Manchester United interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is on a roll. He recorded eight consecutive wins and has brought ManU closer to compete for Champions League football next year.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could boost his chances of landing the Manchester United job on a permanent basis by reaching the quarter finals of the Champions League.

Solskjaer has enjoyed an excellent spell in interim charge of Old Trafford, winning his first eight games. That run came to an end against Burnley in midweek but United fought back from 2-0 down to rescue a point. United’s form has led to calls for Solskjaer to get the job on a permanent basis but he is expected back at Molde at the end of the season.

Yet, he used the same players as Jose Mourinho, the special one, whose star faded evidently. Of course the scheduling may not be the same but you cannot take it from Solskjaer – he has made Pogba, Martial and Rashford better.

That brings me to this question: who can motivate your team? Yes, as you can see, one man will take a highly castigated team to achieve impressive results even in the short-run. Before Solskjaer arrived, ManU was talking of shipping Pogba but today he is considered a great future for the Red Devils.

Until you find what can motivate or who can motivate your team, you may struggle to take that mission to the zenith. Find your Solskjaer in that business today.

A leader’s most important quality is to motivate, inspiring and influencing people under him/her to undertake great deeds. It is not for you to be doing the job yourself, that’s not leadership, it simply shows that you are deficient in the most important metric: motivation.

When men and women have lost confidence in you, then you have become a nuisance, capable of holding nobody, and leading nobody. If people are not moved when you speak, kindly step aside, you have lost it!

It is a regular question – “Sir, how do I prepare for the Board meeting?” Tough question but also one with the easiest answer: have great operating numbers on revenue, profit and market share. No need to consult speech therapists or presentation coaches!

A board of directors is a recognized group of people who jointly oversee the activities of an organization, which can be either a for-profit business, nonprofit organization, or a government agency.

We work with many startups and founders in Africa. Typically, when they prepare ahead for Boards, I always remind them of one thing: “the best presenters have the best numbers”. Simply, if your performance is great, you will look good before Board.

When the Board sees revenue up and profit up, everyone will relax and enjoy the presentation. Whether you stammer or not, the numbers are speaking, and the sound is awesome.

The key thing is this – it is not about speaking like Prince Charles of England that will save you when you are losing market share with paralysis everywhere. As they say – measure what matters. To have a great day with the Board seasonally, you must ensure you have GREAT numbers to become an effective presenter.

This is one secret as you prepare for Board meetings in that mission to change the world.

In this video, I explain the mechanics of aggregation construct which I have written extensively in this ecosystem. Aggregation powers most successful ICT utilities in modern commerce, from Facebook to Uber to Google. Simply, aggregators control demand, pulling amalgam of suppliers to operate on their terms. And as they do that, they execute a service framework equilibrium which facilitates a positive continuum, triggering network effect with category-shaping disruptive impacts.
