Day 3

14th March 2010 (Sunday)

Today’s session started with enthusiasm and it was wonderful. Ann De Boer was presenter and she gave us lot of training on the right type of leadership style and organization. We were shown the results of the survey that we had to complete using HBDI tool and this results clearly indicates to one what kind of leader he/she is and areas in which one needs improving

What have I learned for the day

During this session, I have learned how to be a good leader and how to behave in my work environment. During the second lesson on Campbell Leadership tool, we learned how to use this tool to conduct self inspection and learn of our weak points and strong points and thereafter create personal plan on how to improve yourself as a better leader personally and professionally.

What I intend doing with this new acquired knowledge

The knowledge acquired for the day will allow me to be in a position to enhance the relationship with my colleagues and subordinates and understand people better and also allow me to improve my leadership style. As one of my KPA is to conduct community engagement, as I have identified one of the problems which leads most of the schools in Mamelodi to perform badly and this is a result lack of leadership and direction from education authorities (GDE), I will make one of my mission to enhance the skills of school principals in Mamelodi by providing workshops for them to equip them with skills.
