My Leadership Portfolio and My Important Values

  My Leadership Philosophy   #1 Lead by Example #2 Always be Respectful and Value People #3 Keep Doing My Best and Motivate Others (Never Give Up) #4 Learn from Experiences and Always Communicate #5 Trust People to Do the Right Things   My leadership personality up until now has been a journey for me from the start. Little did I know that leadership will be taught in me when I joined the Philippine Military Academy. When I was still a civilian, I never cared too much about whether I will be a leader or not. It was the position I was concerned with when I graduate. I was just cruising until I finally decided to enter PMA. It was a life-changing decision for me, and it was all worth the journey. From a happy-go-lucky person, I became a better version of myself. Unfortunately, after a year in PMA, I was turned back for a year to join the next class. I was eagerly going back but only to find out later that this eagerness will not cut it. It maybe true that I...

  My Journey to the Hill   As the C-130 military transport aircraft opens its ramps, I began to wonder if I am good enough to lead. If this time, I will be of help and service to the people and make a difference. It will be the last seven years of my tour of duty. Alas, the Command and General Staff Course is over. Finally, in a few weeks, we will be redeployed to our new unit assignments. Each of the recent graduates of this coveted course prepares officers to take on the next step in their military career. Some will be Department Heads, Medical Services to become Commanding Officers or Head Military Nurse of station hospitals, while most will be occupying the Battalion Commander position.  As I read through the orders given for our reassignments, I remembered the years that have passed.  It has already been about 30 years when I entered the military as a Philippine Military Academy cadet. Time has flown very fast that I am nearing the end of my journey. By the year...

  Reflection Paper #3 Spirit In The Practice Of Leadership   This Leadership module had the most impact on your life. I have practically been a leader all my military life. Being a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy,   it was expected for me to perform the following roles; 1) Leader of Character, 2) Military Professional, 3) Combat leader, 4) Manager of Resources, and 5) Support National Development. In my stay in the academy for five years, I have been prepared to perform the above roles. According to Fr. Dennis Cagantas, during his lecture about the Spirit of Leadership, these are the Whats and the Hows of leadership. As I looked back, it never occurred to me that the inner source was discussed during the lectures. Further, I realized that the leadership I learned in PMA was more in the classroom, where we were given readings and then took exams to see if we learned from the lessons and some of the lectures. We never talked about the “Who.” It has moved...

 

 

  FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION   TEMPLONUEVO BOLO RAMON MOJIX What are your findings and conclusions?        Overall, I found out there are different interpretations of the spirit of Leadership.       In one of the interviews, he claims of not using it at all but likewise thinks that it was the obligation to do good(social contract) that binds him to lead to the best of his ability. Trust and actual proof of governance is its manifestation       Influencing, motivating, and leading by example is another finding that is present in the spirit of Leadership that is leading in front and managing people and risk.       Mentoring is noted in the findings, which is interpreted as a commitment to another to develop and improve work and character by working together for a common purpose   ...
