This leadership opportunity has made me realise this. +This leadership opportunity helped me better understand the kind of leader I aspire to become. -Empowerment Empathy Growth Stewardship +I realised that I value a service-centred approach to leadership, a leadership approach that values empathy, stewardship and empowering others to grow. A common name that is often use to describe this approach is "servant leadership". To me, leadership is not about power and authority. It is a responsibility, and I think being able to not only succeed as a team, but also to uplift them, is the way to fulfil this duty. -Of course, I also believe that this style of leadership may not work for all circumstances. In some situations, a more assertive and autocratic approach may be needed, and as a leader, one should be confident enough to take the actions for the progress of the team. +At the same time, I learnt that leadership also requires adaptability. This style of leadership may not work for every circumstance. In some situations, a more assertive and autocratic approach may be needed, and as a leader, one should be confident enough to take the actions and make decisions in the best interest of the team. ## Mentoring by Example -Beyond service, ultimately, I also want to be able to uplift my team and be able to contribute to their self-improvement. +Beyond service, ultimately, I measure my success as a leader by the growth of the people beside me. Not only I strive to model technical/creative expertise, but I also hope to improve their character and contribute to their growth. +One lesson that stood out to me is that growth does not always happen by following a single “correct” method. As people learn, they will discover their own methods and learn about themselves in their own ways, and they may contribute in their own unique ways too. In fact, I think it's even more meaningful when people grow beyond what I taught them. To me, it shows that they have become confident and capable of paving their own path of growth for the future. For me, I won't take this as that I'm no longer needed, I'll take this as an indicator that I've succeeded as a leader. Because again, ultimately, I want to be a leader that is responsible via stewardship to hopefully contribute to my team's personal growth. -+-+-+ \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/events/noai.md b/data/events/noai.md index 844814e..2af4ba1 100644 --- a/data/events/noai.md +++ b/data/events/noai.md @@ -21,22 +21,12 @@ For quite a while, I've been really curious of how AI, more specifically machine When I participated in NOAI this year, there were two rounds.
