Start Developing Leadership Skills By Becoming An Assistant Leader™

Both the Assistant Leadership™ and Leadership™ programs help our students build the leadership skills essential for success in life. Created and patented by Grandmaster Hyong, the two leadership programs are unique to P. S. Academy.

 

Our Assistant Leadership program™ develops leadership skills with the help of extrinsic, or external, motivation. Here is how it works: To succeed in the Academy's program by achieving higher belts and acquiring more teaching privileges, a student must also achieve at home. This means adopting a daily discipline of completing chores and practicing Tae Kwon Do skills. While gaining this discipline at home, students progress at the Academy.

 

These extrinsic rewards motivate them to improve their performance both at the Academy and at home. Students learn they can change their behavior. As they follow the examples set by Black Belts and other leaders at the Academy, they are rewarded with greater success and higher status.

 

We have designed the program so there is no fear of failure, and by doing this we have virtually guaranteed success to all members of our Assistant Leadership program™.

 

First, students perform tasks with which they are comfortable. Completing simple tasks as a leader creates tremendous self-esteem in someone who has never been labeled a leader before.

 

Eventually, they develop the skills necessary to achieve more difficult tasks and to help new students and lower ranking belts learn about the Academy. As students gain in competence, our Assistant Leadership program™ continues to strengthen their leadership skills. Once students are comfortable in their roles as Assistant Leaders, they can look forward to even more success in our Leadership program™.

 

And the discipline, self-esteem, and sense of accomplishment they have gained carry over into achievements at home, at school, and at work.

 

 

 

Join Our Leadership Program™

In the Leadership program™ students build on the skills developed as Assistant Leaders. In this unique program they discover the value of intrinsic, or inner, motivation. They challenge themselves with new tasks – not for rewards but for their own satisfaction of accomplishing something they couldn’t do before.

 

Students are most often measured for academic intelligence. Leadership development, in contrast, focuses on the Seven Areas of Intelligence in which an individual may excel:

 

  • Bodily/Physical

  • Visual/Spatial

  • Mathematical/Logical

  • Linguistic

  • Intrapersonal

  • Interpersonal

  • Musical

     

    Each student learns which areas hold the greatest strength for him or her. In this process of self-discovery, they may find strengths that they didn’t know about. They set a specific goal of something they would like to accomplish in one of the Seven Areas of Intelligence. (For children under 10, parents set a goal for them in an area they already feel good about.)

     

    As students gain more confidence, they may challenge themselves in areas where they are not so strong. It’s fun for them to accomplish a goal and then set another, achieve it, and repeat the process.

     

    Their confidence increases along with the desire to achieve new and more difficult goals.

     

    Through the Leadership program™, students quickly learn how to use the skills of Goal Setting, Personal Organization, Personal Planning, and Time Management. They are prepared to take on leadership roles within the academy.

     

    Each student gains immensely from working with others. By learning the ability to lead others within the academy, they gain a new perception of themselves.

     

    With hands-on experience in helping others and a sense of accomplishment within themselves, they visibly increase their own estimation of self-worth.

     

    Then, they are ready to take on leadership roles outside the academy…in other aspects of their lives.
