1605 ‐ 1640 IPP Sylvia Lee RC Suntec City Moderator President Brown Pereira RC Singapore East Rapporteur Introductory remarks (5 min) TABLE TOPICS Discuss two or more of the following topics (30 min): 1. Leadership. A leadership style encompasses how a person provides direction, implements a plan, or motivates others. To achieve their goals, effective leaders often switch styles to suit the situation. What makes an exceptional leader? Discuss three effective leadership qualities. 2. Leading and motivating volunteers. Motivated and enthusiastic volunteers are essential to successful clubs and districts. Knowing how to inspire club members will help encourage participation in projects and programs. What are some challenges you faced when motivating your fellow Rotarians? 3. Mentoring. In the mentoring process, an experienced person guides another person in the development of ideas and learning. How can becoming a mentor or being mentored enhance your personal growth? 4. Time Management. Time management involves applying a set of principles, practices, and tools to use time wisely, with the aim of improving quality of life, in Rotary, at work, and at home. What are some ways to ensure you’re doing what you want and need at work, at home, and in Rotary? 5. Goal setting and accountability. Effective goals are shared, measurable, challenging, achievable, and time specific. Accountability is making certain that everyone is working toward the same goals. What steps does your club take when setting annual goals? 6. Ethics and The Four‐Way Test. Ethics, a group’s shared set of values, has always played an important role in determining how Rotary clubs are run and how individual members conduct themselves in their professions. How do you handle situations in which an unethical decision has been made? 1640 ‐ 1725 PP Goh Kim Seng RC Singapore North Moderator PP Dr Senthil Doraisamy RC Muar Rapporteur Introductory remarks (5 min) WORKSHOP: STRATEGIC PLANNING 1.
