Working To Refine Leadership Skills
By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - Possessing knowledge and personal characteristics alone is not enough to make a good leader, because he also needs to understand the field, roles, rules and regulation of the respective organisation that he leads.

This was said by University Brunei Darussalam (UBD) Vice Chancellor cum guest of honour Dato Paduka Dr Awang Hj Ismail bin Hj Duraman during the launch of the UBD Leadership Course for Students Council yesterday morning.

The guest of honour hopes the course will suit members of the Student Council, before they go on to take the first step towards shouldering responsibilities. The vice chancellor also hopes the course would provide participants an in-depth impression in developing the personality of each participant.

He pointed out the importance of partaking in activities, saying that such involvement would be healthy and would provide training towards the role and behaviour mannerism of a leader.

In a separate speech, Acting Student Dean Dr Hajah Sainah binti Hj Saim highlighted the objectives of the course. This includes providing knowledge on a number of management and administrative aspects of the student council. The knowledge will aid the newly elected members of the UBD Student Council.

The course will see talks focusing on the university, which will be delivered by the assistant vice chancellor, acting registrar, secretary, treasurer and assistant registrar. She also expressed hopes that Student Council members will take the opportunity to train themselves in becoming good leaders.

Sixteen members of the Student Council will be participating in the course in hopes of gaining knowledge on the tasks and responsibilities of each member in the association. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
