A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees

before others do. Leroy Eims

Empowering Youth is the Major Emphasis Programme of JCI

India which was started in 1996 with the title LEADERSHIP 2000.The programme has undergone different stages of modification

and finally culminated in the present form of Empowering Youth.

The basic objective of the programme is to give the younger gen-

eration an insight into their capabilities and responsibilities and

thus enable them to live as the worthy citizens of the nation.

This programme received amazing positive response from the

students, teachers and parents. During the last 14 years the chap-

ters of JCI India, numbering more than 1000, religiously orga-

nized this programme especially for the benefits of school and

college students in rural and semi-urban areas. More than 1.5 mil-lion youngsters of the country became the alumni and beneficia-

ries of this venture. No wonder, Junior Chamber International has

recognized JCI India by adjudging Empowering Youth as the most

outstanding Major Emphasis Theme programme of the world.

Qualified JCI India trainers and experts from academic arena

will help the participants to make a paradigm shift in them, raise

their level of confidence, equip them to meet the challenges of

competitions and groom them in to the status of duty conscious

and value driven citizens.

I appeal to the young generation of this country to make use of this opportunity for their growth and helpothers to grow.

The credit of designing this programme during its inception goes to Past National President of JCI

India Jc. Sen. R. Raja Govindasamy.

I thank the National President Jc. Santhosh Kumar P. for giving me the opportunity of updating this

manual

Guidelines to LOMs and TrainersGuidelines to LOMs and TrainersGuidelines to LOMs and TrainersGuidelines to LOMs and TrainersGuidelines to LOMs and Trainers

Identify a high school/higher secondary school/college

where the programme can be conducted. Make the par-

ticipants homogenous and never mix the students of dif-

ferent grades (for e.g. a few students from grade 9th anda few from grade 10th). Do not mix the students of vari-

ous divisions of the same grade. Conduct the programme

exclusively for a division.

Engage Jaycee trainers, teachers or other experts who can

deal with the subjects outlined in this handbook. Ensure

the availability of adequate number of trainers to conduct

the programme concurrently for various divisions or

grades.

The duration of one module should be of 90 minutes. Limit

the number of participants to 50/batch. The trainer may use the basic material printed in this book-

let. He or she may add appropriate games, exercises, case

studies etc. to enhance the learning.

The total number of training hours required for the entire programme varies from 15 to 20 depending

upon needs and the students level.

Make necessary arrangements and preparations at the venue. Do not organize the programme in a haste

which tampers the image of JCI.

Remember Empowering Youth is an individual development programme for community betterment.

Almost every thing that is great has been done by youth.

Benjamin Disraeli

Youth, even in its sorrows, has a brilliance of its own

LEADERSHIPLEADERSHIPLEADERSHIPLEADERSHIPLEADERSHIPJCI. Sen. Adv. A V. Vamanakumar

Past National President

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are

a leader. John Quincy Adams

Are Leaders born?If the answer is yes, then the business of training individuals to be leaders would be meaningless.

Though individuals are born with certain leadership qualities, like any other skills, leadership skills can also be

acquired through training and practice. Leadership is of course not position, but action. The ability of a leader

is judged not by how many followers he makes, but by how many leaders he makes. The business of leader-

ship wins when one helps a team to re-invent and re-imagine themselves. It is all about helping people in the

laddership of life, profession and society. Leaders are the painters of vision and architects of journey. A leader

should be capable to take his team members where they will never go alone.

Leadership is managing something that is hot

Managing Self

Managing People

Managing Image

Managing Change

Managing Expansion

Leadership effectiveness varies according to situational factors. The task being performed leader-sub-

ordinate relationship role clarity of members; norms of the organization, information availability, maturity

level of people, leaders position power are some of the factors which influence leadership effectiveness.

The true greatness of a man is judged by the number of people who turn-up to attend his burial.

Grow yourself as a good leader and leave a legacy.

GOAL SETTINGGOAL SETTINGGOAL SETTINGGOAL SETTINGGOAL SETTINGJCI Sen. A.V. Vamanakumar

All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future

could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day towards their goal. - Brian Tracy

Have you thought about what you want to be doing in five years time ?

Are you clear about your main objective in life ?

Do you know what you want to have achieved by the end of today ?

If you want to succeed you need to set goals. Without goals you lack focus and direction. To accomplish

your goals, however, you need to know how to set them. Goal setting is a process that starts with careful

consideration of what you want to achieve, and ends with a lot of hard work to actually do it.

Goal setting not only allows you to take control of your lifes direction; it also provides you a benchmark

for determining whether you are actually succeeding.

5 Golden Rules of Goal Setting5 Golden Rules of Goal Setting5 Golden Rules of Goal Setting5 Golden Rules of Goal Setting5 Golden Rules of Goal Setting

Set Goals that Motivate You

Set SMART Goals

For any goal to be achieved it must be designed to be SMART.

Specific

Measurable

Attainable

Relevant

Time Bound

Set Goals in Writing

Make an Action Plan

Stick With It

Remember, goal setting is an ongoing activity not just a means to an end. Build in reminders to keep you

on track and remember to review your goals continuously. Your end destination may remain quite similar

over the long term but the action plan you set your self along the way can change significantly. Make sure the

relevance, value, and necessity remain high.

Without principles, goals will never have the power to produce quality-of-life results. You can want todo the right thing, and you can even want to do it for the right reasons. But if you dont apply the right

principles, you can still hit a wall.

7 Principles of Goal Setting7 Principles of Goal Setting7 Principles of Goal Setting7 Principles of Goal Setting7 Principles of Goal Setting

1. Write down your goals in complete detail.

2. Develop commitment to the goals achievement.


6/32


3. Make sure the goals are something you really want, not just something that sounds good.

4. A goal cannot contradict any of your other goals.

5. Develop goals in the 6 areas of life :

Family and home

Spiritual and ethical

Social and cultural

Financial and career

Physical and health

Mental and educational

6. Write your goals in positive instead of negative.

7. By all means, make sure your goals are high enough.

Goal Setting and Achieving TargetsGoal Setting and Achieving TargetsGoal Setting and Achieving TargetsGoal Setting and Achieving TargetsGoal Setting and Achieving Targets

When you challenge yourself to be the best you can be at all times, your life becomes more meaningfuland purposeful. When you visualize what you want to accomplish, see it in your mind, you start crystallizing

the same. When you write down your goals, have a plan of action, and visualize that you are achieving the

same there is no doubt that you will be successful.

The only reason why you are not what you should be is that you

dont dare to be. Once you dare, once you stop drifting with the

crowd and face life courageously, life takes on a new significance.

New forces take shape within you. You know you are a leader in

one way or another; you know you are important to God and your

fellow men.

Charles E Jones

Everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the decision you have made in the

past. Deepak Chopra

If you want to lead a successful life, you need to be able to make good decisions. If you can learn to dothis in a timely and well-considered way, then you can lead your team to spectacular and well-deserved

success. However, if you either or make poor decisions, your team risks failure and your time as a leader will

probably be brutally short.

The ability to express oneself is perhaps the most important of skills a person can possess. Your

effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken or written word.

- Peter Drucker

All human exchange is based on communication. It is our responsibility to make others understand; not

their responsibility to understand us. Communication is an ongoing process, which comprises stages of trans-

mission and reception of a message. The word communication has been derived from the Latin word com-

munis which means to share. Communication is sharing of information from the sender to the receiver with

the message being understood as intended by the sender.

Emotions refer to a feeling and distinctive thoughts, psychological and biological states and

range of propensities to act. - Daniel Goleman

All emotions are impulses to act. Emotions are feelings about other feelings or experiences. They are our

own creations. Emotions can be used to win friends and to influence people; for people are attracted to

anyone who can make them feel good. Emotion management is managing ones emotions, feelings to

maintain a positive temperament for personal and interpersonal effectiveness. It is controlling and conquering

ability of the brain to create, maintain, and retrieve information about the past. A man with excellent memory

is always productive and efficient in his work and life.

Studies found that there are three distinct stages of memory. Sensory Register

Short Term Memory

Long Term Memory

It has been proved by many studies that if you learn or try to keep some matter in your mind, the retention

power of the brain will diminish within the first 20 minutes. So in order to keep a strong memory you need to

revise as per the following intervals

Techniques to Better MemoryTechniques to Better MemoryTechniques to Better MemoryTechniques to Better MemoryTechniques to Better Memory

Association

o Associating certain items with number association. Say

One Sun

Two Shoe

Three Tree

Four Door

The position one is remembered by the word sun. When you are asked to remember an item, at

position one, associate it with sun. e.g. Item number one is pencil. Visualize in mind that a pencil is

stabbed into the sun. Likewise you can do the same for the rest of the numbers. This will help you to

remember and recall the item fast and accurately

Visualization

o Visualization is the key to this trick. If you need to remember an incident, list of items without order,

an essay from history or any subject, try to visualize in mind. This needs constant practice and

repetition. e.g. World War II You may visualize Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party marching towards

Britain. Hitler commanding to the soldiers, Shooting, Britain defeated etc. as if in a movie.

Ridiculous Thinking

o Associate the facts, figures or words with some ridiculous meaning. e.g. in order to remember the

meaning of the word Cache (Secret Store) Visualize in mind that a robber is keeping CASH in a

secret place under ground.

Chain Method

o List of the items are chained together. e.g. Pencil, money, dam, bike, mud are the words.

Visualize in mind that your pencil and some money fall into a dam. In order to fetch it you

jumped into the dam with your bike but you got only some mud. This is like making a story.

Acronyms Method

o As we did in Goal Setting (SMART) you may associate the list with the Acronyms. This is also aneasier method to remember items in order.

Concentration

For better Memory Management you need sound concentration.

For better concentration :For better concentration :For better concentration :For better concentration :For better concentration :

Study difficult or boring subjects first.

Be aware of your best time of daystudy when youll be alert.
