Hi, I'm Nizual Rahman. I was born in Roorkee, Uttarakhand.

I did my schooling from Montfort School, Roorkee. Currently, I'm pursuing my Bachelors in Computer Science from UPES, Dehradun.

I have many strengths and weaknesses, but being frightened isn't one of them.

At the end, I just want to say, "Life goes on, with you or without you."

During this session, we received our first stars and were exposed to the star count system for the first time. We also learnt about leadership skills and their significance in our personal and professional life.
We also learned about some great leaders and some of their attributes, as well as how to develop these qualities in ourselves and be successful with them.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about the attributes that a leader needs possess in order to be successful in life. And how we might develop those qualities while also improving the ones we already have.

Sir also showed us a movie in which a youngster acted as a leader and began removing a tree that was in his way, and others joined after the boy demonstrated courage. It demonstrated that one leads and the other follows in the real world.

In this challenge we have to give a BIG 5 Personality Test.

# data[].attributes.body
This test allows us to learn about our personalities. It is also necessary to understand your personality qualities in order to become a better leader. Personality and aptitude tests (psychometrics) can help you manage people and understand yourself better. These assessments can be used for self-reflection and insight, as well as learning how to communicate with people in a team or work group more effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
We learned in this session how vital it is to know oneself in order to be a great leader; we must all be aware of our own strengths and weaknesses. Once we can see them in ourselves, we can recognise them in others and assist them as well.

In this session we got a task to do. It's about what you would do if you got stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean with your batch mates.

We get divided into breakout groups and we have to decide how we can survive and escape from this island.

In this week's lesson, we discuss different leadership styles.
Leadership Theories and Styles:

(A) THE GREAT MAN LEADERSHIP THEORY

The "great man" theory of leadership became popular during the 19th century. The mythology behind some of the world's most famous leaders, such as Abraham Lincoln, Julius Caesar, Mahatma Gandhi, and Alexander the Great, helped contribute to the notion that great leaders are born, not made.

(B) THE LEADERSHIP TRAIT THEORY

The trait theory of leadership focuses on identifying different personality traits and characteristics that are linked to successful leadership across a variety of situations. According to the researchers, the traits most commonly associated with great leadership include:

(C) LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORAL THEORY

The behavioural leadership theory focuses on how leaders behave and assumes that these traits can be copied by other leaders. Sometimes called the "style theory," it suggests that leaders aren't born successful, but can be created based on learnable behavior.

(D) THEORY OF TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP

Transactional leadership involves motivating and directing followers primarily through appealing to their own self-interest. The power of transactional leaders comes from their formal authority and responsibility in the organization.

We were asked to recall a recent VUCA situation at home or school you came across and how you dealt with it as a leader. What are your lessons for the future?
But what is VUCA? In simple words VUCA stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. It describes the situation of constant, unpredictable change that is now the norm in certain industries and areas of the business world. VUCA demands that you avoid traditional, outdated approaches to management and leadership, and day-to-day working.

# data[].attributes.body
This week we discussed the VUCA situation.

And a framework for leadership action in the VUCA of the pandemic.

A few years ago, Bob Johansen, distinguished fellow at the Institute for the Future, developed an effective leadership framework as a "VUCA counterweight," which he called VUCA PRIME. VUCA PRIME (VP) encourages leaders to focus on developing vision, understanding, clarity, and agility as a means of coping with and overcoming the daunting and sometimes paralysing effects of the VUCA WORLD.

Volatility: Leaders should focus first on creating space for themselves and their teams to think. This could be as simple as reminding yourself and others to literally take a couple of steps back, take three deep breaths, and then ask, "What do we think we’re dealing with and what are the most important things we need to focus on in the short-run?" Creating space gives you the opportunity to calm yourself and focus your efforts.

Uncertainty: The second step in the action framework is to do what you can to reduce uncertainty by gathering data and insights. The data gathering is a focused effort on learning what you can from reliable sources. Insights can come from conversations with internal and external partners. In uncertain situations, insights can also come from examining past experiences.

Complexity: The third step in the framework is to identify discrete, manageable chunks of action that could make a positive difference. You’re not trying to solve 100 percent of problems on any given day; you’re trying to solve the five percent or so that will move you closer to bigger solutions. A series of successful 5% solutions usually works much better than deferring action in favour of fully baking a 100% solution.

Ambiguity: The fourth step in the framework is by running small tests and sharing what’s learned from them. In addition to improving the current state of reality, engaging people in a test-and-learn approach gives them reason to hope and keep going.
