" We are Not a Team because we Work Together, we are a Team because we Respect, Trust and Care for each other" -Vala Afshar.
The importance of knowing one’s strengths in terms of soft skills one possesses was cited vital, as it helps one to focus on his/her capabilities which in turn helps one to delegate their responsibilities in the best possible way. The other thing is that the session helped the students to ensure that they are doing the work which compliments and utilizes their skills which are strongest in them. The session provided an opportunity to deliberate and differentiate 'A Group' from 'A Team.
Group discussion on what is a group and what is team helped the members of the council realize that their team in the university is not just restricted to their deanery, but includes all the council members across all departments; and that it also includes all the student bodies on the campus as they have a common purpose of excellence and service.
The session was designed in such a way to orient the council members that their support was available for everyone, and that their true potential of being student leaders; and their aspirations for improvement and change can be realized as a team. There were other discussions on how time management and how it can help in fulfilling one's responsibilities; and help to provide support to attain their work-life balance. Stress was placed on the importance of prioritization when it comes to working and planning out how to go about completing the work through the priorities set.
The session helped the deanery council members to understand the importance of working with each other and being their for each other and to support one another The workshop not only helped them build a stronger bond between the members of the Council Members but also helped them as individual to become organized with regards to their work, life and brining about a balance in their roles as leaders and being students themselves
