6. The primary role of an MCP is to lead and manage a high performing team. What is your leadership style? What do
you believe will be the strengths and potential pitfalls of applying this style to your MC team?
My leadership style is taking a contributive approach
The strengths of applying this approach is the shared energy and synergy within the team.
Strengthening the strengths as well as managing the weaknesses
The pitfalls of this approach is that decision making is slowed down as everyone’s contribution has to be
considered
Identify three key trends that are affecting Uganda and explain how those trends are influencing AIESEC in Uganda’s
contribution, structures and processes?
The Global financial crisis:
This has led to the restructuring and resizing of companies hence led to the reduction of exchange numbers.
AIESEC brand identity:
AIESEC in Uganda is not known, it’s not clear. It is not known as exchange based. Members have little
information about exchange and its related opportunities.
Alumni engagement
There are few activities which engage the alumni and the organization, improving this relationship is
important for the organizational growth, as they will be encouraged to support it.
What do you see as AIESEC Uganda’s critical area(s) of success in the coming 2 years?
AIESEC expansion in more LC’s.
This has been important as more manpower will be injected into the organization hence more member
development.
Strong University support and presence
We get a lot of support in the universities as we are well known and respected by the universities.
