Leadership is about advancing others, not about advancing yourself.

The critical question is this: Are you making things better for the people who follow you?

Leaders who add value to others do so intentionally.

There are four guidelines for adding value. They are:

• First, leaders add value to others when they truly value others. Good leaders believe in their people before their people believe in them, and serve others before they are served.

• Second, leaders add value to others when they make themselves more valuable to oth- ers. Adding value to others depends on having something of value to add, such as skills, wisdom, opportunities, and insight.

• Third, leaders add value to others when they know and relate to what others value. Good leaders listen, learn, and then lead.

• Fourth, they add value to others when they do things that God values. God desires that we treat people with respect and to reach out to them and serve them. That standard can influence everything a good leader does.

Nationality: the state of a person in relation to the nation in

which he was born.

Nationality: the quality or character which arises from the fact of a person’s belonging to a nation or state. Nationality determines the political status of an individual, especially with reference to allegiance; while domicile determines his civil status. Nationality arises either by birth or by naturalization (Black’s Law Dictionary 6th Edition, p 1025).

Example: Someone born in Russia can be considered a Russian

National just as someone born in Japan can be considered a

Japanese National.

What is the meaning of Jurisdiction?

Jurisdiction generally means the power of a court to hear and

render a decision in a given situation. There are different

categories of jurisdiction; in rem jurisdiction, in personam or

personal jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, federal or

state jurisdiction, original jurisdiction, and pendent

jurisdiction are the most commonly discussed.

Personal jurisdiction is jurisdiction over the person. A court

has such jurisdiction when the person can reasonably foresee

being sued in that court, by maintaining a residence or other

contacts such as the regular conduct of business in the area.

Subject matter jurisdiction is the authority of a court to hear

the type of case brought before it. It is jurisdiction over the

type of claim brought by the plaintiff. For example, a small claims court only has subject matter jurisdiction of claims up

to a certain dollar amount. Federal courts have jurisdiction

over claims involving federal laws.
