Wednesday 16th & Thursday 17th, March 2016 Room KD1.28 & KD1.29 @9am, a special training program on “Leadership and Management Training” was organized by Gurdish Sandhu using by a Consultant, Gezz Zwanenber of Corporate Coach Group, London. And many staff of IT Service Department participated with us fellows.
The training explain to us “How we can get the best from yourself and others?” by using the philosophy of Rational Optimism which proposed that "in order to get the best from yourself and others be clear, be rational, and be positive".
Participants were encouraged to develop six major qualities of rational optimism which included:
1. clarity of purpose: Goal Focus
3. rational planning: time management, prioritization and preparation
4. rational conflict management
5. inspiring and motivating yourself (personal management)
6. inspiring and motivating others (leadership qualities)
Zwanenber give useful illustration and life experiences to portray some points which includes among other things;
a) that we should always set SMART goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely;
b) before speaking (or writing), work out the meaning of your most important terms by using the principle of CG4D (context, general class name, 4 distinguishing characteristics of your term);
· Use the P-list activity for productive time management (i.e. planning ahead, prioritization, practice, perfecting, personal initiative, projection of possible problems, etc.)
· Whenever in conflict, use ONLY OBJECTIVE language; always distinguish between "reasons" and "excuses" and have a different policy for each.
· create more energy by the proper use of sleep, nutrition and exercise; and
· When you are criticized; don't get angry, instead get serious!
