GE Personality Development Workshop

By Nur Dalilah Dzulkarnain, Foundation/3rd, PG
Tronoh, 5th March-  Aimed at increasing leadership skills and teaching people how to be inspiring leaders, TEC invited a representative from GE Corporation to give an informative talk on how to communicate like a leader, in a two hour GE Personality Development Workshop.
Ms Xiao Qhing of Outreach and Talent Development unit in GE Asean was invited as one of the speakers and Ms Ramia Balakrishnan of GE Asean answered questions regarding internship possibilities by the audience. Participating as a participant of the workshop myself, Ms Xiao started off by defining leadership and according to her, a good leader is not the one that manipulates others to gain power rather, the one who inspires everyone around them to climb through the ladder of success together.
She went on to share about the various leadership styles and reminded us that personality is what we are born with but the style of a leader is something that we need to learn. Dividing these styles into four parts which are the relator, the expresser, the analyser and the director, the audience began to grasp an understanding of what style fits them best.

As thoughtful as the workshop held, participants came home along with a certificate of participation and a birds-eye view on the leadership world.
