Leadership Skills Will Teach You To Be A Better Person: Khan

The greatest leader is not the leader that does the greatest things he is one that tells people to do great things.

These were the words of Divisional Police Commander West SSP Abdul Khan while speaking to  students of Gandhi Bhawan Primary School during the prefects induction ceremony on Friday.

Mr Khan said to be a leader you will be able to learn to be a better person and make changes in places where it is really needed.

He reminded students that even though they may not be chosen as a prefect now that does not mean that they will not be leaders in the future.

“Leadership is one of the most important skills because you will learn to be the best person you can be and make the world a better place,” Mr Khan said.

“I myself was never chosen as a leader during my years in primary and secondary school. I continued to work hard and persevered in what I am told.

“So to you prefects the badge that you will be wearing today is not for decoration, it is all about action and to you students anyone can be a leader it is about doing the right thing.”

School headboy Krishal Raj from Tavakubu in Lautoka said he was very excited about his new role and he was confident that he was ready to take on his new role.

The 13-year-old aspires to be a lawyer.

“My parents are proud of my achievements and this is exciting and a challenge,” he said.

“This will make me confident and I will work very hard because I know it is my duty to look after 609 students.”

School headgirl Rosalia Vakawale said her main goal was to show respect to students and help teach them in ways that are right.

The 14-year-old from Tavakubu aspires to be a doctor.

“I want to show the students respect and they will need someone who will direct them in the right way so I am willing to help them work hard in their studies,” she said
