Leader Mel Flores telling her story
Leader Richard Tan
Leadership is about telling and sharing stories of success, failures, and meaningful experiences. And such, two leaders shared their stories yesterday with the class
Two of the class Leaders were requested to speak impromptu on their Leadership Journey: Leaders Mel Flores and Richard Tan. Both are vice presidents in their respective companies.
Wow
Leader Mel worked abroad and local in many entry level positions. But her long years of experience in Singapore gave her confidence and the skills needed in her current job. It appeared from this Lecturer that she started out with the goal to occupy superior and responsible position.
Leader Richard Tan too had global stint. But was remarkable in the journey of Leader Richard was that he learned a lot by getting out of the box of his job description. He was in financial services group, in gas and energy company - Chevron and finally in a BPO company. They started in the BPO company with only 3 employees and now they are expanding.
Wow, Inspiring stories
It could be tough in the future if this becomes the norm for future leaders ie to have cross cultural, cross border experience to be on top of the rapidly changing global economy
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
