Message from
the Regional Superior
ofthe
Region Malawi
Our dear Sisters
The participants of the ITL Program
We are happy
and appreciate your readiness to take part in the International Leadership
Training program (ITL) in the year of our Lord 2014 to 2015.
We hope that
through this program and all its activities you will do, it is going to be a
very fruitful period that will offer you:
Holistic leadership skills and
knowledge that will enable you to carry out leadership tasks according to the
Spirituality of Sisters of Our Lady in the future.
Empowerment and ability to implement
the knowledge you will gain in the various leadership positions such as
community leadership, council member,
apostolate administrators, just to mention a few.
A chance to have shared experience
on cross–cultural exchange as you put theory into practice in your day to day
life.
On the other
aspects of our leadership in the Congregation, we believe that the International
Leadership Training program will assist our Congregation to create a pool of
trained leaders in the Region/Province enhancing shared responsibilities.
In connection
with the bond of Internationality, this will be strengthened indeed. You, the
participants will also appreciate the differences and have an opportunity to
know each other better than before.
To be a leader
as one whose first responsibility, is to consider
the needs of others, and be able to
create the conditions where the led can become leaders themselves.
To develop the
attitude that leaders must be servants of their people. Service is the most
characteristic of Christian leadership.
To gain
listening skills, since we as leaders, are invited to listen first so that we
may understand well the situation. To really listen is to dare to give time and
be there for others; care for people and about people.
In addition see
the suggested goals on the ITL training program from the report of the general
consultative organ meeting September 2011 booklet, page 21.
On behalf of
the regional council, I wish you, our dear participants, a very fruitful and
meaningful time throughout.
Best Wishes for
your ITL training program.
Sr. Diana Malikebu, SOL
