Planning and Evaluation Seminar: January 11, 2016 (Day 1)

MINUTES OF THE MEETING:

1. EXPECTATION SETTING
a. What else would you like to discuss from PlEvSem?
ConCon (Hamoy): Will there be a particular segment
where ConCon would get to talk? (Yes, other than other
updates, segments allotted for ATF also)
SOSE Sec-Treas (Carmela): Issues of the Philippines and
the world that Sanggunian needs to talk about.
DSWS (Mark L.): What is the future of Sanggunian,
considering that we have had 3 consecutive years of the
failure of elections? Issues within Sanggunian, why is it
working/not, what is working? Projects are easy to talk
about, but about the institution is another story. Why is
Sanggunian in this state and what can we do to get out of
it?
SOSE Sec-Treas (Carmela): Discuss why we need to do
those projects or initiatives, reinforce what we want to do
for the rest of the year.
b. What you hope the team can accomplish from this planning and
evaluation seminar?
BS LfSci Representative (Hamoy): Better communication
within and outside the units
ConCon (Hamoy): Meetings are the least productive
events in an institution, creative and efficient ways of
communication & project management.
MGT Representative (Ofi): Information with what
Sanggunian is doing, readily made available to
constituents
3 SOH CB (Koko): Find spaces for actual and concrete
collaboration and action
2. LEADERSHIP LIFELINE
a. Charting of significant/impactful/important moments in life
Self: We are all compelled by decisions and situations to
lead
Self: Key discoveries: Nostalgia with being a leader, its
not about the commitments
Self: Everyone had their low zone, without it you would
not appreciate the high points.
Others: Everybody can be a leader
Others: Its not something sporadic, it takes time.

b. Synthesis: What do these all mean to you as a leader of the

Sanggunian/as a Sanggunian officer?
There is a learning curve, you gain more as you
experience more.
One point does not lead to a concrete next point, you
make your own path. We can disengage from our high/low
points in order to discover something new.
At the end of the day, we are all somehow inevitably
overestimate/underestimate people. We have the
capacity to do great things, be open to trusting people
that they may perform well, because there is a potential
to do so much more together.
Gratitude, the Sanggunian is a grateful bunch. It turns
what we have into enough, and more.
