he Center for Naval Leadership and Excellence participated in the Unleashing Talent Leadership Training organized by the Center for Leadership and Change, Inc. (CLCI) last 07 August 2012 at Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Makati City. The training was facilitated by Mr. Michael Simpson, Corporate Leadership Expert of FranklinCovey, a private organization that creates transformational leadership in people and organizations

around the globe through training, executive coaching, and principle-based programs. LCDR Marissa Arlene A Martinez, Acting Director, Fleet Warfare School, and one of PNs licensed 7 Habits Signature Program Facilitator; LTJG Elmer Bryan C Bilangdal, Chief, Leadership Excellence Branch of CNLE; and Ms. Michelle C. Castillo CE, Defense Researcher, Leadership Excellence Branch, underwent the said training, which was joined by participants from different

public and private organizations. The Unleashing Talent Training Module is one of the leadership solutions that FranklinCovey offers to equip leaders with the proper mind-set, skill-set and tool-set to help their people unleash their talent and contribute more effectively to the goals of their teams and organizations. The Module works under two key principles behind effective organizations. First, the people the human resource

form the foundation of the organization. Second, the relationship and communication between the leadership and the people forms the core of an effective organization. The module emphasizes the crucial role of leadership in talent management. It challenges the traditional mind-set of a mediocre leader, which is I need to constantly motivate and manage my people to get results, because it reflects the use of traditional motivation techniques (back page)

Syeda Rizwana Hasan from Bangladesh and From the Lab to the Land: Turning Farmers into Productive Scientist by Dr. Romulo Davide from the Philippines. Aside from listening to the inspiring stories of each of the awardees, the activity also serveD as an opportunity for the PN to learn best practices from sectors outside the military, especially as these topics are of particular interest to two ongoing initiatives of the PN, namely Gender and Development (GAD) Program and Environmental Management and Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Program. The event also provided an avenue for the PN to build its networks with our external stakeholders. (NPDLR)

What will enable leaders to tap the best of their peoples abilities is the three leadership conversations on Voice, Performance and Clearing the Path. These conversations highlight the vital role of effective communication between the leader and the personnel. Leadership Conversation on Voice involves affirming the worth and potential of the person and helping him/her find his/her voice.
