurugwa kwa maksudi. Hata hivyo
cha msingi hapa tusiangalie nyuma, tumeshahujumiwa, dawa ni kujiondoa
maana kujiondoa kwenye hujuma hii ni bure. Mjulishe ndugu na rafiki
yako tafadhali. "

JUNIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP COMPETITION
JUNIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP COMPETITION
Clare College invites applications for stipendiary Junior Research Fellowships, two in an arts subject and one in a science subject. The Fellowships will normally be tenable for three years from 1 October 2011.
To access the Junior Research Fellowship application system, you are required to register. This enables you to save your application and revisit/edit it before submitting it, or to check the status of your application. It is recommended that you register as soon as possible.
Applications and referees' reports must be received by 5pm on 13 December 2010. Incomplete applications will NOT be accepted. Please make sure that your application and your referees' reports reach us before the closing date. Register by clicking here.
Eligibility Requirements:
Application for a Junior Research Fellowship is open to candidates in any discipline. There are two Fellowships available in the Humanities, and one in the Sciences. The three successful candidates selected by Clare College will have an excellent record of research in their chosen subject and the potential to pursue that research at the highest level.
Applications are invited from candidates who must have completed no more than four years' full time research in the Humanities, or no more than five years' full time research in the Sciences by 1 January 2011. For further details regarding the Eligibility Requirements, please click here.
Statements of research are required, and should be not more than 1,000 words, outlining the work candidates would submit in support of their application and the research they propose to pursue if elected. Please note that the statement will be read by people outside as well as inside the candidate's own discipline and should therefore be intelligible to scholars in other subjects.
Dissertations are not required at this stage, but it is essential to have written work readily accessible, because those candidates whose applications are short-listed for further assessment will be invited by 1 February 2011 to submit a copy of their chosen written work electronically, plus two hard copies, which should be received at Clare College no later than 5pm 4 February 2011. Please ensure that your contact details on your application are kept updated at that time (preferably giving your e-mail, mobile, or telephone details).
The College is concerned with the quality, rather than quantity, of the work submitted but, in order that an informed assessment may be made, it is important that sufficient material be available. As a rough guide, it is recommended that the work for submission to external assessors should be about 20,000 words (or about one quarter the length of a PhD thesis).
Submitted work should normally be written in English. If candidates are intending to submit work in a foreign language, they should give notice by indicating this on their application where they enter the title of the work.
In addition to submitting written work, short-listed sciences candidates will be asked to provide a statement by 25 February 2011, on headed notepaper and signed by the prospective Head of Department, signifying his/her willingness to accommodate the Junior Research Fellow, if elected. In cases where short-listed candidates are not already in contact with the Department, the College will provide assistance in initiating discussions with the Head of Department.
Applications, including two referees' reports, must be submitted online by 5pm on 13 December 2010.
Fellowship Details:
Stipends are at present payable on the University's salary scale, starting at spine point 39 (£27,183). However, £5,327 per annum will be deducted if resident in College. The stipend will increase by one spine point each year. The payment of an increment after the first year is conditional upon the PhD having been awarded.
The stipend of Research Fellows who are in receipt of financial support from other sources will be by arrangement, in the light of individual circumstances. All Research Fellows are entitled to lunch and dinner in Hall free of charge, up to ten meals a week.
Research Fellows may join the University's Superannuation Scheme.
The College may grant up to £1,000 in any one academic year for travel in connection with attendance at conferences and for essential research work, and up to £2,000 towards the cost of purchasing IT equipment.
Research Fellows are members of the Governing Body and are expected to participate in the governance and social life of the College. Research Fellows may undertake up to six hours' teaching a week in University Term.
Application Timetable:
The application process begins on 4 October 2010.
Applications and two reports from independent referees, both of whom should be familiar with the candidate's research work, must be submitted through the web site, and received by the College by 5pm on 13 December 2010. One of these referees should normally be the supervisor. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
Candidates will be short-listed by 1 February 2011.

Uvumi wa kukamatwa kwa karatasi za kupigia kura Tunduma
Uvumi wa kukamatwa kwa karatasi za kupigia kura Tunduma
Taarifa kutoka Tunduma, mpakani mwa Tanzania na Zambia mkoani Mbeya zinasema kuwa lori la kampuni ya Azam linalomilikiwa na mfanyabiasha maarufu Bakhresa leo hii tarehe 18 Oktoba, 2010, limekamatwa likiwa na shehena kubwa la karatasi za kupigia kura zitakazotumika uchaguzi mkuu Oktoba 31.
Maafisa wa TRA tunduma walishtuka baada ya kukuta karatasi hizo za kupigia kura zimefichwa kwenye shehena ya vipodozi. Inasemekana kuwa mzigo huo wa karatasi za kupiga kura ulitokea Afrika Kusini na ulipakiwa kwenye gari la Azam kutoka kwenye gari lililotoka na mzigo kutoka Afrika Kusini.
Taarifa zinasema kuwa lori hilo la Azam linashikiliwa na TRA na mzigo huo umekuwa sealed. Kuna hofu kuwa vigogo wenye njama za kuiba kura wanaweza kujaribu kufuta ushahidi kuhusu kukamatwa kwa karatasi hizi za kupiga kura.
Kwa mujibu wa taarifa hizo, karatasi hizo za kupiga kura tayari zimewekewa tiki kumchagua Jakaya Kikwete wa CCM na lengo ni kuwa zisambazwe kwenye vituo mbalimbali vya kupigia kura nchini na zihesabiwe kama kura halali.
Taarifa zaidi zinadai kuwa polisi wanaendelea na uchunguzi
