ESSAY (10 ideas to improve LUCT overall):
MYSELF AS A LEADER AT LIMKOKWING UNIVERSITY OF CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
I have been appointed to serve as the
leader for the period of two years at Limkokwing University of creative
technology also known as the Heart Beat of global creativity and innovation
worldwide. It is an international university that offers accredited and
recognized diploma, degree and masters certificates having a global presence in
three continents of the world which include Africa, Europe and Asia. Limkokwing
University has centres and number of campus in Malaysia, London, Indonesia, China,
Botswana, Swaziland and Latin America.
Leadership has been an ever-changing concept
for me and being a leader of this great institution for a period of two years
is indeed an honourable thing. Personally I don’t see leadership as a position
rather, I see it as an ability to be a Motivator to the co-workers, a bearer of
burdens, a builder, and a teacher as well. As a leader I need to be self-discipline
and have good strategies, characteristics such as been humble, proactive,
workaholic, flexible, trustworthy, polite and aggressive when necessary,
supportive to my advocate and followers, committed to my work, individuals and
organization at large. I should also bear in mind that every single action I
take be it in decision making, problem solving, management or mentoring matters
a lot.
Been a leader at Limkokwing university, I
will create teams of good business
analyst that will assist me in making right decisions for better management
of the campus. As a leader, I would like to be known as someone who was
able to get things done in an organized complete way. I believe good
leaders should be respected by their followers, not just because they have the
title of supervisor, director or president. The values and vision of a leader
needs to be clear, and in the organizational environment, they need to be
concise. Being a leader does not require making listings of rules of
orders and assign them to the organization members or employees. Leadership is
about inspiring others, motivating them and communicating the shared vision and
values of the organization effectively, and these are the approaches i will
apply as the leader of Limkokwing University.
Secondly, I will make available spread of a
new creative and collaborative culture in the work environment where every
member of the organization is valued and treated as a family member. This will
increase the productivity of the institution and help every member give his
or her best outcome. Furthermore, I will ensure to update my colleagues on
the purpose of the organisation and our mission to be accomplished so that they
should be aware of how hard they need to work and manage their weekend as well:
to be the best creative and innovative higher education institute in the world.
By focusing on the mission and goal, the community members will make sure that
every task they perform is leading the organization towards its ultimate goal
and vision, making sure that every member of the community and institution
either students, lecturers, and all workers are all in good and reliable state
and with an easy medium of communication regularly as directly as possible to
listen to their complains and make changes and improvements when necessary.
Thirdly, with the presence of many
organizational theories, the emphasis has migrated from the more
complicated way of doing things down to, utilization and transnational leadership in order to motivate employees to a more
transformational style of leadership which focuses on the satisfaction of an
individual as the motivation for an employee. Base needs still need to be met.
A reasonable salary, health benefits and other needs based compensation is
still necessary for employees to feel comfortable, but an employee needs job
satisfaction to excel which is exactly the step I shall be taking as the leader
at Limkokwing University. The employee job satisfaction is an important factor
in leading people, and i will not overlook or overshadow the situation. It has
been deduce that leaders should not be manipulative and so it is logical
to assume that employees should not be either. A moral standard should be
utilized for both leaders and followers, as these will be my keys to moral
leadership.
Meanwhile Limkokwing institution is an
amazing place for learning, growth and acquiring new skills, as a leader, there
are still some areas need to be retouch. Such areas include:
Increase Process
Uniformity - The University operates 12 campuses across a varied number of
regions, managing such a vast institution where over 30,000 candidates
take admission to build their careers is not an easy task. At times,
our processes in terms of selections, scholarships and fees have been far from
uniform. This hits our credibility in a big way and is one of the
primary improvements that I would like to strive towards in this year.
Increase Cleanliness
across Campuses - Again this is something which is quite evident in itself and
normally it is expected to be an obvious thing to take care
of. However, there have been cases of un-hygienic food and lack of
cleanliness in some of our campuses leading to students falling
sick. This area needs to be improved as quickly as possible.
Provide Benefits to
Faculty - A world-class university is not built by buildings or
infrastructure but by the quality of its faculty. Off-late it has
been noticed that some of our faculty members are not satisfied with the
working conditions and the pay. This is one area we need to improve on
because i have a dream to make this university the best in the world.
Improve a bit of strictness – to bring out the hidden talent of an
individual you need to put him under pressure and not excessive pressure just a
bit of it to let the student know when and where the right time for everything
is.
Give a dressing code – even though I’m well aware of the fashion club, the ban won’t
affect them because that’s their job but to the other faculties it would at
least to reduce the temptation and day dreaming.
In a nut shell, being a leader at the great Limkokwing
university of creative technology would be amazing and challenging role at the
same time and so everybody should be on his toes and accept the challenge
honourably because there will be a drastical change and different approach not
for my benefit rather for the organisation to maintain their charismatic figure
and compete with greater schools not only locally but globally.

CHAPTER 3.1
RANDOM WORDS ASSOCIATION
(HOW
IT MIGHT RELATE TO THE PROBLEM):
1. Cultural festival: cultural festivals are a worldwide celebrations as many
students are from different cultures and backgrounds. I would unite the
students by combining this many cultural events into one huge united festival.
This will help the students in knowledge of other cultures and traditions by
also spreading and teaching new different people their cultures.
2. Fashion shows: inviting other famous
fashion designers from other countries to give out to seminars and shows to
help improve and inspire the fashion students. This would help improve student
motivation and determination.
3. Girl models: During the weekly fashion shows inviting famous models for the
fashion shows will also help the fashion students in their endeavour.
4. Orientation: Not all students participate in the orientation before the
commencement of their lectures they complain that it takes a long time and
becomes bored. I will make the orientation short and interesting for the new
students by learning on how they would rather the orientation to be and make it
more effective on the students.
5. Tournament: The sports club have tournaments but not all students are
aware of this and they are not as interesting. I would bring up competition
among the students and also challenge other schools. This will help both the
university and students in many ways.
6. Independence Day: students from different countries have their independence day
celebrated on different days. As a leader I will make sure there are special
events during each independence celebration where by all the students from
other countries are united and share their national cultures and traditions.
7. Wedding: Individuals staffs or student who would like to have their
wedding celebration held at the university are welcomed to do so, if needed the
school will always contribute to the occasion.
8. Birthday party: I will support the idea of students having their birthdays to
celebrate in the school hall of fame and organise birthday parties.
9. Naming ceremony: As a leader I am going
to implement a law that allows any Limkokwing staff having a newly born baby to
be able to celebrate the naming ceremony at the school premises.
10. Engagement: Engagement parties of students and staffs can be announced in
advance and interested students who do not have classes at the set time are
free to attend.
11. Concert: There are hardly concerts held in the university and students
love concerts. I will create a small organisational body that invites bands and
musicians to hold concerts at the hall of fame and perform.
12. IT Expo: There are no Expo's held in the university, I would suggest an
annual It expo which facilitates first-hand interactions with market leaders
and emerging companies. This will be helpful in many ways for the student's
both in ICT and other departments.
13. IPHONE: The apple company have a store set up in the university but it
only sells the products. I would make a partnership with the company’s
engineers and programmers to work with the IT faculty, this would help both the
students and lecturers in the school in their fields of study.
14. Event planner: The University has its own event planners mainly students. I
will recommend hiring professional event planner's to help out in our events
and occasions, during this time our students will learn a thing or two from
them as it will be beneficial.
15. Guest: the university invites guests to various occasion but it
doesn’t seem to always be great because most of them are students. I will
recommend inviting various esteemed guests to our events and gatherings.
16. Celebrity: We hardly see a celebrity pass by the university. I will bring
up inviting celebrities from different fields of jobs in our school to come and
inspire our students into doing great things as students idolize them, this
will be a big and amazing change for both the students and the university.
17. Plaza: the plaza serves as the centre of Limkokwing students, but
complains are also made due to the noises of crowded people and inconveniences
of leakage during rain. I will change the layout and make it the plaza more
conducive for the students.
18. Seats: most of the seats in the plaza
are old and not sufficient, the seats in class are no less better I will change
both types of seats and get new comfortable ones in their place.

Teamwork is always the best solution in
working places and this will help staffs get a lot of information from their
colleagues that working either in the same department or in a different
department. This can and will solve many problems that you face during your
