“Leaders are not rewarded; they are remembered.” - ProfRicky De Vera
Managers and supervisors of Gatchalian Medical Center took part in the Leadership Training Seminar: “Social Intelligence (SQ) in Leadership and Interaction” an enriching and thought-provoking session led by Prof. Ricardo De Vera, MBA, CSP, CMP, Asia’s Exceptional Influencer in Business Mentoring and Leadership Coaching.
This activity, organized as part of the Human Resource Department’s continuous leadership development initiatives, provided our leaders with valuable insights on what it truly means to lead with empathy, credibility, and social awareness. The seminar emphasized that social intelligence plays a vital role in leadership, allowing individuals to connect, influence, and inspire others effectively. It guided our leaders in strengthening their self-awareness, building credibility and trust through authentic communication, and adapting leadership styles to various situations leading not by authority or title, but through example and meaningful connection.
It was an inspiring experience that reminded us that leadership is not about control, but connection not about authority, but influence.
