Let continue from where i stopped....

Next we have....

Model the Way

Find your voice


  1. Tools and techniques of leadership aren’t substitutes for who and what you are

  2. Understand your own beliefs; can’t expect people to follow you if you don’t know what you believe

Affirm shared value

  1. Honor diversity but find the common core

  2. Shared values are the organization’s promise

  3. Shared values are important, but not at the expense of dissent
Note:Good leaders must be clear in their own mind about their values and must be able to not only articulate them clearly, but to live them as well.

As I have always know setting and example it important .But sometime as a followers must know leaders are still human .They have there limitation .But I felt a least followers want is it leader's best that all .

Challenge the Process

Search for opportunities

  1. Good leaders are fundamentally restless

  2. Proactivity produces better results than reactivity

  3. Training and the mental simulation that results can also result in unanticipated opportunities

Experiment and take risks

  1. Good, successful leaders are ones who are willing to take a chance, fail, learn and try something new

  2. Not every thing has to work every time, but always seek to generate small wins (they build into big ones)

Note:A good leader should also encourage initiative in others—it can result in new ways of looking at problems, can result in innovative solutions and greater commitment from members of an organization.

For me , I felt being initiative have some more benefits.For this point , it not only for leaders it for everyone .It is because in life , it not always about the results but the process .

As a christian , how can you know god better .It not a one days or one weeks things .It a life time maybe . It a process .

Now it the last one

Inspire a Shared Vision

Envision the future

  1. Exemplary leaders are forward-looking
  2. Requires two essentials:
    ¢Imagine the possibilities
    ¢Find a common purpose
Enlist others

  1. You can’t do this on your own (you wouldn’t be a leader)
  2. The best leaders are excellent listeners
Note:The vision of the future is a broad message to be conveyed and requires that you also look backward. It is important to see the big picture not just one-time occurrences

It the ended of the model .People who have been in church long enough will find all this 5 points familar .It is because we have been taught too .

For the vision part , where is own RP unit vision ah ?? Die le ah LOL ....No vision = Aimless Hmmm can I concluse that ? It just a question to thing about .

Today my mum prepared steamboat . Hmmm I am quite curious .So I asked "today special day ah ".....And I never expected her reply to be "Ya ,it my off day" LOL it super funny .I was stun a little .

Woah it been long seen i ever updates .LOL let me show my audiences some photos my class too during the last week



Just came back from ALC leadership camp , whole body ache sad case .But it was quite fruitful.I want to thank god for being the source of my strength there .

For me , I set my camp objective b4 i went there .As it was a leadership camp , it was to enlarge my comfort zone and learn some new skills there .

Day 1

For the first day ,they intro the K & P model .K & P model mean Kouzes & posner's 5 practices of exemplary leadership.These 5 practices I felt i had learn before in church . You will know why i as i go through it during the process of the camp.

Encourage the heart

Recognize contributions

  1. People within the organization are the ones who make things happen
  2. Personalize recognition

Celebrate the values and victories

  1. Celebrations don’t have to be public or elaborate, but they should be genuine acknowledgements of success (even small successes)
  2. Celebrations can create a sense of community
  3. Good leaders show they care

Note: Not everyone responds to recognition the same way; a good leader knows the people in the organization well enough to personalize the recognition

Interesting right ? In church , I remember we should encourage one another .If people had contributed in something words like "good job" or "great effort" should be said .

I also remember we should said thing to build people up .

For this point, it not only for leaders but followers too ...Because how good a team is .It based on all the people in the team.

Enable Other To Act

Foster collaboration

  1. Create a climate of trust
  2. Facilitate relationships
  3. Be willing to share information and resources
  4. One of the easiest ways to foster collaboration is by use of the word “we” instead of “I”
  5. Ask questions, listen and be willing to take advice
  6. Actively involve others

Strengthen others

  1. Enhance self-determination
  2. Develop competence and confidence
  3. Seeing the potential in them

Note:You cannot be an effective leader if you don’t trust the people you seek to lead and people won’t accept you as their leader if they don’t trust you. Trust is contagious; but if lost it is much more difficult (and sometimes impossible) to re-earn.

For this practice , I recalled a saying I heard in church .Which is , " I do , You See " , " I do , You do " and lastly " I See , You do "

For this , sometime you need to give other a chance to share their thinking .

Sorry audiences , I a little tired .......To be continued
