Berbagi Pengetahuan: Kepemimpinan itu Sangat Penting

Abstract

This community service webinar was held to increase understanding and leadership skills among Pelita Bangsa University students. The choice of this topic is based on the urgent need to strengthen students' leadership abilities, which is an essential factor in their personal development and future careers. The service method used included a presentation from an experienced resource person, Mrs. Nuri Suryanti, and a question-and-answer session conducted via the Google Meet platform. The questionnaires and in-depth interviews significantly improved participants' self-confidence, managerial abilities, and communication skills. In addition, participants also reported direct application of the skills learned in their internship projects, part-time jobs, or full-time jobs, which positively impacted their performance and productivity. Although several obstacles, such as time constraints and lack of direct interaction, additional materials distributed to participants helped overcome these obstacles. In conclusion, this webinar succeeded in providing a significant positive impact and has excellent potential for further development through follow-up workshops and online modules. These results emphasize the importance of community service programs in equipping students with the skills necessary to become influential leaders and positively impact their communities.
