RI THEME: ROTARY MAKING A DIFFERENCE

JUNE IS ROTARY FELLOWSHIP MONTH

As the countdown to the end of the Rotary 2017-18 year

con�nues, we welcomed our last guest speaker for the

year namely Mr. Toney A. Olton, Principal Consultant of

the Po'er Centre. Mr. Olton gave a most thought pro-

voking and engaging lecture on Transforma�onal Leader-

ship.

Mr. Olton's speech was really a challenge to each of us. A

challenge to

♦ think on “what it fully means to be a leader; the

difference between management and leadership”.

♦ find six words to accurately describe your team

♦ imagine your organisa�on opera�ng at its op�mum

and then assess its current posi�on and vision.

♦ Give a score from 1-10 on the performance gap differ-

ence between reality and vision

He argued that once the above were answered honestly,

then that would give an understanding of the leadership

impera�ve which is the reason a leader func�ons in the

space in which he operates and the way in which he

moves the team from the present score to the ideal 10.

Leadership is therefore a rela�onship with the ability to

communicate worth and poten�al of others so clearly

that they come to see it in themselves.

Leadership involves Emo�onal Intelligence which by its

nature is simply the ability to operate from a high person-

al awareness where you are both self aware and mindful

of others.

Below Mr. Toney Olton as he addresses the Club:

Transforma(onal leadership con(nued:

Mr. Olton further advised that leadership involves Self

Management; Consequen�al thinking; the ability to

recognise pa'erns; the ability to be both pragma�c

and op�mis�c the ability to be empathe�c and to com-

municate so that others understand our goal. Leader-

ship requires goals including noble and inspira�onal

goals.

Transforma�ve leadership is the ability to transfer

your knowledge and leadership abili�es to others so

that they become the leaders of tomorrow.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE EXTENDED TO THE CLUB

Our President Paul has indicated that our global grant appli-

ca(on to provide a water tank and pre-fabricated kitchen

garden structure with a built in (med irriga(on system to 18

families in Bridgetown, Barbados has been approved.

The applica(on was submi9ed to the Rotary Founda(on by

RC Barbados and RC Lexington and was approved. The

award is in the amount of $34,750.00.

We thank the RC Lexington, Kentucky who had agreed to

lend assistance in developing the global grant proposal. The

Interna(onal Service Commi9ee selected our project for

funding in the 2017-18 Rotary fiscal year and worked with

us closely on the Global Grant applica(on.

Our project was one of nine projects under considera(on

and was eventually selected based on the informa(on for-

warded to them by Pres. Paul which included the photo-

graphs of the installa(on of the kitchen gardens and the

simple joy on the children’s faces.

WELL DONE AND THANKS TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED BOTH

NEAR AND FAR TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT.
