                                            The instructions

                                 The marshamallow Eiffel tower of fettucini rods, the winner the tallest
                                  built by none engineers (the team that had an engineer had a collapsed
                                  tower hahahaha) Congratulations.  Teams really produce results


While other team building activities were simply conducted as as a series of discrete events, last Saturday team building was woven around the stories about 4 pillars of leadership of Chris Lowney - self awareness, love, ingenuity, and heroism.  (The MM team building was built around 6 na katitikan)  This is a way of further reinforcing the  leadership lesson of this course.

The post recalls that the following were conducted:

1.  Cheer leading

2.  The tallest tower built with fettucini rods and with marshmallow tower

3.  The my glass overflows with paper clips

4.  Reflection on who you are and what the significant others really think about you

4.  The reflection on chicken a la carte and the commitment letter

We practice call to action speeches; as leaders we influence and move others

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

Leaders influence others to act - towards a vision towards a change.   So we cant call people leaders unless they can call others to act.  Here is a video on such idea by Simon Sinek.  And unless we are brave.





Be Fearless. May lakas ng loob. Di mahiyain. Makapal ang mukha. You cant be shy leader, secretive.

Further difference between leaders and managers/controllers

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

September 26, 2015

The differences between managers and leaders are explained in depth at HBR must read articles (have they been read)

Please find further discussion in this Life Hack article  more distinctions:   They are concerned with the attitude or the boss as being the boss, follow or else.:

Thus they use fear, my way or your way in handling conflict, they never actively listen (see how Mayor Gatchalian a political science graduate, made a big difference in Valenzuela City by active listening, they never inspire people, they ignore competition, they think they know everything,  they dominate meeting, use fear to make people obey them,  and more..

Have you employed leaders or controllers?

Book readers make better Leaders

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

September 26, 2015

We have often read the quote:   "Those who read lead"

Now there is an article from Lifehack which says that there are 10 reasons why those who read make good leaders  (Get a free book too from the article)

If that is not enough, there is a story about a student who asked the famous investor Warren Buffett on  how to start an investing career.  Warren told the student he must be willing to read 500 pages of books and reports daily

So how do you start improving your reading habits?   Several years ago, as part of my reinventing myself, I vowed to read 20 books a year or 100 in 5 years.   It looks like a tall order.  This article says you can read 30 books a year by reading 20 pages per day.  Simple system of reading 30 books a year

Have you started reading the CD on Leadership?  Have you read the HBR must read on Leadership?

Leadership Journey of the two Class Leaders

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

APS Building Rockwell, Makati City
September 18, 2015

                                   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

There were other classes which were cancelled. (because they did not meet the BEP (break even point which is ten...

We went through the List of Assignments, the Ateneo Leadership Blog which we will use for the submission of assignments, self introduction, and the debate.

Last night was a great night for Call to Arms Speeches and Audio Visual Presentation

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

                                  j
Tristan, adjudged the best speaker last night

Last night, the penultimate night before the semester ends, was a another great night in the life of the Class of Leaders. 26 call to arms speeches covering wide range of advocacies, health care, education, tsinelas leadership, breastfeeding, leadership, youth leadership training, taking care of visions all reveal the gifts and talents of the leaders in the class. They revealed themselves, to me to each other, their gifts which they can use to make the world a better place. As they reveal themselves in their speeches, and the audio visual presentation, one gets a better and deeper picture of the leaders, much more than an enneagram, or a genogram, or a 10 page paper does.

We are ahead of our course syllabus

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