One last day in singapore, Tomorrow is the leadership conference in Hong Kong. Don't miss me guys ^^.
I'll try to keep this blog alive for the next 1 week since I'll be in LC.
Haven't finished preparations though. Lets' see... I only packed like one pair of jeans, 2 shorts and four shirts? Heh.. hope it's enough.. Toothbrush... Towels.. That till come with the hotel services i guess.. Bible.. Notepad.. Set of questions... ARGHH... Gotta prepare after meta tonight. It'll be damn late i dont know if i can still make it..
Bringing about 800 there inc. food and accomodation.
lets' see...
800 - 390(accomodation + food) - 40 (transport) - 40 (ocean park) - 50 (junk foodie) = 280 left for shopping.
Idk if that would be enough.. High chance ill over spend also.. Bah..
Right this LC would be a rest for me, from my cg which i constantly have to worry for. I'll have a rest, away from this little island of singapore.
Hope i do bring back not just memmories but also teachings I am gonna get from the people there. I do hope i can sharpen my skills and my attitude to want to serve the kingdom of God with all my heart and soul. May this LC really allow me to take a week of pure exposure to God!
Something i prepared weeks ago:
Leadership
Definations:
John C.Maxwell:
Leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less.
Warren Bennis:
Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential.
Characteristics of a strategic leader.
Strategic leaders are able to picture a range of possibilities several stages ahead of the current phase of development.
Strategies developed will lead to tactics which will need to be engaged with, and succeed in the real world.
These strategies developed will lead to tactics which will need to be engaged with, and succeed in the real word.
Strategies must be developed based on a releastic appraisal of the environment. The resources at disposal, and the opportunities that exist.
Strategic leaders have great understanding and patience to wait until the timing is right to make a major intervention, and have the boldness to strike decisively when the moment is right.
Current works are focused on the future. Invests time in developing people who are able to lead after the leader moves on. Ensures that his people are disciplined to work towards the goals set even as the leader is not around.
Conclusion:
Strategic leaders are similar to good chess players, who plan several stages ahead. They ensure gainful opportunities are siezed and are releastic.
Servant leadership
A result of being broken in the right place, in the soul, yields a leader with the heart of a servant.
Servant leaders are motivational leaders who seek to maximise the potential of individuals.
A servant leader is not as foceful or powerful as it seems as compared to non-servant leaders. They are not wimps ^^.
Servant leader does not lead out of pride, manipulation and force.
You must first be a servant in order to become a servant-leader.
The servant seeks to benefit other people than selfish desires.
____Leader______________________Collaborators_
If we place leaders on a single line with others in the leadership relationship, the implication is that there is none higher or lower, but all are peers in an influence relationship.
The amount of ones' influence is represented by ones' length on the line. The wider the line, the greater the influence.
No-one is higher or lower, just different.
In leadership, the leader fills the key role int he group by playing the most vital role because without this person, the quality of the relationship would be severely reduced.
The servant leader is considered as a peer, just another part doing its' unique job.
"How am i leading?" "am i being effective?" " Am i potraying a servant's attitude in the process?"
In conclusion, Leadership in the christian context is to become someone who is willing to take up his own cross and lead in a way that influences others to do the same by depicting its' unique qualities to the people.
