A 1 Business Leadership

Leadership subject at AGSB is an Ateneo advantage. It emphasizes leadership from within, authentic leadership. One of its pillars is love. This is odd in a cold steely corporate world. The others are heroism, ingenuity and self awareness. The goal of leadership is not only to develop oneself but to clone other leaders. Everybody has potential to be leader. What we do, even if we do not have followers influences/affects others. It is time to define Filipino leadership too

Example of answering the call to action

'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

AGSB Clark
August 13, 2015

Our class of Leaders made passionate calls to reform many deformity in our country: attitude, mental models on success, health care, maternal care, raising children, slow internet speed in the country, OFW. It is now a question of who and when (5W and 1H) the call will be answered.

One such call answered (health care) is about congenital heart disease Operation Heart Foundation which addresses Congenital Heart Disease. (Another example is
Another link to Operation Heart Foundation

This should be very close to the hearts of Leader Drs. Daisy, Joseph George, Liz and Charm.

This is just one example where leaders, being very competent, and loving with what they do can make a difference. There is a TV ad, that is related to this, where a very young cardiologist has to wrestle with the dilemma of whether to go abroad or stay in the Philippines. A crisis of a young cardiac pediatric patient gave him the answer. He threw the contract for work abroad in the trash can to answer that call. Will you do the same?

Or perhaps our Leaders who are pediatricians can connect/cooperate with this foundation in rare cases where they encounter CHD and the patient can not afford the operation

We should keep in mind though the song "Greatest Love of All" We have to take care of ourselves first (our family - loving oneself) before we embark on such a journey.) The first step towards loving is to have something to give. You can not give something you do not have.
