Input 2:

A. Self- Awareness and Personal Development through Human and Basic Values

Introduction

Many of us have a pretty low level of self- awareness. With the busy schedule, it might be
difficult to find time to think about our strength and weaknesses, drives and personalities, and habits and
values. Besides, many of us are just not inclined to spend much time on self-reflection. Even when
feedback is about ourselves is presented to us, we are not always open to it, because honest feedback is
not always flattering.

Self- Awareness opens the door to spiritual and personal growth. We have all the answers to the
questions about our lives and what we have to do learn how we can have an access to our wisdom

It begins with self-awareness by paying attention to our many senses, thoughts, feeling, and
intuition. We should going deep into our emotions to tap their sources. We should see our thinking and
how it creates our reality. Then we can discover our deepest essence.

Increasingly our level of awareness therefore, empowers us to make different choices. Not that it
will automatically do things differently. After all, some habits can be avoided. But over time, as we build
up these levels of catching ourselves doing wrong things, we will have the choices to alter our behavior,
eventually, before the next decision making comes.

So, in order to assess what you do, you must first become aware of where you place your inner
intention, what you are feeling and thinking about. The more frequently you do this, the more natural and
habitual it will become, and the more you will give yourself the chance to truly change your behavior.

28
SELF-AWARENESS

What is self- awareness?

According to Goleman, perhaps the most important emotional competence is self-awrareness-


knowing one’s internal states, preferences, resources and institutions.

Another psychotherapist puts it as “bringing to the conscious mind our understanding of the
compulsion that pushes us around”.

Marilyn vas Savant, simply calls it, “the art of waking up”, or realizing what you really are and
why you do the things you so, in the way you do them.

The following poem illustrates the continuing search of man for himself: (Palispis).
Assess how you picture out yourself in this concern.

Who Am I
Who am I? Who am I?
My clothes? My look? My mode?
Am I just a thing?
No!

Am I my parents? Brother? Friends?


Am I they ?
I think I am different from them
Just who am I? Am I my name?

My face? My bones? My breath?


My feelings? My thoughts? And memory?
Each of them is part of me.
But not me.

Who am I really? What is the truth?


I’m alive, enthusiastic, free and unique
Above all, like God, I live.
All this I am-my innermost being.
Who am I? Who am I?

29
What are the key areas of self-awareness?

Human beings are complex and diverse. To become self-aware, we should develop an understanding
of ourselves in many areas which include the following:

1. Personality

An understanding of our personality can help us find situations in which we will


thrive/survive, and can help us avoid situations in which we will experience too much stress.

2. Values
Values are qualities that we cherish as reference for our actions and behaviors in
particular situations.

3. Habits
These are the behaviors that we repeat routinely and often do automatically. Although we
would like to use them to help us interact effectively with and manage others, we can probably
identify at least one of our habits that decreases our effectiveness.

4. Needs
(connect Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and other psychologists’ psychological need)

Needs cause motivation, and when needs aren’t satisfied, they can cause frustration,
conflict and stress. One of the advantages of knowing which needs exert the strongest influence in
our own behaviors is the ability to understand how they affect our interpersonal relationship.

5. Emotions
Understanding your own feelings, what cause them, and how they make an impact to
your thoughts and actions are indications of emotional self-awareness.

30
How does self- awareness make an individual more effective?

Self-awareness helps individuals identify gaps that promote skills development, identifying these
gaps, the following can be improved and enhanced:
1. Skills development
2. Knowing ones strength and weakness
3. Developing intuitive decision-making skills
4. Stress management our coping with stress effectively
5. Self- motivation
6. Leadership

You can become more self-aware by using or applying the following means:
1. Seeking feedback from the people who know you
2. Completing self-assessment surveys like questionnaires
3. Hiring an expert like professional counselor or executive coach

32
The Basic Values of the Filipino People Based on the 1987 Philippine Constitution
(EPPC Modules on Good Citizenship Values)

PREAMBLE

We, the sovereign people, imploring the almighty God, in order to build a just and human society and
establish a Government that shall embody our ideas and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve
and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves our prosperity the blessings of independence and
democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do
ordain and promulgate this constitution.

Meaning of Preamble
The term preamble is derived from the Latin word “preambulare” which means “to walk before”. It is the
prologue of constitution. Based from the Preamble, the following basic value is derived:

33
The Maka- Diyos Cluster

Faith in the Almighty God


The Bible says,” But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe
that He is, and that He rewards those who diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6)

Respect for Life


Cathy Bette says’ “Life is raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something
beautiful, debase it into ugliness. It’s in our hands” Hence, “treat life with respect, and life itself will
reveal its beauty to you” (Bro Andrew Maria MMHC)

Order
It is the sanity of mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of state. As the beams of
the house, as the bones of the body, so is order to all things” (Southey). And what is greatest, “God is not
the God of disorder but of peace” (Corinthians 14:33)

Work
Confucius says,” Give fish to a man he will have food to eat for a day; teach him how to fish and he shall
have food throughout his life time.” And, if Man will not work, he shall not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10)

Concern for the Family and Future Generations


“The family is an essential factor in the general, social and even political life. Constant living together of
husband and wife, and of parents and children, contributes to the development of a strong sense of duty,
of an aptitude of heroic sacrifices, and of the love by future generations of the traditional and moral
conquest of those who preceded them. (Tolentino, id., citing 3 Castan 428-4310)

34
The MAKA-TAO Cluster

Love
“When man has love, he is no longer at the mercy of forces greater than himself, so he, himself
becomes the powerful force” (Leo Buscaglia). Moreover, “love is the will to extend oneself for the
purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth” (M. Scott Peck)
Moral: Love is the powerful force in nurturing man.

Freedom

According to Pope John Paul II, “freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the
right to do what we ought”.

Peace

It is always great to remember, what the Bible says, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be
called children of God” (Mt 5:9);

An unknown author wrote about the value of peace as such:

Juanito was an idealistic person. He wanted everybody to be happy and lead meaningful lives. So
one day, he stride to church and prayed hard for World Peace. He continued praying for the same
intention for a year yet nothing seemed to change.

One day, he decided to narrow down his scope and pray for peace in His own country instead. He
prayed for the same intention for another year with no significant result.

Finally, on the verge of frustration he decided to pray for peace within his family instead. He kept
this intention for another year yet violence and disturbance still seemed to be in an upsurge.

Anxious for his prayer to be finally heard, he decided to pray for peace in his family instead. He
kept this intention for another year with no significant result.

Finally, on the verge of frustration he decided to pray for peace. He prayed for this intention for
the next year. Each time he did so, he felt more at peace with himself and his personal issues, his family,
his neighbors until it reached a point in time that Juanito was considered a man of peace, a friend of
everybody especially of the neediest among his countrymen.

Moral lesson: Let there be peace on earth… and let it begin with me.

The UNESCO Constitution also reminds us that, “since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in
the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed”.

Moral lesson: Let the peace of the nation begins in the minds of man.

35
Truth

It is worthwhile to be familiar and understand some of the following famous quotation and
anecdotes which make us better and wiser persons:

A. Quotations
"A man who seeks truth and loves it must be reckoned precious to any human society”
(Frederick the Great)
“An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens”
(Thomas Jefferson)
“No legacy is as rich as honesty” (William Shakespeare)

B. Anecdotes (compiled by J. Maurus)


When Mahatma Gandhi appeared for the London Matriculation Examination, the paper
on general knowledge contained the following questions: “What is more golden than gold?”

Justice

According to Martin Luther King Jr., injustice anywhere is to treat justice everywhere.

To Jimmy Carter, the law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive
province of judges and juries. In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books; but
a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect.

In Matthew 7:12, it says, “Treat others the way you want to have them treat you”.

And by the Institute for Development Education Center for Research Communication, justice is
giving every man his due.

Moral lesson: Giving justice to anyone is a fair treatment to everyone

36
The MAKA-BAYAN Cluster

Unity

The value of unity can be realized by practicing the virtues stated in the following quotations:

“Behold how good and pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity (Psalms 133.1)

“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself.
That house will not be able to stand” (Mark 3:24-25)

“Make my joy complete by being of the same kind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on
one purpose” (Philippians 2.2)

“As a body in one though it has many parts, and all parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also
Christ” (1Corinthians) 12-12)

“Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all” (Alexander the Great)

Equality

To appreciate the value if equality, consider this anecdote;

Skulls
Andrew Maria Almonte, MMHC

One day, a group of skulls in a cemetery had a conversation.


“Hey,’said a skull to another, “who were you when you were alive?
“Yes, I was once his slave,” replied another skull. “He was a tyrant, a ruthless and merciless king!”
I am your king remember?”
“Shut up!” shouted the slave-skull. “You are no longer my king nor am I your slave anymore!
We are the same now- rotten skulls!”

Moral: Each man may differ in worldly stature, but each one bears the same amount of dignity as
another and all share one common destiny.

37
Respect for the Law and Government

“When people have much respect for law and the government, the government is unquestionably
stable”. Hence every citizen must always seek to be contributory for stability.

The sense of respect for the law and government maybe interpreted and in different point of
views, such as:

 The law is not meant to curtail freedom; it is meant to ensure that every citizen acts responsibly
while exercising his freedom.
 The law and the government are not meant to slave people; they are meant to establish honor in
the society, and by their duly constituted powers free people from the bondage of poverty,
ignorance, insecurity, violence, and disregard.
 The law and the government should not serve the interest of a few, especially those who
preferential option to serve and pursue the interests of the poor and less-fortunate members of
society. Hence, Law and Government should lead all citizens to be charitable to others especially
those in most need of help, support and protection.
 The nature of laws is to provide sanctions for the irresponsible practice of freedom. For
punishment/penalty as a disciplinary measure when a policy law is violated. In the final analysis,
laws and government are meant to institute order in a society that has part of the society’s effort
to form its members into responsible, conscientious, dignified and charitable persons.
 Love is the perfection of the law. Fear and intimidation should not be our motivations when we
obey the law and respect the mandate of the government. Rather, we should find it in ourselves to
love the Law and the Government as they seek to protect our rights and dignity as persons.
 Our own respect for Law and Government should stem from the ultimate law of the heart: that of
mutual respect, charity and love for others.

Moral: As a good citizen, one must have respect for Law and Government, and always seek to be
contributory for the nation’s stability.

Patriotism

The value of patriotism can be expressed in the following manner:

I am Filipino, proud and true. I honor my heritage and take pride in my commitment to be
a good citizen in my daily life. I shall from here on, dedicate myself to perform simple act of heroism that
nevertheless will have positive effects in the lives of my countrymen. I shall be mindful of my country’s
interest in my dealings; that I may not harm her by going into unfair or illegal transactions, a citizen
upholding her laws, preserving her dignity and promoting her welfare.

Moral: Let us value the spirit of Patriotism as a means of showing our love for our country.

38
Promotion of Common Good

Everyone in a group of people shares the same aspiration of having a united community and
hopes to have a common concern for the good of everybody. To support this concept, one has to be
concerned for the welfare of others throughout his life. One must serve the interest of the common good
before himself. He has to be an inspiration for the development of others. A well genuine concern and
love for others makes everyone to live truly for love, understanding, and unity to ensure progress. Hence,
one must be committed to the preservation and promotion of the common good that will give value to
other people’s lives at all times.

The MAKA- KALIKASAN

Concern for the environment

THE GIVING TREE


Fr. Benigno P. Beltran, SVD

Once there was a tree… and she loved a little boy. And everyday the boy would gather her leaves,
make them into a crown and play king of the forest. The boy would also play hide and seek, climb her
branches and eat her mangoes. At the end of the day when he was tired, the boy would sleep in her shade.
And the boy loved the tree… very much… and the tree was very happy.

But the time went on… the boy grew older. And the tree was left alone. Then one day the boy
went to the tree who said: “Come, boy, come and climb up my trunk, swing from my branches, eat my
mangoes, play in the shade and be happy.”

But the boy stayed away for the long time…Then one day the boy came back to the tree who
shook with joy and said: “Come, boy, come and climb up my trunk, swing from my branches, eat my
mangoes, play in the shade and be happy. “I am too busy to climb trees”, said the boy. “I want a house to
keep me warm.” “I want a wife and children and so I need a house. Can you give me a house?” “I have no
house, said the tree, “The forest is my house, but you may cut off my branches and build a house.” And so
the boy cut off her branches and carried them away to build his house. And the tree was happy.

But the boy stayed away for a long time…Then one day the boy came back and the tree was so
happy that she should barely speak. “Come boy, “she whispered, “come and play.” “I am too old to play,”
said the boy. “I want a boat that will take me far away from her. Can you give me a boat” “Cut down my
trunk and make a boat,” said the tree. “Then you can sail away… and be happy”. And so the boy cut
down the trunk and make a boat,” said the tree. “Then you can sail away… and be happy”. And so the
boy cut down the trunk and made a boat and sailed away. And the tree was happy… but not really.

And after a time, the boy came back again. “I am sorry, boy,” said the tree, “but I have nothing
left to give you… my mangoes are gone.” My teeth are too weak for mangoes” said the boy. “My
branches are gone,” Said the tree. “You cannot swing on them.” I am too old to swing on branches.” said
the boy. “My trunk is gone,” said the tree. “You cannot climb.” “I am too tired to climb,” said the boy. “I
am sorry,” sighed the tree. “I wish that I could give you something… but I have nothing left. I am just an
old stump. I am sorry.” “I don’t need very much now,” said the boy, “Just a quiet place to sit and rest. I
am very tired.” “Well” said the tree, straightening herself up as much as she could, well, an old stump is
good for sitting and resting. Come, boy, sit down and rest.” And the boy did and the tree was happy.

Moral: Mother Nature is an all-giving mother. While she gives fully, man abuses her relentlessly. It
is time that we care for ailing Mother Nature so that she will regain her beauty and strength once
again, enabling her life and abundance with us.

2. After your sharing, write your leadership capability description as a leader on the

INPUTS:

The following are the different meaning and types as maybe applied by individuals.

Leadership is a process of giving control, guidance, headship, direction and governance


to a group or organization. It is a key dynamic factor that motivates and coordinates
organizations to accomplish their objectives. Without being inspired by a leader, the whole
organization or department might drift along with no definite focus on key objectives such as
trying to improve the worker’s safety.

Leadership- is the art of influencing and directing others to do assigned tasks or goals, in
such a way to attain them. There is obedience, respect, loyalty and cooperation. Leadership can
be exercised by anyone irrespective of the framework of command. Also, it is a process of
guiding and directing the behavior of the people in the work environment.

Leadership is the ability to inspire, to build confidence and gain support among the
people to attain organizational goals.

Leader as a Guide is one who assumes the role of a director, organizer, mentor, guru or
adviser.

Leader as a Frontrunner is one who can spearhead, shading light, a trailblazer, and
groundbreaker.

Leader as a Head is one who can be called as chief, manager, superior, principal, boss
and superior.

Servant Leadership is a kind of servant hood and done as a sense of vocation. It also
implies stewardship of good citizenship and community. It is a means of serving others more
than oneself…

April et al., (2000) support the notion of servant leadership in complex organizations,
where a major role of the leader is to synthesize and develop a sense of community in the
organization, with shared power and decision making and group-oriented approaches. Servant
leadership has a long pedigree of religion and involves a sense of servant hood, with leadership

58
as a state of being (a sense of vocation). It also implies stewardship (a recognition of shared
ownership and interdependence rather than personal ownership of the organization), one
consequence of which is a sense of citizenship and community. The servant leader facilities the
surfacing of other ideas and networks, and helps to create their futures.

Nature of Leadership

There are certain characteristics found in some people that seem to naturally put them in
a position where they’re looked up as a leader. Whether in fact a person is born a leader or
develop skills and abilities to become a leader is open for debate. There are some clear
leadership characteristics that are found in a good personality. How often have you heard the
comment, “He or she is a born leader?”

Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and will power, you can become
an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never-ending process of self-study,
education, training, and experience. Leaders carry out this process by applying the leadership
attributes, such as beliefs, value, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills.

To inspire your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain things you must
be, know and do. These do not come naturally, but are acquired through continual work and
study. Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective
and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent.

BLESSED IS THE LEADER WHO LEADS FOR THE GOOD OF THE MOST
CONCERNED, AND NOT FOR THE PERSONAL GRATIFICATION OF HIS OWN
IDEAS.

PRINCIPLES OF SERVANT LEADERSHIP

According to Spears (2002) there are 8 principles about Servant Leadership. Read carefully, each
principle internalizes and share together its meaning as a group. Do this in 10 minutes. Trainer
will give enrichment on the topic especially on how these principles contribute to the
development of the youth leadership potentials.

INPUTS:

1. LISTENING- The servant leader seek to identify the will of the group and helps clarify
that will. He or she will seek to listen respectively to what is being said.

2. EMPATHY- The servant leader strives to understand and empathize with others. People
need to be accepted and recognized for their special unique spirits.

3. HEALING- One of the greatest strengths of a servant leader is the potential of healing
one’s self and others because many people have broken spirits and have suffered from a
variety of emotional hurts.

4. AWARENESS- It aids one in understanding issue involving ethics and values and view
most situations from a more integrated and holistic position.

5. PERSUASION- Another characteristic of servant leader is a primary reliance on


persuasion rather than positional authority in making decisions with an organization.

6. CONCEPTUALIZATION- Servant leaders seek to nurture their abilities to “dream


great dreams”. The ability to look at problems from a conceptualized perspective means
that one must think beyond today’s realities.

7. FORESIGHT- This enables the servant leader to understand the lessons from the past
realities to the present and the likely consequence of a decision for the future.

8. BUILDING COMMUNITY- Servant Leadership suggests that the true community can
be created among those who work in business and other institutions.

The law of service: He who wishes to live long must serve, but he who wishes to rule does
not live long”- Hesse, “Journey to the East.” The new trend now leadership is what you call
“Servant Leadership. This emanated from pious doctrines where Jesus Christ is the focus subject
as the best model of servant leader as leader who humbled himself to serve His disciples
especially when he performed the “washing of the feet” which symbolizes humility of Christ.

62
Servant Leadership emphasizes
collaboration, trust, empathy, and
the ethical use of power

At heart, the individual is a servant


first, making the conscious decision
to lead in order to better serve
others, not to increase his own
power.

The objective is to enhance the growth of individuals in the


organization and the interest teamwork and personal involvement.

AS A GOOD SERVANT,
SERVE WITH
HUMITLITY AND
HUMBLENESS

63
Input 5

Qualities of Servant Leaders

Instruction:

The following are the qualities of a servant leader. Carefully read and share ideas about
them. As a group cite situations to illustrate these qualities. Place your answers in ½ sheet of
Manila paper according to the sequence as listed below. Trainer will provide enhancement to the
topic for a deeper understanding.

INPUTS:

1. Puts others ahead of his own agenda


The first mark of servant hood is the ability to put others ahead of yourself and
your personal desires.

2. Possesses the confidence to serve


The real heart of servant hood is security. Show me someone who thinks he is too
important to serve and I’ll show you someone who is basically insecure. How we treat
others is really a reflection of how we think of ourselves. Philosopher-poet Eric Hoffler
captured that thought.

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves, we do unto
others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive
others when we forgive ourselves. It is not love of self but hatred of self which is at the
root of the troubles that afflict our world.

The Law of Empowerment says that only secure leaders give power to others. It is
also true that only secure leaders exhibit servant hood.

3. Initiates service to others


It is a way of serving without being compelled. It manifests one’s concern to do
things foe others especially during crisis. You can really see the heart of someone who
initiates service to others. Great leaders see the need, seize the opportunity and serve
without expecting anything in return.

4. Is not position- conscious


Servant leaders don’t focus on rank or position. When Colonel Norman
Schwarzkopf stepped into the minefield, rank was the thing on his mind. He was one
person trying to help another. If anything, being the leader gave him a greater sense of
obligation to serve.

5. Serve out of Love


Servant hood is not motivated by manipulation of self- promotion. It is fueled
with love (willingness to serve). In the end, the extent of your influence depends on the

64
depth of your concern for others. That is why it is important for leaders to be willing to
serve.

To internalize deeper meaning of servant leadership, one must apply the following process:

REFLECTING ON IT

As a leader, one must reflect about himself to determine who he is a person and identify
his inner leadership intention.

“Where is your heart when it comes to serving others? Do you desire to become a leader
for the perks and benefits? Or are you motivated by manipulation of self-promotion.

If you really want to become the kind of leader that people want to follow, you will have
to settle the issue of servant hood. If your attitude is to be served rather than to serve, you may be
headed for trouble. If this is an issue in your life, then heed this advice.

 Stop lording people, and start listening to them


 Role play for advancement, and start risking your own interests for other’s benefit
 Stop seeking your own way, and start serving others
 It is true that one who would be great must be like the least and servant of all…

BRINGING IT HOME

To improve your skill in servant hood, you must do the following:

 Perform small acts. When was the last time you performed acts of kindness to others?
Start with those closest to you: your spouse, children, and parents. Find ways today to do
small things that show others you care.

 Learn to walk slowly through the crowd. One of the greatest lesson I learned as a young
leader came from my father. I call it walking slowly through the crowd. The next leagues,
or employees, make it your goal to connect with others by circulating among them and
talking to people. Focus on each person you meet. Learn his name. If you know it
already, make your agenda of getting to know each person’s needs and wants and desires.
Then later when you go home, make a note to yourself to do something beneficial for half
a dozen of those people.

 Move into action. If an attitude of servant hood is conspicuously absent from your life,
the best way to acquire is to start serving. Begin serving with your body and your heart
will catch up. Sign up to serve others for six months at your Church, a community agency
of a volunteer organization. If your heart changes then it works.

65
DAILY TAKE-AWAY

Albert Schweitzer wisely stated, “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I
know. The ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how
to serve.” If you want to lead on the highest level, be willing to serve on the lowest.

In a truest sense, servant hood is the gift of doing good for others which sometimes
include the exclusion of meeting personal needs. Servants look for ways to do for others both
within and beyond the congregation and community. Servants do not choose to serve, but serve
from a sense of identity and call. Gifted servants never feel put upon or taken advantage of, but
see each opportunity to do for others as a way to be true to self and in service of others. As
leaders, the need to reflect on it, bring it home and take it away daily is a great passion for going
with one’s inner intention for the good of others.

66
Input 6

Styles of Leadership

Using old newspaper, make a tall, strong, creative tower in 15 minutes. The secretary will
take note of any actions, reactions or any observations being done by the group. Relate it with
the different styles of leadership as presented in the activity workshop. Consider the different
behaviors done by the group.

INPUTS:

Styles of leadership

1. Authoritarian Leadership- The leader leads his mean by means of his rank position. It
is self-centered type of leadership where he believes he is the only one capable of
directing his subordinates.

2. Paternalistic Leadership- The leader leads his men by always setting example. This
type of a leader manifests an example of a father, who seems to be always after the
welfare of his children.

3. Participative Leadership- the leader makes his men participate actively in the task of
the organization but the leader reserves the right to make final decision on critical
matters.

4. Lassie- Faire Leadership- The leader leaves decision making to his subordinates. He
will give assignments, and then it is up for his men to accomplish the task in whatever
manner they can do it.

There are no specific styles of leadership that would guarantee efficiency and
effectiveness of the operation/mission of a certain group or organization. The adoption of a
particular leadership style depends on the nature of the leader, members and work of a certain
organization. Leadership style is the manner and approach of providing direction,
implementation of plans, and motivating people.
