Document Summary

2 | p a g e: leadership learning objectives. The term leadership has aways appealed to me as a state of the art mechanism adopted by an individual to usher a group of people with mutual objectives. According to my understanding of the term, it is a composite of 3 elemtents: direction, commitment and alignment. My experince with leading or better explained as being the guiding eyes have had its mark since my high school days. I have always take the chance to reflect what i know to the people who have chosen me to be their guide. My inspiration towards good governance started as i was given the responsibility of my high school soccer team captaincy. From then onwards, i felt the drive to co-found a students charity group where the sole purpose was to gather winter clothings by going door to door lead by me.
