SIFE Macquarie: SIFE Indcution Program (SIP)
April 13, 2009
SIFE is about being an entrepreneur to benefit the community. The mission of SIFE is to provide tertiary students with an opportunity to make a difference in their communities and to develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills. Through creating educational outreach projects, we are making a difference in our local communities and helping to change the world one project at a time. The purpose of SIP is to prepare the students who are interested to take on a leadership position and to understand SIFE values.
SIP is a 1 day workshop that will use a combination of case studies to illustrate principles from, The Art of War, (which was written in the sixth century BC by a Chinese military genius – Sun Tzu. ) and group discussions to stimulate your learning to adapt to different situations and personalities. SIP will focus on 4 principles, Fostering Leadership Values (Semco), Balancing Rewards and Punishments (General Electric), The Importance of Foreknowledge (Nine Dragons) and The Importance of Philosophy (Virgin).
