Tomorrow early in the morning I'll be off for a camp known as LTC, Leaders of Tomorrow Camp. Basically it's a camp for appointment holders in clubs to attend. I hope I'll learn something out of this camp. For now I don't really see something that I can learn from but hopefully it doesn't turn out like how I see.
I am totally not excited for this camp. I just finished drowning myself in working for a big project ran by Scouts HQ. I just want a day off whereby I do whatever I want to do. It seems like this day will only come on next week.
Anyway recently I picked up a book titled "Powerful leadership". I believe my bro bought it and have read finished. So I read this book now to further enhance myself to be a better leader. There are total 7 essential needs to change/have in order for my leadership to be powerful. As of my position right now I can really relate to the book better than anything else. I am excited to put this 7 essential needs into practice and see how it goes. I want to excel. I want to make a difference. It's either I make it or break it. Therefore I want to make it.
Earlier today I had my LTC briefing and there are two speakers for the day. One the SP principal and a very familiar face to every one, Steven Chia, news reporter for channels news asia Prime time morning.
The two of them gave a very heart-warming speech to me. Because I can really relate to what they are saying. I can truly understand what they are saying. One lesson I learn today, to be a great leader first it must come from within the heart.
I realise that after reading the book I become more focused on what I want to achieve as the President of SP Rover. I want to make damn sure that I am doing the right and good thing. I want to fully ultilize my people and maximise their potiential. I want them to make a difference together with me.
This is what management is all about. The excitement of what comes tomorrow. The excitement of what you want to make of tomorrow. The excitement of what can make your people excited for tomorrow.
Either we make it or break it.
