TRUE Leadership is a 5-day conference for international students. It is an engaging way to learn about leadership where you will not only hear from inspiring speakers, but you will also develop your leadership skills in your Life Group. You will be placed in a Life Group of 8 individuals and connect, grow, and thrive as a team through group discussions, competitions, and challenges.
TRUE is a helpful acronym for key leadership qualities.
T=Trust
R=Relationships
U=Understanding & Wisdom
E=Excellence
Each day of the conference we will focus on a different letter of TRUE.
Trust
Authentic leadership requires a person to grow in trustworthiness. Then others are more likely to rely on that person’s initiative or direction. The resulting impact on productivity, teamwork and collective satisfaction, therefore, is enhanced.
Relationships
Often overlooked, the power of a leader’s integrity can provide a vital framework for effective collaboration among staff, co-workers or even a community. When a leader demonstrates humility, forgiveness, and honesty in one’s own relationships, the effect is revolutionary, positive and potentially far-reaching.
Understanding
As a business leader, former Medtronics CEO and Harvard Business Professor Bill George stresses, “Without a deep and central understanding of one’s ‘True North,’ a leader may flounder or even fail. One arrives at understanding both through experience and accumulation of wisdom.”
Excellence
Ancient wisdom confirms that “We are what we repeatedly do.” Excellence, then, is not a one-time action, but a habit.”
