SOME LEADERSHIP

Every leader must understand his followers. This is one of the pertinent lessons I have learned from the event of the past few days. Finding yourself in a place of leadership either by vote, or force is not important. It is much more important for every leader to understand his or her followers. Failure to identify the simplicity and complexity of your followers is doom. A typical Nigerian is different from a Ghanaian even though they are closer in location. The uniqueness of the follower should be a pointer in determining how a leader lead. This uniqueness shows the characters and flaws of the follower. It also determines their reaction to matters. So, knowing this will help in discharging and dispensing his/her role as a good leader.

Sampling

Sampling is a major part of any research. Getting the right sampling methods helps to enhance accuracy in the results obtained thus the reason for getting it right. While sampling in social sciences may involve survey sampling. The major tool being questionnaires, several kinds of research involved in natural and clinical sciences may employ random, opportunistic sampling from environments such as water bodies, soil, and even the air. It also cut across human subject and animals. As important as sampling is to researchers, it's rather unfortunate that many biases could be introduced to the research work at the early as the time of sampling. As microbiologist by profession, in the brief period of personal research and interactions with colleagues in and out of this field. I have gathered different 'lies' which are ordinary myths as reasons why many human subjects dodged and avoided their involvement in research, the involvement of their animals and, or their resources. Many of such myths arose over time from a period of human existence. Some of which myths were passed down from person to person and others coined from human experiences. Many of these myths have nothing to do with the level of education, religion, and age of human contacts.
