THE STUDENT LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM Leaders walk their talk. |
|
The ART of LeadershipLeadership training is all about learning the skills necessary to make a difference. These skills are often referred to as “people skills” and the description fits. Leaders must learn to work with people as individuals, in groups and in all of the possible situations and circumstances. Leadership skills cover a very wide field - varying alphabetically from assertiveness to vision development. Our approach is quite unique -- we examine each skill in relation to each of the other skills. That is, when we study and practice communication skills, we do so IN RELATION to solutions, to goals, to motivation, to teambuilding, to organization, to inclusion and so on. The idea is to enable our students to make the connection of the relationship between the skills and their interdependence upon one another. We are more interested in application than theory. Our goal is to enable our students to be better leaders TODAY as well as tomorrow. Learnings and UnderstandingsLeadership development is based upon personal mastery of three basic learnings and understandings. This foundation can be found in the acronym “A.R.T.” as in the ART of Leadership. Every level of our program examines the power of attitude sharing. Attitude is a key element in any exploration of Problem Solving, or Motivation, or Teambuilding, or Project Planning. Attitude is contagious -- a leader’s first duty is to insure that his is worth catching. Every level of our program examines the power of mutual respect. Respect is a key element in any exploration of Communication, Team development, Vision and Goal Setting. Respect must be unconditionally given. Every level of our program examines the power of Trust. Trust is a key element in any exploration of Cooperation, or Delegation, or Community Service. Trust is a leader’s most precious resource -- effective leadership is not possible in its absence. Attitude, respect and trust are more than mere words. Each represents active leadership. Each are fundamental traits of effective leaders. Each are basic skills that that can and must be learned and understood. Together these skills are the foundation of the SLTP philosophy. During the our programs we refer to the SLTP atmosphere as practicing “24 hour mutual respect” -- to us that means ART appreciation.
