What is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

My philosophy of leadership style focuses on leading with effective delegation and is deeply rooted in the principles of education and mentorship. I believe in setting clear expectations, evaluating team members' skills, and empowering them to make decisions and take ownership of their work. I maintain open communication, hold team members accountable, and provide guidance for their growth and development. I am transparent and fair in my dealings with team members, and I treat everyone with respect and dignity. I am willing to roll up my sleeves and work with a team, demonstrating a strong work ethic and dedication to achieving our collective goals.

What do you think should be the University’s top priority over the next 10 years?

The top priorities of the university over the next ten years can differ depending on the specific mission and goals. However, we do have a few overarching priorities. Maintaining and enhancing the quality of education should always be a top priority. This includes improving teaching methods, curriculum, and research programs. Embracing technological advancement is crucial. We need to invest in online learning tools, research technology and administrative systems to stay competitive. Creating an inclusive and diverse campus community fosters innovation and prepares students for a globalised world. Addressing environmental concerns by implementing sustainable practices in campus operations and integrating sustainability into the curriculum is increasingly important. Making higher education accessible and affordable to a diverse range of students is a social responsibility. This might involve finding a way to reduce tuition costs or increase scholarship opportunities. Building strong relationships with the local community can benefit both the university and the surrounding areas. Initiatives like community service and outreach can strengthen these ties.

What are some of the major changes that Covid-19 has bought in the education sector according to you?

The coronavirus pandemic has reshaped education. It has done more than just convert classrooms to online learning. It examined fundamental ideas about teaching, testing, attendance, finance, the role of technology, and the human relationships that bind the education sector together. It has revolutionized the way we think about learning. Public schools that were once full of students have become ghost towns and all extracurricular activities have been suspended until further notice. Educational institutions had to find a solution to continue the academic year until the education sector fully adopted distance learning.

Any suggestions/messages that you would like to give to the current youth?

I would like to tell the youth that you are the architect and ambassador of the future and your potential is boundless. Embrace your curiosity, be fearless in your pursuit of knowledge, and don’t be afraid to dream big. Remember that setbacks are just stepping stones on your path to success. Your unique perspective and passion can drive positive change in the world. Cultivate empathy, respect diversity, and use your energy to make the world a better place. Embrace the challenges and opportunities of our rapidly changing world, and never underestimate the power of your ideas and actions. Your generation can shape a brighter, more inclusive, and sustainable future for all.

How is your relationship with the students of your college?

In general, I would say that my relationship with students is very good. I never send students to the office or raise my voice. I love photographing peace and quiet and setting the tone for the class. If a student wants to challenge or act out, we always address the student immediately and individually. In very difficult cases, a phone call at home is usually sufficient, with the result that management never intervenes.
