Group Members
I joined the Leadership Club this year and I love leadership. The theme this year is “cooperation and competition”.
Leadership did two main events this year.
The first thing we did is we finished a real case study from Harvard and Western Ontario University. We did the final presentation in Sheraton Hotel on 21st March. All of us wore suits and did the 10 minutes speech in groups. Our group topic was KFC in China, why China was a great place to invest in 1980s. We prepared a long time and practised a lot before the final presentation. We searched on the Internet to learn the history, policies in China in 1980s. Canadian officially recognized P.R.China in 1973. China is getting attention from the world under successful foreign policies. In 1979, China started to reform their new economy, a group of people are becoming rich. China under suited economy policy with great number of cheap labor. We searched a lot and discussed with our group members many times. Finally we got a big success though all of us were very nervous during the presentation. It was the first time I wore suits to do this kind of formal speech in Sheraton Hotel. I learn a lot about China and KFC history, and I know more about how to be a good speaker in a speech as well. Good use of eye contact, body language, speaking rate, speaking volume are all very important points for a speaker.
The second event we did this year was to visit our sister school Jiaxing GCA for three days, from 10th to 12nd April. We went to tongxiang, Jiaxing with Mr.Gallinelli, Mr.Saxby, Ms.Chu and Mr.Ma. We played many games, made new friends, and learned how to be a good leader. Student-teachers did a lot of job this year, we all had a great time in Tongxiang, all of us enjoyed the weekend.
Mr. Gallinelli gave us a class about leadership during that weekend as well. We learned the Leadership Theory – Forming-Storming-Norming-Performing model. These 4 phases are all necessary and inevitable in order for the team to grow, to face up to challenges, to tackle problems, to find solutions, to plan work, and to deliver results.
As a good leader of a great team, we need to set goals and plans, encourage communication among members, be positive, solve problems and make decisions on a timely basis, have good meeting and give each person a job and responsibility.
There are 8 ways which Mr.Gallinelli concludes for us (actually Dale Carnegie) to influence people, they are very useful to me and I like them all:
1). The only way to win an arguments is to avoid it.
2). Show respect for the other person’s opinion – Never say “Your Wrong!”
3). If you are wrong admit it quickly.
4). Begin in a friendly way.
5). Let the other person do most of the talking.
6). Let the other person feel the idea is theirs.
7). Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view.
8). If nothing else works, throw down a challenge.
GCA Leadership is a really good club, I learned many things I couldn't learn from a text book. I have many “First time” in Leadership, I love Leadership!
