Ineffective leaders tend to invert this principle and consider merely that the leader must be served by the people. This faulty idea fosters the notion that leadership as an opportunity to take: to acquire personal status, advantage, gain, etc., at the expense of others, which is grossly wrong. Leadership is instead an opportunity to give; to serve the organization, and crucially the people too. Likewise, Personality plays a significant role in shaping an individual’s future. Personality plays an important role carrying oneself effectively, communicating with others, engaging with others, developing a relationship with others and creating networks. The programme was designed to improve leadership competency of the students as well as develop their personality.
