Until you know what you are dealing with, you don't know what you are dealing with.

One dangerous thing about ignorance is that it often feels like certainty.
You may be completely wrong and still sound very convincing.

@Chuksubaka Bro

Experience is valuable. But experience can also become a prison when it refuses new evidence.

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Many people do not investigate problems.
They simply interview their own bias and call it research.
Agree or Disagree

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Some meetings are just five people sharing assumptions with PowerPoint.
True or False

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Stop treating every thought like a revelation.

Some thoughts are just guesses with good branding.

@BwalaDaniel @seunokin @ruffydfire My own is @bwalaDaniel is what did you not know then that you know now that changed your view about APC and Tinubu?

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Not every signed agreement is evidence of genuine agreement.

Sometimes people sign because they are cornered, exhausted, afraid or desperate.

Consent obtained under extreme pressure deserves serious examination.

Corporate language can make aggression sound respectable.

“Creating urgency.”
“Applying commercial pressure.”
“Testing their resolve.”

Sometimes it is simply intimidation wearing a tie.

A billion-dollar acquisition may involve polished suits, expensive lawyers and beautiful boardrooms. But underneath the grammar, human beings are still doing what humans have always done:

Testing power.
Protecting territory.
Managing fear.

"You can play after homework" sounds like a reward.
"You cannot play until you finish homework" sounds like punishment.

Same instruction. Different mood

Pressure changes how people think.

Under enough pressure, intelligent people become impatient. They focus on immediate relief instead of long-term value.
That is why calmness is such a serious advantage in negotiation.

@BwalaDaniel That is you desire from onset even at the detriment of others

[SCILS MANAGEMENT CENTRE @scilsmanagement]

Projects are delivered.

Deadlines are met.

Yet the organization still struggles to achieve its strategic goals.

That's where a well-managed Project Management Office (PMO) makes the difference — aligning projects with business priorities and improving delivery across the organization.

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

When somebody rushes you to make a major decision, ask yourself:

Why must this happen now?
What changes if I wait?
Who benefits from the urgency?

Artificial urgency is one of the oldest tools in negotiation.
#DecisionMaking

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Never enter an important negotiation armed only with logic.
Study the incentives.
Study the fears.
Study the power balance.

Because behind every offer is a person trying to influence what you believe your options are.

@akintollgate What is the impact of that on our Tertiary education.

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Master yourself. Otherwise, your emotions, cravings, fears and distractions will keep making decisions on your behalf. And they are terrible advisers.
#SelfMastery

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

The goal is not to become better than everybody.
The goal is to stop being defeated by the same habits, excuses and weaknesses every year.
