😂 Remember that viral joke of the comedian who got wrongly credited with a huge sum of money? The bank called him, asking him to "kindly return the money to the rightful owner." He replied: “Sure! But first… come to my office and ask for my secretary. Collect a form and fill it out. Come back in 2 weeks. Bring your passport photo, the other person’s bank portfolio, and a signed letter from your MD. Then we’ll proceed — maybe.” 😎 It was hilarious… until the banker realized — this is exactly how they treat their customers! 😅 🧾 Red-tapism — The Hidden Killer of Productivity! Whether in banking, civil service, or private firms, unnecessary protocols ❌ Waste time ❌ Drain energy ❌ Kill innovation ❌Decisions crawl. ❌ Employees get frustrated. ❌When your job becomes a battle of paperwork and protocols, energy shifts from productivity to survival. ❌If your client or colleague needs 7 signatures and 2 referrals just to solve a basic problem… you’re not working smart. 🚀 Dear professionals: It’s time to scrap needless steps and embrace smarter systems. Let’s stop punishing people with processes that don’t serve purpose. 💬 Let’s Talk: What’s the most ridiculous protocol you’ve faced at work? Have you ever pushed for change in your system? Is your department a place of action or a waiting room? #WorkplaceProductivity #RedTapism #EmployerEmployeeMatters #EfficiencyMatters #SmartWork #Leadership #OfficeHumor #LinkedInCommunity

Why Young Professionals Are Ready to Quit Jobs — And What Great Leaders Can Do About It 👇 👇 Dear leaders, here’s a reality check: 65% of young professionals are considering quitting their jobs in search of better pay, belonging, and growth opportunities. With inflation rising and social media flaunting the “good life,” they’re chasing financial stability and fulfillment. But here’s the truth—your younger employees aren’t lazy or entitled. They’re simply asking for what great leaders should provide: motivation, recognition, and opportunities to grow. If you want to retain and inspire them, it’s time to elevate your leadership game. Why Motivating Younger Workers Matters For Millennials and Gen Z, work is more than a paycheck—it’s tied to their values and identity. They want to feel seen, supported, and included. When they don’t, they’ll leave. Motivated employees bring creativity and energy, but they’ll only thrive in a culture that invests in their growth. How to Inspire Younger Workers 1. Recognize Their Efforts: Publicly celebrate their contributions. A simple “great job” can go a long way. 2. Provide Growth Opportunities: Show clear career paths through promotions, upskilling, and mentorship. 3. Foster Belonging: Celebrate diversity, encourage collaboration, and listen to their ideas. 4. Support Mental Health: Offer flexibility, mental health resources, and work-life harmony. 5. Align Work with Purpose: Help them see how their efforts impact the company and society. 6. Be an Authentic Leader: Lead by example with transparency and trustworthiness. In conclusion, Lead to Inspire. As we enter a new year, remember this: “Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge.” (Simon Sinek). Younger workers want to be part of organizations that value them as people, not just as employees. They want leaders who inspire them, invest in their growth, and help them find fulfillment in their work. How will you inspire them to do their best work?

Names of people who are g@y continued… While the rest of the world are having conversations about AI, Robotics and the future of energy, my people in Nigeria are occupied with a list of g@ys from gistlover blog. So I thought I should contribute to the list. Here are interesting personalities who are also g@y: 1. Tim Cook – CEO of Apple, one of the most influential figures in the tech industry. 2. Ellen DeGeneres – Comedian, television host, and actress known for "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." 3. Anderson Cooper – Journalist and anchor for CNN, known for his work on Anderson Cooper 360°. 4. Laverne Cox – Actress and LGBTQ+ activist, famous for her role in Orange Is the New Black. 5. Pete Buttigieg – U.S. Secretary of Transportation, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and 2020 presidential candidate. 6. Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir – Former Prime Minister of Iceland and the first openly g@y head of state. 7. Elton John – Legendary musician and singer, known for his philanthropic work in HIV/AIDS awareness. The difference between the above names and the names released by Gistlover is that the people listed here boldly IDENTIFIED as g@y - they don’t live in a hypocritical society. While I am definitely Pro-Heterosexuality and do not support immoral s£xual behaviours, yet I am shocked that an entire generation of a youth populated nation is primarily occupied by gossips of who’s g@y and who’s not. There are those who will still misunderstand this post so let me state the sole purpose of this post - I just want Nigerians to upgrade their national conversations on social media from who’s sleeping with who to who’s building what and with who. Instead of investigating someone’s s£x partner, why not use that time to study who’s their business partner. I took time to research who the Chinese partner Davido’s dad mentioned is and I found out. Why should I care about the man’s s£xual partner when what I need to know is his business partner? Why should I care about a g@y when I don’t know which company is getting listed next on the NSE? The CEO of that iPhone in your hands is openly g@y…. While it doesn’t make it right but it just screams “mind your business” so you don’t Slav£ for people you consider immoral.

How I Stay Productive in a World of Digital Distractions 👇🏽 Every day, my phone buzzes non-stop — emails, notifications, offers, reminders. Each one promising something urgent, something I "need" to see right now. As a Digital Native, it's the reality of life online, and sometimes it feels like I'm drowning in a sea of content, vying for my attention from every angle. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. The constant barrage of distractions makes staying focused a daily battle. One minute, I’m working on a task; the next, I’ve been scrolling through social media or checking my inbox for an hour, wondering where all the time went. The digital overload isn’t just annoying; it’s exhausting. It chips away at productivity and makes it harder to accomplish meaningful work. But Here’s What I Do to Stay on Track: 1. Establish a "Digital Routine" I've set specific times for when I check emails and social media—morning, midday, and evening. This gives me control instead of letting notifications dictate my attention. It’s all about creating boundaries. Outside of these windows, I silence notifications. It’s amazing how liberating it feels. 2. Leverage Time Blocks I also use time-blocking techniques to schedule focused work intervals (usually 45–60 minutes), followed by short breaks. This allows my brain to recharge while keeping me productive. 3. Single-tasking Over Multitasking As tempting as it is to juggle multiple things at once, I’ve learned that multitasking kills focus. Instead, I prioritize single-tasking. I focus entirely on one thing at a time, and once that’s done, I move to the next. My productivity shot up when I stopped trying to do everything at once. 4. Mindful Breaks Breaks aren’t optional—they’re essential. But I’ve learned the hard way that scrolling through social media doesn’t count. Instead, I take mindful breaks by going for a short walk or chatting with fellow humans around me. It resets my mind and helps me return to work with more energy and focus. 5. Unplugging to Recharge Believe it or not, sometimes the best way to stay productive is by doing nothing. I carve out time to unplug completely, whether it's taking naps, reading a book, talking with friends and family, or practicing mindfulness. It’s a reset button for my brain and helps me feel refreshed to tackle digital tasks when I come back. A Thought That Stays With Me "In a world where you can be constantly distracted, learning to focus is a superpower." I’ve found that staying productive in the digital age isn’t about cutting yourself off from technology but about using it wisely. The key is to take control of the technology before it controls you. How do you manage digital distractions? I’d love to hear your strategies and experiences as a fellow Digital Native. Let’s share what works and learn from one another! #BookOfChris #elileojoblog #personaldevelopment #profuctivity #careertips

"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet." — Aristotle. In both personal and professional life, waiting is inevitable. Whether it's a career promotion, a business deal, or a personal milestone, we all experience seasons where we are waiting for something we desire. However, the critical aspect is not the waiting itself, but what we do while we wait. Rushing the process often leads to mistakes. Imagine a leader cutting corners in business negotiations just to meet a deadline, or someone hastily jumping into a new job without the necessary preparation. These choices may lead to immediate satisfaction but often result in long-term regret, like Saul losing his throne for acting out of impatience. True growth happens in the waiting season. Like an eagle that renews its strength before soaring, waiting allows us to prepare, reflect, and trust the process. Embrace patience— it ensures you’re ready when the right opportunity or outcome arrives. Remember, waiting on the right timing brings lasting rewards. ~ C.
