Last October 5, 2012 the members of Cooperative Bank of La Union (CBLU) attended SEDPI’s training on Effective Leadership and Values Re-orientation. The training, which was held at Subic International Hotel, aims to provide a deeper understanding of human behaviour and institutional values towards effective leadership in organizations. A total of 90 participants from 36 cooperative-members of CBLU attended the training.
Effective leadership is among the significant foundations of a successful cooperative. The training focused on organization behaviour and key principles of effective leadership in cooperatives. One of the activities conducted is the identification of leadership style. Through this, participants were given an understanding of their personal leadership style and how it can be developed to adapt to cooperative situations.
Participants commented that the training is very helpful, especially to newly established cooperatives. They also mentioned that the training was conducted in a participative and interactive manner which resulted to better understanding of the course.
Effective leadership and values re-orientation is one of the courses required by the Cooperative Development Authority. The training was conducted in partnership with the Nuevo Segovia Consortium of Cooperatives and the management of Cooperative Bank of La Union.
