Relationship Good listener, supportive environment, relax & fun, enjoy being with you , enjoy working with you.
Leadership is influence It isn’t about titles, power or positions It is about getting people to help you…. when they are not obligated to do so. People will respond better to your leadership if they like you than they don’t like you
Do and follow what I say ! I am a 40 years’ Lion !! I am the Zone Chairperson !!! I don’t like him to be there !!!! I am in charge here !!!!! If I don’t hear from you, I assume you agree to my proposal !!!!!! Control- oriented . Dominating discussion and decisions. Create fear and manipulation, through titles, status, positions and power. Bully or intimidate.
Power crazy habits.. Dictator Autocrat Fault finder These type of leadership very often habitually cultivate a fear culture, a “yes sir” management style, a speak less or speechless organization, a dare-not-try workforce, move toward a “sure lose” foot path.
Bear in mind….. Lions don’t get paid from Lions Clubs. Lions Club is not the only activity that people can join to invest their time, energies and talents in a good cause……… They do compare ! They set priority too!!

DON’T Don’t lose sight of the team’s goals Don’t cause more problems by ignoring tensions in your team Don’t delay your action of solving the problems Don’t lose your own temper Don’t blame and find fault
“$%#@^&*%! “ • Response from Lion Leaders …. • This is personal , nothing to do with the club. • You take side. • You avoid. Play “don’t know” . • The other party is more powerful, better don’t offend him. • Sorry, this is not my cup of tea . • The weak party is always wrong.
Bewareof making assumptions at all costs ! Assumption is arrogance. Assumption is error. Assumption is the mother of mistake. If I don’t hear from you, I assume you agree to my proposal If I don’t hear from you, I assume you have no objection
Resolve before it goes out of hand !

Results driven & recognition Work for achievement & success. Give praise ASAP. Immediate recognition is the most effective.
RECOGNIZE AND PRAISE!! People love recognition, even if only verbal , and cost is often little or nothing. People respond to a simple compliment for a job well done. Never let any good deed or action go unheralded in the group. Say thank you publicly at every meeting. Increase the sense of belonging, boost team spirit and moral. Build team atmosphere. Recognize the value of peoples’ contributions.
Categories of Recognition Formal Informal • Everyday ways to show • appreciation • Appropriate, genuine, and • continuous • Worth becoming a habit • Certificates • Pins • Banners • Medals
Be specific • State appreciation • Describe what they did • Describe the overall effect/how much it means • Make it genuine • Make it a habit • Make it appropriate

Do you make member feel needed, important and appreciated ? Absent, sick, never return phone call / email, avoiding you .
Do you have a caring and sharing heart ? When was the last time you spoke to your members ? When was the last time you show concern to the health and welfare of your members? When was the last time you show some simple gesture of kindness to your members ?
Whatsort of values are we selling ? People will only act on what they believe in
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you… District Governor Lucy
Have you experienced……. Lions form their own circle chit-chatting? Lions “Yam Sing” with one another ? Lions leave the functions hall ? Lions taking photographs? Lions eating their foods ? Lions talking on the hand phone? Are you one of those ?
Is that what we call….. Good reputation ? Good manners ? Good behaviors ? Good etiquette ? Respect ? High moral character ?
What difference does it makes when we…. Compare our value to other societies or organizations…… We are no better off than them and yet we term ourselves “high moral character and good reputation”
Lions leaders failed to remember that We are Lions and We are not similar to other societies or organizations We have our own set of values
Know when to be silent. Respect authority. Don’t eat, drink , chit chatting while official matter is in progress. It is an insult to the VIP. Public will continue to view you as an association that is good at “drink, eat and yam-sing”. Is that the image and reputation you want to project ?
Introduction of VIP Do it well Keep it short Do it quick ( in one or two minutes) Long introduction bored the audience mentally and it cause damage to the VIP presentation
When Leaders lead by good example , Lions Clubs improve ! Would you care to make a difference ? Are you willing to do your part ?
When people enjoy being with you and enjoy your company and when they see the value in their aim, they will commit and follow you.
Commitment of quality must start from the TOP Are you prepared to take the lead ?
Give your best shot!!! Enjoy the work you do and do the best you can
