Leadership Training Project for Supreme Student Government (Ssg) Advisers in The Division of Batangas City

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Effective and responsive leadership is the core of the SSG. These duties set the bar high for officers and advisers of the organization leaving a picture of an ideal organization composed of people who are driven, proactive, and goal-oriented. Commonly, many new teachers without experience in handling SSG are appointed as adviser of the organization. Without adequate know-how of running the organization, it would be difficult for the adviser to help the officers turn into genuine leaders and fulfill their responsibilities. This research will suit the varied needs of SSG Advisers along with leadership training project that will intensify their potentials.
