Mandaluyong—From July 25-27 2018, MiMAP (RIMANSI) conducted the Leadership Training Workshop for Mi-MBAs at the Lancaster Hotel in Mandaluyong City. 34 participants from 10 Mi-MBAs were taught to recognize self-awareness as a key element of effective leadership in respect to governance and management functions. In turn, this affirms their commitment as leaders of a strong network of mutual microinsurers.
In preparation for the event, MiMAP management surveyed the network of Mi-MBAs in early June. The MiMAP (RIMANSI) Board members, managers and senior staff of Mi-MBAs were asked to identify key concepts and principles that they wish to learn in the workshop. This information was used to prepare for the Leadership Training Workshop and the ten sessions that would be included in the three-day module. On that account, several resource persons were invited to speak during the sessions being the respective experts on each topic.
For the first day of the Leadership Training Workshop, speakers included Ms. Nelca Leila B. Villarin, dean of the Office of Student Affairs from DLSU, Ms. Karen V. Rendeza, LPT, RGC, RPm, guidance counselor from the Malolos Marine Fishery School and Laboratory, Mr. Lucrecio D. Delgado, Jr., the International Program Consultant on Entrepreneurship from the Wadhwani Foundation USA in the Philippines, and Mr. Jun Jay E. Perez, MiMAP Executive Director.
Ms. Villarin started the discussions with a session on leadership concepts and principles. Aside from identifying the core elements of leadership, the concept was also differentiated with that of management. Ms. Rendeza was the resource person for the second session which was guided by the theme “Framework in Dealing with People: the Concept of a Person.” She introduced the concept of the person through the relationships individuals have with others, society and the material world, and a higher being. Mr. Delgado was the resource person for the third session which dealt with group facilitation skills. It covered the principles and concepts, particularly on how groups develop and how to foster participation. Lastly, Mr. Perez concluded the first day with a session on strengthening board and management teamwork.
