During these last months, some of our chapters had many unique events. We are so proud of our chapter leaders and all they do to help serve and help the people in their areas.
The focus of BYU MS for our area is personal development, professional development, and moral and ethical leadership. Each of these programs from our chapter aligned with these BYU MS Asia focus areas.
BYU MS Cambodia – How to Set A Smart Goal? With Sam Chao
On February 15th, BYU MS Cambodia and Cambodia Jobs Foundation held an in-person event with the guest speaker Mr. Sam Chao for a program called “How To Set A SMART Goal?
Sam Chao is a US DEA (Drug Enforcement Agent) based in Cambodia. As a US Citizen, Sam escaped with his mother to the United States during the Pol Pot regime.
He has recently returned to Cambodia to work at the US Embassy in Phnom Penh. Sam also has a successful real estate business in the United States.
Sam spoke about “How To Set A SMART goal in his webinar?” Or how to set a goal that was S – Specific, M- Measurable, A – Attainable, R- Relevant, and T- Time-based.
In speaking to the BYU MS members in Cambodia, he mentioned the following:
- Physical – He mentioned that they need to take care of their physical bodies to have the ability to reach their goals.
- Mental – He said they needed to work on the mental aspects so that they would not feel they could not complete or accomplish their goals.
- Social – Sam spoke of how support was necessary from both good friends and family and how those friends and family can help you to be successful with your goals.
- Personal Brand – He pointed out how everyone needed to look at their own personal brand, which included constantly being willing to learn new things.
BYU MS Hong Kong – Six Paradoxes of Leadership and The Mindset Required to Navigate Them, By Doug Holyoak
BYU MS Hong Kong held an online virtual meeting on February 19th with the guest speaker, Doug Holyoak, the director of Human Capital Asia Pacific, and PriceWaterhouse Coopers.
Doug has been a frequent speaker and supporter of BYU MS activities in Hong Kong. I had the privilege to listen to Doug speak during this excellent virtual webinar.
He spoke about what it means to be a leader today in our ever-changing world; he said of how COVID has changed the leaders’ paradox and then spoke of what leaders need to do to survive during these times of change.
Doug mentioned the Six Paradoxes of Leadership As:
- Globally Minded
- High-integrity Politican
- Humble Hero
- Strategic Executor
- Tech-saavy Humanist
- Traditional Innovator
He asked us some important questions that leaders need to ask themselves. A few of the questions he asked include:
- How do you execute effectively while also be being highly strategic? (Strategic Executor)
- How do you become increasingly tech savvy and remember that organizations are run by people, and for people? (Tech-savvy Humanist)
- How do you have the confience to act in an uncertain world and the humility to recognize when you are wrong? (Humble Hero)
- How do you use the past to help your future success while also creating a culture that allows innovation, failure, learning and growth? (Traditional innovator)
I know as a leader, many of the things he said forced me to rethink how we think of leadership and why these new paradoxes of leadership are so important.
