Titled “Reflections and Inspirations of a Leader,” a special lecture was delivered by Dr. Juanito Cabanias, President of Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Dasmariñas, for the management team of the institution in preparation for the upcoming semester, which happened on December 15, 2023 at the KLD AVR Building 1.
Dr. Cabanias is an expert in the field of research, teaching, planning and administration. He is a former professor at the De La Salle University-Dasmariñas and led different departments and colleges in the same university. Likewise, he spearheaded various associations in the province of Cavite and presented some research works in both local and international conferences.
In his lecture, Dr. Cabanias shared some key thoughts on leadership with the KLD management team. He underscored that a leader shall uphold integrity, accountability, transparency, objectivity and meritocracy, lead like a lion that possesses courage, strength and decisiveness, and be exceptionally smart and highly intelligent. In addition, he mentioned that having shared vision, principles, and commitment is a key to creating a good team.
“No one is indispensable. Never abuse your power, twist the truth and compromise your integrity because of power,” said Dr. Cabanias during the session. He also added the repercussions of power tripping.
As the institution embarks on a new semester this coming 2024, Dr. Cabanias believes that KLD is a home where everyone is trustworthy. The key points presented during the special lecture are guiding principles for the management team toward building the foundation for KLD.
