To be continued in the next issue… When I initially joined PSME in 1987, I was inactive but in 1992 I had the opportunity to become a member of PSME – Saudi Arabia Chapter which gave me the chance to discover what leadership is all about, the PSME way. While learning by doing in PSME, I also applied the knowledge and skills I learned from the company where I worked. I am a member of PSME – SA for two years before seeking an elective position. In 1994 I became an auditor, in 1995 a Secretary, and in 1996 elected as a Chapter President. It is on these years where I learned the way of PSME. All throughout, I followed the directions of our National Leaders and followed the decisions of the supreme members. After then, we showed the way by leading all the chapters in the Middle East. Qualities of a Leader: (First Part) 1. A leader must be CONFIDENT enough to ensure that others follow his command. Members are looking for their leaders to be decisive, matured in thinking, knows what he is doing, firm and bold in his decision, and always think of what is the best for his people. 2. A Leader must have COMMITMENT and PASSION. PSME as an organization needs committed leaders. A leader who dedicates his life to the Society all the way. He must have a Passion to serve not only during his term but even after his term. 3. A Leader should INSPIRE others. In order to inspire members of PSME, leaders must be visible in every chapter activities. He must be with them especially in times of need. In difficult times, he is the source of strength. He protects his people and leads them against their adversaries. 4. A leader should be a GOOD COMMUNICATOR.
