Regis Cebu Leadership Call To Arms Speech – "The Shepherd's Way" by Leader Juvelon Abante
When we speak of leadership, 2 immediate popular names come into place. Are you Steve Jobs or a Jack Welch? Are you the incremental or the disruptive leader? Their leadership styles are the most popular role models but for today you will discover the ancient ways of creating a successful leader. You will learn "The Way of the Shepherd".
In my pursuit of finding my leadership role model that is practically matched with my core strengths, I came across a book that my wife has given me. It is a leadership book entitled "The Way of the Shepherd, 7 Ancient Secrets to Managing Productive People by Kevin Leman and William Pentak". The learning's from this book become my guiding principle that I am practicing in my work and in my family.
First ,"You need to know the condition of your sheep". As leader, it is important that you have engagement with your team. You need to establish the connection between your members and you as their leader. Yes, I understand that being the leader means a greater responsibility but we need to remember that the moment you have accepted the leadership role, you should also understand that much of your time is now devoted to people development rather than task oriented. It pays to know your flock and empathy plays a big role in knowing the condition of your members.
