Location context: Jos
Most people blame ‘workers’ or ‘leaders’ depending on where they sit. But productivity is usually a system problem: incentives, clarity, tools, and accountability.
Key angles to consider
- Poor leadership: unclear goals, favoritism, weak coaching, and lack of accountability
- Weak systems: no SOPs, broken process flow, poor tools, and constant emergencies
- Low pay/motivation: financial stress, burnout, and no growth pathway
- Culture: lateness tolerated, excuses rewarded, excellence punished
Drop your take (reply-magnetic prompts)
- Pick one: A) Poor leadership B) Weak systems/process C) Low motivation & pay
- Give one real example you witnessed and what actually fixed it.
- If you were CEO for 30 days, what 3 changes would you implement first?
Simple rule: State your point clearly, then back it with a real example or a credible link (if you have one).
Quick context (so we’re debating the same thing)
When people talk about this topic, they often mix up principles (what should be true) and practices (what people actually do daily). So as you comment, try to separate what you believe from what you’ve tested in real life — especially if you’re speaking from experience in Jos.
Practical examples (not theory)
Example 1: a person may believe in discipline but has no system — so they rely on mood. Example 2: someone has a system but no accountability — so they drift. Example 3: someone has accountability but no clarity — so they stay busy without results. Which one sounds familiar to you, and what changed it?
What would convince you?
If you disagree with the original angle, share what evidence would change your mind. Is it a policy example, personal story, a scripture, a workplace case study, or data? The goal is not to win — it’s to learn.
