THE ZERO

BY AYO EMAKHIOMHE

THE ZERO FACTOR

An entity is a being, something of some value, no matter the kind of value attached to it and such a being is recognized as existing in space or time. Anyone that does not meet this criterion is now a NON-ENTITY (a negation of entity).

ZERO ( 0 )

The zero is known as a person of no value. A non-entity.

A zero is a person who brings you to zero anytime you interact with him/her

No matter how high up you are, be you a multiplier or a one, once a zero comes into your life, you fall in value.

At one point in our life or the other, or in one area in our life or the other, we would have been zeros, but the question is, after careful analysis, will we remain zeros or will we work towards becoming multipliers.

There are various character types or traits all exhibited by each temperament type to certain degrees as influenced by the mindset of this personality type.

BUSINESS TRAITS.

1. Wants immediate gratification

A zero is a very impatient person. He/she lives more in his/her ‘id’ personality; in psycho-analysis, a person has 3 personalities; the id, the ego and the superego.

The id is the baby personality, the one that does not know how to express itself, that is very impatient, very demanding and would cry and shout until it gets what it wants, the id would selfishly do what it takes to get what it wants no matter how unfavorably it would be for other parties involved, and if it does not get it, will resort to violence or destruction as long as that would get the required result.

The ego is the maturity/maturing personality seen more in people the age 18 – 25. The Ego personality considers its environmental influences in making decisions, like an eighteen year old on a first date.

The superego is the matured personality, the one that takes the perfect decisions, has good control over the environment it stays in, lives more to balance its environment by being ready to give up to go up, knows when to be demanding, knows when to pick a hard stand and knows when to go soft, but in all this, it is very patient and strategic, looks at and sees the big picture for all situations. A lot of us do not get to this last personality type in our lifetimes.

A zero personality would go into business to gain only immediate or instant and crazy profits and even if it means wrecking the business of the client to achieve this, not bothering about keeping the client around to enjoy long term benefits of long term business relationships. This trait makes the zero a very terrible negotiator, and a good monopolist.

THE 3 TRAITS OF ANY FACTOR

BY AYO EMAKHIOMHE

No matter how we rate ourselves, one thing is sure, we can be better. This blog is for everyone, even if you feel you are a multiplier, a one or a zero. This is because in various spheres of our lives we have elements of 1, 0 or multipliers. So use this blog to find out where in your life you have shortcomings and let us together improve on it.

To guide us, I have divided each numeral personality into three broad areas we can call traits;

- Business traits

- Social traits, and

- Spiritual traits.

Do note that this is not all encompassing but would go a long way in creating a perspective for you and putting you on the path to the top of any area and every area of your life.

Also, this is not the work of a psychologist, but simply the inspiration from experience and studies of a business consultant.

The business trait represents the kind of person you are as a businessman/businesswoman or an employee/employer. How do you behave when you have the most popular jewel in your hand - money? Or how would you go about getting this revered jewel.

It is common fact that everyone has an innate desire for association which is expressed differently by different people. The social trait covers this aspect of our life irrespective of our temperaments.

According to a research, one of the reasons given by most of the worlds richest and influential men for their level of success is their reverence to a supreme being that is why the spiritual trait comes in.

Let’s start with the least of these numbers, the zero.

this will be continued by next post.

cheers.

INTRODUCTION

Rev. Sam Adeyemi once said that the mistake a lot of us make in life is that we set our priorities on the wrong things.

An example is setting goals in life, we set goals to be rich and base that on having money, but true wealth is not by how much money you have in your pocket or your bank account, it is the amount of lives you have affected (and influenced) positively.

Doing a little mathematics, a number multiplied by zero (0) is equal to zero (x *0 = 0). Therefore, a zero can only reduce the value of anything in contact with it.

A number multiplied to the power of one (1) or multiplied by one is itself (x*1 = x, & x^1 = x). Therefore, we can conclude that the numeral one (1) does not add value.

A number multiplied by two or any other higher numeral, never remains itself, but becomes a much greater value than it was at the beginning.

Leadership is about influence, and to lead successfully, you have to first lead yourself well otherwise; you are just taking a stroll. No matter your position in the office or in society, we are leaders, but the issue is what circle of influence have you created and in this circle, what would you rate yourself; a zero, a one or a multiplier.

That is, anyone that comes in contact with a person that is a zero would only fall to a zero whether the person is a 1 or a multiplier.

 In other words, if you are a shiny star on your way to the top of the galaxy, when you come across a zero individual, and allow such a person to influence your attitude, character or mindset, your star will die or fade. And if you are a 1 heading anywhere, look behind you; have you touched any life in your journey so far?

Also, if you are a multiplier, raising leaders and followers around you, beware of the zeros; and you can still be a better multiplier.

No matter how we rate ourselves, one thing is sure, we can be better. This blog is for everyone, even if you feel you are a multiplier, a one or a zero. This is because in various spheres of our lives we have elements of 1, 0 or multipliers. So use this blog to find out where in your life you have shortcomings and let us help you to improve on it.

PREAMBLE

A true leader is defined by his character, habits and mindset. A company can never grow bigger than the person at the helm of affairs; the leader.
The company is an embodiment of the character, habits and mindset of the leader. This  is one of the reasons for the popular definition of leadership: influence; leadership is about influence.

Examples of leadership and influence abound all around us. A very recent one is the icon of golf – Mr. Tiger Woods, his character that seemed so stainless has left him in the woods, his glorious life seems to be in the dark now even after how far he has come.

A child’s value system and being is affected by the environment the child is exposed to, this environment is usually made up of the kind of people that exist in it.

Basically, we are all affected by our environment and the people we relate with influence us in some way to a certain degree.

This blog seeks to find how you first influence yourself, then how you influence all those that come across you in your daily activities.

If you are interested in being a better leader, or having a better character, this blog is for you. If you are interested in bringing out the best in people or simply trying to be a better team leader or the CEO of your organization, this blog is for you.

This blog is not for you alone, it is for all your team mates, partners, staff, friends and colleagues. If you all lead better, the organization and the world in general will be better for it.

welcome aboard.
