“Cooperation is always more powerful than competition.” – Bob Proctor
The origin of the English word ecumenical is the ancient Greek oikoumene. The root of this word is oikos, a house, and its original meaning relates to those who live together in a household.
By a process of extension it came to refer to the whole inhabited earth. This is a similar journey to that undertaken by another word coming from the root of oikos, economy, which began as the management of the household.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just I am, then I can change.”
– Carl Rogers
Counselling Skills involve the ability to listen to another person and hear exactly what they are trying to say, from their point of view. Counselling is an idea that has existed for several centuries. In most societies, there still is a genuinely embedded view that, under good circumstances, societies have supported each other with their difficulties.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
– Nelson Mandela
Many see administers, leaders, and managers as synonymous, but there are primary differences. They have individual and unique abilities and skills. Administration is task as well as process, leadership is planning and vision, and management is creation and execution.
As a result, the role of leaders is to motivate and inspire. On the other hand, the managers have roles to coordinate, plan and organize.
“There can be no development without long term pace and stability and there can be no pace and stability without the rule of law and respect for human rights.” – Kofi Annan

Some books have been published which focus on the topics of Theological Studies, International Development, Information Studies, Counselling Psychology and Educational Leadership and Management.
