The graded recitation led to more conversation and reflection on leadership

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

Yesterday, we had a graded recitation.  The list of articles to be read and discussed by the Leaders were previously sent and they were archived systematically for easy location.

Some of the important points that came out:

1.   On Heneral Luna:

    1. He could have done better were it not for the fact that he looked too harsh.  He could have been the great general who would have saved our country;  His inability to connect and engage with his people led to his untimely demise.  He could have balanced his use of power and empathy/compassion. Thus iron fist and velvet gloves approach.  Himas tadyak ika nga ng matatanda.

   2.  While he had character (discipline) and competence (scientist, writer, soldier, general) he forgot one aspect of power  -  legality, that of being with the blessing in the organization.   We should bear in mind that the President and his cabinet made sure they were in power (first with the rigged election) the elimination of adversary like Bonifacio

Hi Leader Alan:

I noted that you have been making a number of comments all ready at the site, so with Leaders Romy and Juliet.  This is right,  The comments form 10% of your class participation grade. This is to have solid basis for grading you as your write your comments.  Leaders have to make at least 3 comments of 4 lines each to get a grade of 4 for this aspect of grading.

If you do not comment or comply, you lose 0.4 of your grade.  So others who have not commented (that means you have to read the post and your other readings to make  comment)

Please continue commenting other leaders
