Grade 11 Leadership Workshop May 2010
Leaders have in the past had to make difficult decisions and face the job of inspiring others with very little information. College boys are facing challenges that are more dynamic and complex than the past. Therefore it is essential to help them individually as well as collectively to understand and manage these challenges. Our aim is to assist not only the seniors but all boys in the development of a concrete skill base that will enable them to be effective leaders in their schools & communities. Throughout the year we offer a range of structured experiences designed to: build trust, facilitate honest communication; promote wellness, self-respect, tolerance, and personal insight; develop leadership skills, explore drug free lifestyles, and provide an intensive opportunity to interact with healthy adult mentors.
Basic outline of this workshop:
Understanding the Leader and Leadership
What are the common understandings of what a Leader is and how this affects Leadership.
Pupils identify traits of leaders and leadership. Pupil activity will include group work, negotiation and presentation feedback.
Great Leaders
A wide range of leaders are discussed (sports, political, family, religious). What differentiates poor from good from great leaders?
The Serving Leader
Based on the concept of Servant Leadership. How can boys incorporate the concepts of servant leadership to become serving leaders in their school environments (Sports field, on the stage, in the class, at the hostel etc)
Personal Leadership
To develop them selves as serving leaders, the boys need to develop their own vision, purpose and mission.
