We had an excellent
whole day session with Anil Sir on various aspects of leadership. It started
with a small video on “Things I want to do before I die”.
He emphasized on Carl Rogers’s
theory of empathy which states “it feels good when you are heard carefully
without being judged & interrupted. He teached us the definition of empathy
by exemplifying an excellent example of “wearing others shoes” & explained
us we can’t experience the others feeling until we keep our ego aside. We were
asked to form a circle & share our feelings for the mishap that took away
the lives of our beloved one Gaurav & Rahul. It seemed very tough initially for everyone to
memorize the moment when we lost them.
As the day progressed,
we got the chance to understand the power of listening, EQ, Self understanding
& an appreciative inquiry. Listening
is a great power. Our entire life depends on it & it is one of major factor
that contributes to attain the great leadership qualities. We learnt the
importance of emotional quotient in our personal & professional lives. He also
mentioned that emotional quotient is mainly developed through mutual trust,
respect and the complete acceptance of an individual. We should also demonstrate genuineness and we can do it
by showing the warmth through our eyes and body language when we speak or
whether we listen.
Anil sir
then facilitated us the procedure of AI by appreciating each and every person
present in the class. We formed a team of two members & completed this
process. To my surprise, when we were sharing the appreciation for the fellow
partner among the class, Sir beautifully identified our unique gifts and
quality of individuals by their stories.
As the
process finished, We were suggested to form a talent tree chart displaying the uniqueness
of everyone. As a whole, it was a great learning experience.
