What is your philosophy of leadership?

“Lead to make others better”

I lead from the front by taking action, demonstrating what needs to be done, and keeping my team organized to make sure we’re all on the same page and contributing equally. Communication is one of my greatest strengths. I lead by facilitating open communication and trying to bring out the best in every team member. I’m great at delegating and finding the strengths of other team members. I try to give each person a chance to do what they’re best at and create a team effort that delivers a result that’s greater than the sum of its parts.

“Creating leaders and educated professionals”

My vision has always been to provide affordable quality education, while equipping students with knowledge and skills in their chosen stream. I aspire to inculcate values, identify hidden talents, and provide opportunities for students to realize their full potential. Thus shaping them into future leaders, entrepreneurs and above all good human beings.

What do you think your roles and responsibilities to the College are?

“Improving the operating effectiveness”

I continually try to endeavour best practices in the college premises.

When not involved in teaching duties, I devote as much time as possible to the supervision of the college, observing methods of instruction and endeavouring to improve the efficiency of the staff and the college in general.

Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth?

“Think before you act”

The simple but effective process of thought will help you avoid making critical mistakes that could cost you your freedom, education or your life. Always find an adult mentor, but do not just be a follower. Have your own mindset and think wisely. Be humble, establish a set of values, maintain emotional stability.
