~The World of Four Seasons Spring~

I’ve attended a leadership course organised my YMCA KL –> Middle Leadership Development Course earlier frm 19th-22nd December 2006…I’ve learned lotsa things I’ve never learned b4 abt leadership in this course….so, I think I shall share wif u guys abt my joyful process of learning during this leadership course.

First of all….

What is LEADERSHIP?

If ur answer is….. Leadership is all abt ordering ppl to do what u want them to do, giving commands and make sure no one disobey u….

Ur answer is still right….(dictatorship-ism included)…..but this answer only applies on the Kapten or Army commanders in military training camp….hehez

The Definition of LEADERSHIP in nowadays’ context…..

LEADERSHIP is abt how u connect a bridge between you(yourself) to a group of ppl wif different diversities(eg like diff background, personality, strengths and weaknesses), and lead them towards achieving a SAME goal/vision….

As for the leadership course I attendeded…… It’s divided into 5 main modules: M1-Team Building, M2-Personality DRAPC, M3-Leadership Sills, M4-Conflict Resolution and Problem solving and M5-Communication styles and Group Presentation.

*I’ll go on by further my elaborations each module in the upcoming posts…

Joyful moments during the course…

Day 1- Registration and Team Builing

We’re accommodated to the YMCA hostel…I gt to know 2 of my roommates, Priya and Yan Yee

at night, Ice breaker…We were divided into 5 groups: Ding Dong Bell, Sunshine, Spiderman, MNG and last but not least…my TEAM—AZLAN

*tat “azlan” name is not a Malay name for heaven’s sake…It originated frm the lion king frm the movie… The Chronicles of Narnia–The Lion, the Witch n the Wardrobe….=D

Day 2- Games and lotsa lotsa lectures on M1, M2 and M3.

lectures? Bored u guys off? Hehe…I din feel bored at all!!…..and I kept bombarding questions to the speakers/facilitators until they oso cannot tahan(cannot stand I mean)…hehez…like tat the boring lectures will become fun ma…

*one of my teammates=>Shah fallen into sick….and she had to leave us tat day…sob…:’(

Day 3- Games and lectures on M4 and M5…

Games and lectures during day time…

Individual presentation at night (it’s like public speaking…they simply “threw” u a topic/material/newspaper cutting…and u hv to speak for at least 1 minute…^^)

Day 4- Group presentation

our team presented a sketch, entitiled… “Leaders are Made, Not Born”…our presentation was a great success! And we won the first place!!…thx to Alvin, Timothy, Jiayuan, Noah, Bryan…and ME, of course…haha

Next……

Food and Accommodation

The food was really nice…(except tat sirap jelly…yucks…hehe)…As our RM30 registration fee is refundable, we can consider tat we gt all the 3 meals for free, as well as cookies and muffins for tea time and supper…^.^…

As for the accommodation, the hostel shud be regarded as HOTEL instead…hehe…it’s a very nice and comfortable stay there…

That’s all for now…I’ll keep on uploading the elaborations of the 5 modules I learned throughout the course in future…just be sure tat u guys will catch up my blog…^^
