10,080 equate to minutes;
minutes equate to time, a commodity that is non-transferable,
non-refundable
and perishable. Interestingly, the “clock” restarts at many
intervals; after every seventh day with 10,080 minutes, after every
day with 1,440 minutes and after every hour with 60 minutes. Imagine
life, if people were fined $1.00 for every minute that was ineffectively
used? Wouldn’t you agree that $1,440.00 or $10,800.00 would be hefty
daily and weekly fines, respectively?
John C. Maxwell in his series
Read Leadership: Equipping 101,
states that a successful leader is
disciplined, always seeks growth, always strives
for improvement, and maximizes the
use of their time. The author suggests that in order to become
a disciplined leader one must:
Leaders in the workplace
should be mindful that subordinate associates are inspired by leaders
who demonstrate and model what they themselves expect from others.
Leading
and disciplining others dictates that one must first master leading
and self-disciplining themselves. A comic joked that no one seeks
weight loss advice from a weight loss counselor who is obese, and
definitely
no one acts on money management tips from an accountant who is neck
deep in debt.
Dear Leader, how are you
using your 10,080?

the presenter asked the participants if they knew the significance of
the number 10,080. About after the third incorrect response the
answer was revealed. The number 10,080 is the number of minutes in a
week, the presenter then asked: how are you using your 10,080?
