On the 13th of September, the Department
of Computer Science and Engineering, CUFE had organized a workshop on
leadership skills. The event was a collaborative effort of Prof K Balachandran,
Head of Computer Science & Engineering and Prof Jibrael Jos. Prof Jibrael
Jos, presently a faculty in Department of Computer Science, Christ University, Hosur
Road, has over 12 years of industry experience in the area of Business
Intelligence, Project Management, Recruiting and Training.
A group of 24 students, both from M Tech 1st
and 2nd years had taken effective part in the workshop. The workshop
was a day-long session that began at 9 in the morning and went on till 4 in the
evening. The leadership workshop, termed as “Followership” workshop, was filled
with many activities that were not only aimed at bringing out effective leaders
in the participants but also giving them insight on how to be good team
players. The session included events like Think First, Thespian Walk, Leadership
Traits, Building from Scratch and many more, in which the students were divided
into teams and were given challenges. Prof K Balachandran took a session on
Leadership Traits; he used a blend of a Image based presentation, Individual
Introspection and Group Interaction to drive home the key traits of a leader. Towards
the end of the session, Prof Jibrael Jos had the students identify not just
their goals and aims but also their habits, strengths, weaknesses and many more
factors that could help them recognize their individuality and entrust upon
them the urge to reach their goals.
It closed at 4 pm as an eventful and beneficial
workshop for the students, who have stated it to be both fun and educative
workshop- one of the like they would look forward to"I like the “Cricket Stadium Making” in which we have spent time on planning, designing and implementing it with our peers", Amresh Kumar
