lessons from birds v formation small group activity 23s
DESCRIPTION
Personality Development is very important and if students are motivated, early in life, they would be better able to acquire the required life skills and become a better success. As a University Teacher, as a former Director of an Institute of Management, as a Trainer and Motivator, I am convinced that the best thing the educational institutions, at various levels, can do is to initiate the process of self-development, provide the required minimum initial support, and then leave the rest to the students to work out on their own. Some of my ideas are presented under the caption, Personality Development and Small Group Activity. This is a set of 4 presentations. I request the interested friends, whether representing Managements, Faculty or the Students, to kindly go through all the four parts in order to obtain a total view and then make up their mind to begin the exercise.TRANSCRIPT
