the purpose as stated on Republic Act No.7077 and PD
No. 1706
Republic Act No.7077

Reservist Act provided for organization, training and
utilization of reservists, referred to in the Act as "Citizen
Soldiers"
Presidential Decree No. 1706

citizens and specified three categories of national
service: civic welfare service, law enforcement service
and military service.
The National Service Training Program ( NSTP) is defined
under Republic act No. 9163, section 3 as a program
aimed at enhancing Civic consciousness and defense
preparedness in the youth by developing the ethics of
service and patriotism while undergoing the ethics of
service and patriotism while undergoing training in any
of its three program proponents.
Since NSTP requires training, civic consciousness can be
enhanced by doing community immersion which is an
integral part of Civic Welfare Training Service ( CWTS)
and Literacy Training Service (LTS) while defense
preparedness is enhanced through the Reserve Officer
Training Course
( ROTC).
Distinctive Feature of CWTS, LTS and ROTC

Boost Your Self Confidence
Confidence
Building a successful business/ workforce requires a
thick skin and unshakable confidence in your ability to
overcome obstacles.
Here are 10 things you can do to build up your self-
confidence.
1. Visualize yourself as you want to be
“What the mind can conceive and believe it can
achieve.”
-- Napoleon Hill
 Visualization is the technique of seeing an image of
yourself that you are proud of, in your own mind.
 When we struggle with low self-confidence, we
have a poor perception of ourselves that is often
inaccurate.
 Practice visualizing a fantastic version of yourself,
achieving your goals.
2. Affirm yourself
"Affirmations are a powerful tool to deliberately install
desired beliefs about yourself." -- Nikki Carnevale
 We tend to behave in accordance with our own
self-image. The trick to making lasting change is to
change how you view yourself.
 Affirmation are positive and uplifting statements
that we say to ourselves.
 These are normally more effective if said out loud
so that you can hear yourself say it. We tend to
believe whatever we tell ourselves constantly.
 For example, if you hate your own physical
appearance, practice saying something that you
appreciate or like about yourself when you next
look in the mirror.
Affirm
 To get your brain to accept your positive
statements more quickly, phrase your affirmations
as questions such as, “Why am I so good at making
deals?” instead of “I am so good at making deals.”
 Our brains are biologically wired to seek answers to
questions, without analyzing whether the question
is valid or not.
3. Do one thing that scares you every day
“If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world
is too. Do not overestimate the competition and
underestimate yourself. You are better than you
think.” --
T. Harv Eker
 The best way to overcome fear is to face it head-
on. By doing something that scares you every day
and gaining confidence from every experience, you
will see your self-confidence soar.
 So get out of your comfort zone and face your
fears!
4. Question your inner critic
“You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it
hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what
happens.” -- Louise L. Hay
 Some of the harshest comments that we get come
from ourselves, via the "voice of the inner critic." If
you struggle with low self-confidence, there is a
possibility that your inner critic has become
overactive and inaccurate;
 Find opportunities to congratulate, compliment
and reward yourself, even for the smallest
successes.
5. Take the 100 days of rejection challenge
“No one can make you feel inferior without your
consent.” -- Eleanor Roosevelt
 Desensitize yourself to rejection
6. Set yourself up to win
“To establish true self-confidence, we must concentrate
on our successes and forget about the failures and the
negatives in our lives.”
-- Denis Waitley
 Start by setting yourself small goals that you can
win easily;
 Make sure that you also keep a list of all your
achievements, both large and small, to remind
yourself of the times that you have done well;
 Reflecting on the major milestones, projects and
goals you’ve achieved is a great way to reinforce
confidence in your skills.
7. Help someone else
 Helping someone else often enables us to forget
about ourselves and to feel grateful for what we
have. It also feels good when you are able to make
a difference for someone else.
 Instead of focusing on your own weaknesses,
volunteer to mentor, assist or teach another, and
you'll see your self-confidence grow automatically
in the process.
8. Care for yourself
“Self-care is never a selfish act -- it is simply good
stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on
earth to offer to others.” -- Parker Palmer
 Self-confidence depends on a combination of good
physical health, emotional health and social health.
It is hard to feel good about yourself if you hate
your physique or constantly have low energy.
 Make time to cultivate great exercise, eating and
sleep habits.
 In addition, dress the way you want to feel. You
have heard the saying that “clothes make the
man.” Build your self-confidence by making the
effort to look after your own needs.
9. Create personal boundaries
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to
be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life,
but define yourself.”-- Harvey Fierstein
 Learn to say NO. Teach others to respect your
personal boundaries. If necessary, take classes on
how to be more assertive and learn to ask for what
you want. The more control and say that you have
 over your own life, the greater will be your self-
confidence.
10. Shift to an equality mentality
“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person
you are.” -- Marilyn Monroe
 People with low self-confidence see others as
better or more deserving than themselves. Instead
of carrying this perception, see yourself as being
equal to everyone. They are no better or more
deserving than you. Make a mental shift to an
equality mentality and you will automatically see
an improvement in your self-confidence.
5 Ways to Boost Your Self-Confidence
Benefits of Self-Confidence
 When you believe in yourself, you’ll be more willing
to try new things. Whether you apply for a
promotion or sign up for a cooking class, believing
in yourself is key to putting yourself out there.
 When you feel confident in yourself, you’re able to
devote your resources to the task at hand. Rather
than waste time and energy worrying that you
aren't good enough, you can devote your energy to
your efforts.
 So ultimately, you'll perform better when you feel
confident.
Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
 Researchers found that people who compared
themselves to others, experienced envy. And the
more envy they experienced, the worse they felt
about themselves. It can be a vicious cycle;
 Pay attention to times when you compare your
wealth, possessions, skills, achievements, and
attributes. Thinking that other people are better or
have more will erode your confidence in yourself;
 When you notice you are drawing comparisons,
remind yourself that doing so isn’t helpful.
Everyone is running their own race and life isn’t a
competition.
Take Care of Your Body
 It’s hard to feel good about yourself if you’re
abusing your body. Skimping on sleep, eating an
unhealthy diet, and refraining from exercise will
take a toll on your well-being. Studies consistently
show physical activity boosts confidence.
Practice Self-Compassion
 Self-compassion involves treating yourself with
kindness when you make a mistake, fail, or
experience a setback. Speaking to yourself harshly,
won’t motivate you to do better. In fact, studies
show it tends to have the opposite effect.
 Rather than beat yourself up or call yourself
names, try speaking to yourself like you’d talk to a
trusted friend. Cut yourself some slack, laugh at
yourself, and remind yourself that no one is
perfect.
Embrace Self-Doubt
 Practice facing some of your fears that stem from a
lack of self-confidence. If you’re afraid you’ll
embarrass yourself or you think that you’re going
to mess up, try it anyway;
 The best way to gain confidence is by doing.
Perform Behavioral Experiments
 Try doing things that your brain tells you that you
can’t;
 Tell yourself it’s just an experiment and see what
happens.
 You might learn that being a little anxious or
making a few mistakes isn’t as bad as you thought.
And each time you move forward you can gain
more confidence in yourself.
A Word From Verywell
 Everyone struggles with confidence issues at one
time or another. But if your self-confidence issues
interfere with your work, your social life, or your
education, seek professional help.
 Sometimes, low self-confidence stems from a
bigger issue, like a traumatic event from the past1.
At other times, it may be a symptom of a mental
health problem.
 And it is possible to have too much confidence. If
you’re overly confident in your abilities, you might
not take action.

Types of Leadership
Leadership style is the way a person uses power to
lead other people;
Research has identified a variety of leadership
styles based on the number of followers.
The most appropriate leadership style depends on
the function of the leader, the followers and the
situation.
1. Autocratic Leadership
In this leadership the leader holds all authority and
responsibility.
In this leadership, leaders make decisions on their own
without consulting subordinates.
They reach decisions, communicate them to
subordinates and expect prompt implementation.
An autocratic work environment normally has little or
no flexibility.
2. Democratic Leadership
In this leadership style, subordinates are involved in
making decisions;
This leadership is centered on subordinates’
contributions.
Communication is active upward and downward.
it entails the following: fairness, competence, creativity,
courage, intelligence and honesty.
3. Strategic Leadership Style
This style is geared to a wider audience at all levels who
want to create a high performance life, team or
organization.
4. Transformational Leadership
Transformational leadership is all about initiating
change in organizations, groups, oneself and others;
Transformational leaders motivate others to do more
than they originally intended and often even more than
they thought possible.;
They set more challenging expectations and typically
achieve a higher performance.
5. Team Leadership
Team leadership is about working with the hearts and
minds of all those involved.;
It also recognizes that teamwork may not always involve
trusting cooperative relationships.
6. Cross-Cultural Leadership
This form of leadership normally exists where there are
various cultures in the society.
One example of a cross-cultural leader in sports is
quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Mariota
Marcus.
His Hawaiian background caused him to be an
unpretentious player, in contrast to being a more
aggressive one, yet he was still successful
7. Facilitative Leadership
An effective facilitative leadership involves monitoring
group dynamics, as well as offering process suggestions
and interventions to help the group stay on track.
8. Laissez-faire Leadership
Laissez-faire leadership gives authority to employees.
According to research, this kind of leadership has been
consistently found to be the least satisfying and least
effective management style.
Delegating is necessary.
9. Transactional Leadership
This is a leadership style that maintains or continues the
status quo.
10. Coaching Leadership
Coaching leadership involves teaching and supervising
followers. A coaching leader is highly operational in
settings where results/performance require
improvement.

11. Charismatic Leadership
The charismatic leader manifests his or her
revolutionary power.
Charisma does not mean sheer behavioral change. It
actually involves a transformation of followers’ values
and beliefs.
Charismatic leaders tend to have powerful personalities
and attract huge followings.
12. Visionary Leadership
Most great and successful leaders have some sort of
vision for where they are going.
However, there are those who are highly visionary in
their leadership
Top 10 Leadership Qualities That Make Good Leaders
“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and
shows the way.”
Irrespective of how you define a leader, he or she can
prove to be a difference maker between success and
failure.
A good leader has a futuristic vision and knows how to
turn his ideas into real-world success stories
Honesty and Integrity
Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “The supreme quality
of leadership is unquestionably integrity.
Without it, no real success is possible, no matter
whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an
army, or in an office.”
Confidence
As a leader, you have to be oozing with confidence,
show some swagger and assertiveness to gain the
respect of your subordinates;
you should be confident enough to ensure that other
follow your commands.
If you are unsure about your own decisions and
qualities, then your subordinates will never follow you.
Inspire Others
Probably the most difficult job for a leader is to
persuade others to follow.
It can only be possible if you inspire your followers by
setting a good example.
When the going gets tough, they look up to you and see
how you react to the situation.;
As John Quincy Adams puts it, “If your actions inspire
others to dream more, learn more, do more and
become more, you are a leader.”
Commitment and Passion
Your teams look up to you and if you want them to give
them their all, you will have to be passionate about it
too;
If they feel that you are not fully committed or lacks
passion, then it would be an uphill task for the leader to
motivate your followers to achieve the goal.
Good Communicator
Until you clearly communicate your vision to your team
and tell them the strategy to achieve the goal, it will be
very difficult for you to get the results you want.
Simply put, if you are unable to communicate your
message effectively to your team, you can never be a
good leader.
A good communicator can be a good leader.
Words have the power to motivate people and make
them do the unthinkable.
If you use them effectively, you can also achieve better
results.
Decision-Making Capabilities
Decisions taken by leaders have a profound impact on
masses.
A leader should think long and hard before taking a
decision but once the decision is taken, stand by it.
Accountability
“A good leader takes little more than his share of the
blame and little less than his share of the credit.”
Make sure that every one of your subordinates is
accountable for what they are doing.
Delegation and Empowerment
You cannot do everything;
It is important for a leader to focus on key
responsibilities while leaving the rest to others.
By that, it means empowering your followers and
delegating tasks to them.
If you continue to micromanage your subordinates, it
will develop a lack of trust and more importantly, you
will not be able to focus on important matters, as you
should be.
Delegate tasks to your subordinates and see how they
perform.
Creativity and Innovation
In order to get ahead in today’s fast-paced world, a
leader must be creative and innovative at the same
time.
Creative thinking and constant innovation is what makes
you and your team stand out from the crowd.
Think out of the box to come up with unique ideas and
turn those ideas and goals into reality.
Empathy
Understanding the problems of your followers and
feeling their pain is the first step to become an effective
leader.
Even that is not enough until you work hard and provide
your followers with the suitable solution to their
problems.

Conclusion

To become a good leader, you must have all these

qualities but if you lack some of these qualities, then
you might struggle to make the mark in the world of
leadership. You will have to set a good example for
others to follow. That is where your commitment,
passion, empathy, honesty and integrity come into play.
Good communication skills and decision-making
capabilities also play a vital role in success and failure of
a leader. Lastly, innovation and creative thinking, as well
as the futuristic vision, are a couple of key traits
which make a leader stand out
