Leadership and Team Building

(Narrative Report)

Leadership is not about just leading a group it takes

courage and you must have the capacity to lead for you to be a
good leader. Being a leading is not a passion it is an obligation
and responsibility. You must feel the feeling of being committed
in your organization. In a simplest manner, every one of us is a
leader, a leader of ourselves. Our body is following our mind for
our life to become more comfortable. This simple situation brings
us to the bar of opinion but lead us to the real situation. When
our mind dictate our body what to do about there is always
authority, power and influence. Just like in society, the leader
is the head of the citizenry. To rule the people, a leader must
have the capacity to lead and have the authority, power and
influence for the welfare of the people. The kind of leadership
will depend on him, if it will be either a good or a bad
leadership.

Last December 11, 12 & 13, 2015 we attended the Leadership

and Team Building activity organized and sponsored by the
Federation of Student Council, held at Partido State University -
Gymnasium (main campus). The activity was attended by the
officers of each organization in the different campuses of PSU
such as San Jose, Tinambac, Caramoan, Lagonoy, Sagñay, Salogon
and Goa campus.

Leadership and Team building Training with the theme,

"Leadership that Counts" was lead to us by the Campus Life. This
3 days activity aims to inform students of the characteristics of
effective leaders, inspire students to become Godly and ethical
leaders, involve students toward effective leadership. The
activities begin with a simple program. The president of
University - Dr. Raul Bradecina talks and gives his inspiring
message. Ate Chay Diongco, one of the organizers also gives a
message.

Before the activity began, the organizers give first the

house rules to be follow by the participants. We started our
activity in the Friday afternoon. We had an orientation seminar
regarding the flow of the activities; the recreational activities
– team – building. We woke up early in the morning, it’s Sunday,
we had a morning warm up / exercise, followed by the breakfast,
and then taking a bath, afterwards we come up with the activity
proper. We had several seminars during that team- building. These
seminars help us a lot in realizing our main purpose in life.
This entails the thinking of how are we responsible in our day –
to –day living? If we are going to evaluate that was a very
inspiring topic in the seminars. The topics more focused on the
significance of God in our life. I’ve realized that time,
leaderships without God is nothing. We need to put God first in
everything we do so he can guide us the right path that we are
looking for.

The following day, we had experience the team-building

activities that lead us realized how to become a good and
responsible leader, on how to be a follower, and on how to cope
with the challenges that may come. The team-building activity
includes the following games: picture perfect, food charade,
arrange your selves according to what he said and the
presentation of the yells. The games aim to develop the
cooperation and unity of each team. During that time the
participants had a chance to meet a lot of friends and deal &
socialize to different kind of people.

The last day of the activity, was one of the most enjoyable
part because of the activities such as Poster Making, Proposal
Making, Group Presentation of each campuses/colleges, giving
messages through the secret letters and also sharing of the
experiences and what have learned.

The activities of the team-building: “Leadership that

Counts” was one of the good and worth it activity I’ve attended.
Participants learn a lot of things and help them be a good and
responsible leader which may result to the good future of their
organizations. They acquire the knowledge and leanings which can
be apply on their day-to-day living.
