The use of poetry as a medium enabled a deeper exploration of leadership themes, allowing participants to connect emotionally and intellectually with the subject matter. The interactive format of the session encouraged active participation, making it a dynamic and engaging learning experience.

In addition to theoretical discussions, the role-playing activities and scenario-based learning, enabled the participants to apply leadership concepts in a simulated academic environment. These exercises provided valuable insights into conflict resolution, effective delegation, and decision-making under pressure.Faculty members were introduced to emerging trends in academic leadership, such as the growing importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and lifelong learning.

By the end of the session, faculty members expressed their appreciation for the insights gained and the opportunity to discuss leadership challenges in a collaborative setting. Many found the discussion on balancing academic and administrative responsibilities particularly relevant and valuable.

Overall, the Academic Leadership Session was a highly enriching experience that provided faculty members with practical tools and perspectives to enhance their leadership skills. The initiative successfully reinforced the importance of leadership in academia and encouraged faculty members to adopt innovative approaches in their professional roles. The Department of Languages, through this initiative, reaffirmed its commitment to faculty development and continuous learning, ensuring that educators are well-equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of higher education.
