Hello everyone,
The GLTP (Global Leadership Training Program) is a program to learn about leadership with friends from around the world.
In this post, we will introduce the participants’ impressions of the 4th class.We are halfway there finally!
~~~
Hi everyone! I am Minamo Akiyama, or Mimi, from Japan.
Firstly, let me introduce myself briefly. I am a 7th TOBITATE scholarship recipient, who studied in Denmark and did an internship in Malta. This spring, I finally graduated from university with a BA in Aesthetics and Art Theory and a museum professional certification. Following my passions for art, culture, museums, and heritage, I will begin my master’s education in Denmark this summer. Currently, I was supposed to be enjoying my “half gap year,” traveling around the world. Unfortunately Covid-19 changed my dream plan drastically. However, the Global Leadership Training Program (GLTP) has been a wonderful opportunity for me. It has allowed me to stay connected to the world, meet a lot of motivated/inspiring friends, and get prepared for my master’s and my future. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
The following is a short report on GLTP Module 4, held on 13th June 2020. I cannot believe that we have already gone through the first half of this program –– time flies too quickly!
★Inspire your team: which kind of power should I use as a transformational leader?
Our beloved facilitator Zenn began by providing us with a deeper understanding on the different type of powers. According to his explanation, relational power is one of the most important ones to become a transformational leader. Actually, the concept of relational power was new to me. I thought a leader with power should be strong, energetic, charismatic, and/or strict, sometime giving punishments or rewards to motivate others. However, relational power is none of these. Rather, it must be based on trusting relationship and sympathy toward others. I understood that relational power is likely to inspire people effectively.
★Come up with a unanimous decision: how do I balance myself as a transformational leader?
Through the last activity in this module, I realized that it is not easy to be equipped with relational power. Divided into small groups with 5-6 participants, each group needed to come up with a unanimous decision: either life sentence or death sentence on an 18-year-old defendant who killed many people. After 10-15 minutes of discussion, about half of the groups made unanimous decisions, but it was not possible to find a consensus for other groups. In my group, we could not reach an agreement. I supported a death sentence, which was the minority in our team. When I had a different opinion from the majority, I struggled to balance myself. After the tough/heated discussion, we were given some advice to balance ourselves as transformational leaders: take some time, ask other’s advice, and learn “emotional intelligence”…phew, it is not easy, but I believe it is matter of practice and experience. I am looking forward to further leadership training in the second half of GLTP!
