The NSTP Orientation was held at the FEU Auditorium; Ms. Diana Ann Recinto was chosen to be the guest speaker. She explained the topic: Leadership and Social Responsibility.
As I expected in a lot of orientation that I’ve been through this will also be as boring as my past experiences. But in that moment, it changed. The topic wasn’t that boring at all and the speaker was good at delivering her speech or what she had to say.
What I’ve learned last week in the orientation was a simple definition of leadership. Leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal. This definition of leadership, I think—captures the leadership essentials of inspiration and preparation. Effective leadership is based upon ideas, but won't happen unless those ideas can be communicated to others in a way that engages them. Leadership is designed to provide an ongoing forum for academic researchers to exchange information, insights and knowledge on both theoretical development and empirical research on leadership.
The Leadership training and Social Responsibility is a step to enhance the qualities of a good leadership in me and in my team mates. It will improve my performance by increasing effective leadership skills and be ready to meet the difficult challenges of today’s economy and business world. Also, I can reach my potential through effective leadership skills training in areas like: crisis management, strategic planning, decision making and more. All leadership training seminars teach valuable insights, proven to work in a “real world” environment.
This orientation helped me realize that being a leader is a tough job. We are all leaders within ourselves but not everyone is given the skills that a leader should have. Through leadership training, it teaches you on how to interact with all kinds of people. We have to be able to reach out and touch people through our leadership skills. We need to inspire and to subtly influence them while taking into account their needs. I can also learn here the different traits that make a leader and whether they really do apply to all people. And a leader simply stands out in a crowd of followers.
watcha think? :)
