- [00:00:20.640]The value I see in such a program is it
- [00:00:25.260]prepares leaders to take leadership roles. Leadership is, uh,
- [00:00:30.210]is, is a profession. It's not something you just do.
- [00:00:35.040]And no leader is trained in academic institution,
- [00:00:39.030]no leader qualified with a master's student or a PhD
- [00:00:45.240]grown the job develop on the job.
- [00:00:47.700]One way of developing thing is helping them pass through such and such program.
- [00:00:53.250]And this would prepare to them to take,
- [00:00:55.470]to tackle the problems they are facing every day and be in
- [00:01:00.870]a better position.
- [00:01:06.570]Um, we did get to design the cohort.
- [00:01:08.550]So there was a representation from a variety of units across Rico's campus.
- [00:01:13.080]So we have representation from the academic side.
- [00:01:15.990]We have representation from student affairs.
- [00:01:18.150]We also have representation from external relations.
- [00:01:39.870]LHD is coming to support us to help us to understand more about, uh,
- [00:01:44.100]even though we have that in our plant to underestimate,
- [00:01:47.040]how do we work with our stakeholders? How do we make sure that, uh,
- [00:01:50.970]our students, our graduates, uh,
- [00:01:54.030]understanding what is the challenges the entrepreneurship is,
- [00:01:58.590]is facing within Rhonda is especially in agriculture.
- [00:02:02.430]I'm really hoping that, um,
- [00:02:04.650]if I'm given the opportunity to be a leader in higher education,
- [00:02:08.580]I will be able to connect well, um,
- [00:02:11.040]with my team to be able to have this high, um,
- [00:02:15.990]high level vision of the Institute or the path I'm leading and how to
- [00:02:20.850]drive it forward,
- [00:02:22.260]but also to be able to draw from this trend of everyone I work with and from
- [00:02:27.150]different units into destitution and be able to draw from the strengths of each
- [00:02:31.530]one of those,
- [00:02:32.520]to be able to help me drive the change that I hope to bring to that institution.
- [00:03:10.690]I think the value of a program like this, the human subject design workshop,
- [00:03:16.180]it's really given leaders,
- [00:03:19.390]the confidence and the resources to solve some of the very difficult problems
- [00:03:23.890]that they have to deal with.
- [00:03:25.810]Well, I've learned that, uh,
- [00:03:28.370]still key stakeholders are key people.
- [00:03:32.890]Who would you work together for achieving your objectives?
- [00:03:36.820]So how do I talk to them?
- [00:03:39.220]How do I listen to them for me to be able to turn them
- [00:03:43.930]contribute properly or in a way that I need your contribution to be what should
- [00:03:48.880]be supporting my objectives?
- [00:03:50.620]You know, that to be an effective leader and be able to drive change,
- [00:03:55.840]we need to learn as much as pushed to go about the different
- [00:04:00.490]units of the institution and the
- [00:04:04.870]individuals making those units.
- [00:04:07.120]So anyone that you need to contribute to driving the change is a person you
- [00:04:11.860]should know about what is the benefit to the close to the program.
- [00:04:16.660]What's that going to bring to the program or the activity that you are looking
- [00:04:20.980]for?
- [00:04:21.820]And then be open to bringing into the discussion at the beginning
- [00:04:26.650]of planning for the program, but also to listen to.
- [00:04:41.950]The LNG program was broad enough for everyone to have something.
- [00:04:47.050]There was something new and inspiring for everyone,
- [00:04:50.140]the self-awareness projects, design, or even resource management.
- [00:04:55.480]The lessons learned from lag will be especially important as the institution
- [00:04:59.860]grows. And as we need to continue to align with our mission and values.
- [00:05:04.720]There a lots of key takeaways from this unit,
- [00:05:09.220]but the major ones I can speak about to do with universities,
- [00:05:14.680]how you should approach the student. Um,
- [00:05:18.520]I picked the experience from the us university where they start by clearly
- [00:05:23.200]defining their graduate profile.
- [00:05:25.800]What are the competencies that they want to see in their graduates?
- [00:05:30.790]Um, I mean, uh, what are the values they want? And these, uh,
- [00:05:35.440]clearly informs what the curriculum should look like,
- [00:05:40.090]and they are co-curricular activities and extracurricular activities.
- [00:05:49.480]It is important to look as a student beyond the class,
- [00:05:54.310]you know, not only focusing on academic,
- [00:05:57.340]you look at what influences student success,
- [00:06:01.580]starting with the family environment, you know, student mental health,
- [00:06:06.920]you know, peer influence, um, probably, you know, um,
- [00:06:11.870]the environment of the university.
- [00:06:21.680]Doing education for educators who are just so eager and hungry to learn and grow
- [00:06:26.510]and make the impact that they want to make. Um,
- [00:06:29.200]through bleeding and higher education has just been super rewarding.
- [00:06:32.630]And to do that in a cross-cultural context where we're pulling upon different
- [00:06:36.920]perspectives,
- [00:06:37.610]both from Wanda and other parts of the world has just been a super rewarding
- [00:06:41.780]experience.
