“THE POWER OF CHANGE: LEADERSHIP ENERGY” AT KARAGANDA INDUSTRIAL UNIVERSITY

A workshop titled “The Power of Change: Leadership Energy” was held at Karaganda Industrial University, aimed at developing students’ leadership skills, enhancing self-awareness, and understanding the importance of ethical principles in both personal and professional activities.

 

The event was conducted in an interactive format and brought together active students interested in personal growth and the formation of strong value-based orientations. The speakers were Head of the Psychological Service Anzhelika Yaruta and Compliance Officer Samal Ibragimova, who presented a comprehensive view of modern leadership.

 

During the introductory part, the key objectives of the workshop were outlined: the development of conscious leadership, decision-making skills, and an understanding of the role of ethics and compliance in various areas of life.

 

Special attention was given to the mini-lecture “Ethics and Leadership,” where participants were introduced to the fundamental principles of honesty, transparency, and responsibility. Practical examples from educational and professional environments were discussed, demonstrating how leadership qualities are directly connected with adherence to rules, academic integrity, and corporate ethics.

 

The practical part of the workshop included group work with case studies reflecting real-life ethical dilemmas. Students analyzed situations involving conflicts of interest, peer pressure, and the choice between quick results and adherence to ethical standards. During the discussions, participants proposed well-reasoned and ethically sound solutions, developing their critical thinking and teamwork skills.

 

As part of the discussion platform “The Power of Personal Values in Leadership,” participants explored how emotional intelligence, personal beliefs, and internal values influence leadership style and decision-making. The speakers emphasized that a leader’s credibility and authority are built upon a strong value foundation.

 

The final stage was reflection, during which participants analyzed their strengths and identified areas for further development. The compliance officer provided practical recommendations on building trust through adherence to ethical standards, while the psychologist helped participants recognize their personal resources and growth points.

 

As a result of the workshop, each participant developed a “personal leadership plan,” outlining a specific step toward enhancing their leadership skills in alignment with the principles of honesty, responsibility, and compliance.

 

Such events contribute to fostering a culture of conscious leadership among students, strengthening moral values, and preparing competitive professionals capable of making balanced and ethically grounded decisions in modern society.
