III/ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

1. Describe your AIESEC experience (Induction to AIESEC, Taking

Responsibility, Leadership, Exchange stage) up to now and explain what

did you learn at each stage?

There came a day of March 2009 when I first learned about AIESEC and its

membership recruitment. I joined AIESEC FTU Hanoi one month later and

worked as an External Relations member. During the first three months, I had

chance to apply myself in sales work, to meet new high-profile businessmen, got

used to a unique culture of student. Then, I together with LC FTU HANOI

attended the National Conference in Vung Tau that summer. It was a big step for

me to understand more the fabulous values of AIESEC and the global network.

After the National Conference, my involvement in P-box team which ran the

HIV/AIDS sponsored by Standard Chartered bank as school contacter

enormously deepened my knowledge of AIESEC, making me not only see the real

impact of AIESEC to society but also get more inspired . At the same time, LC FTU

Hanoi had the second member recruitment in the year which mobilized the

strength and resources of the whole LC. I did try my best to get involved in every

round of the recruitment to have in-depth knowledge of the selection, criteria, event

organizing, etc…The more I get involved in AIESEC’s work, the more evidence I

have to recognize my growing love for AIESEC. In Octorber, I managed to apply for

.byethost10.com


[email protected]


Communication sub-team leader in my own ER team. This postition helps me

complete my experience as a leader as well as a mentor and gives me more

opportunities to generate and apply new ideas.

2. What do you see yourself doing five years from now? (Occupation,

family, your image, contribution to society etc) How do you see your

work in AIESEC will contribute to achieving this goal?

I’ll be 25 years old in five years from now on. If things go smoothly, I would

manage to apply for MBA in a university of America. Things I gained from AIESEC would

foster my dream to come true. Leadership experience, real achievements, broad

network will be a good stepping stone and a good point for me to fit in the course.

3. What kind of personal challenges do you predict for yourself in the

term as LCP, and how would you like to deal with them?

In my opinion, the biggest personal challenge I have to face up with if I was chosen as

elect-LCP is a trade-off between AIESEC’s work and my studying. There will be

tremendous pressure that I need to get through. Under these circumstances, I often

follow the quote: “Sometimes, you have to learn denial and self-sacrifice to get things

bigger. To address this prolem, a long-term plan and an order of priorities are

necessarily best for me. I would push myself harder to blance both.

4. Mention your 3 major strengths and 3 weaknesses?

3 major strengths: strategic thinking, communication and an inquiring mind

3 major weaknesses: aggressiveness, health, distraction

5. Describe how your strengths and weaknesses could influence your

LCP performance? (Maximum in 300 words)

One of my strengths I perceive is strategic thinking. Using skills of information

collection, analysis, synthesis, I always strive for getting the bigger picture for the

general sake in the long-run. I always follow the principle “self-sacrifice and denial”

when making a plan. Once one thing becomes the top priority, everything else is

secondary to it. My short-term and long-term plan usually keep updated and aligned

with changes and reality.

.byethost10.com


[email protected]


I am open to learning and always looking for ways to learn. I never think I know

everything there is to know. I am fond of listening to people, like their sharing and try

to make it mine. I willingly receive comments and try to learn fast form mistakes and

failure. This attitude would be able to complete me to meet the work requirement of

LCP.

Strength of communication enables me to convey my messages to other people clearly

and unambiguously. When it is combined with my sense of humor, it becomes more

powerful to create relaxed and warm atmosphere around.

One of my weaknesses is aggressiveness. It was showed in topic that I pay much

interest in. I discuss fiercely and protect my opinion strongly. Over-excitement may

be the main reason. I have improved it much for a long time.

Health is always a prolem I have to face up with from grade 12th. It did cause trouble

for me in concentrating on my studying and destroy some academic plan. To improve

it, I am now doing yoga and things are getting better. I hope that health is no longer

one of my concerns in the near future.

Lastly, I do acknowledge my distraction by private crisis as one of my weaknesses.

It’s really unprofessional in business and I did learn some lessons about it. However, I

really do something about it by temporarily neglecting the crisis and leave them

behind when I come to work, then back to it at time without affecting my

performance.

I will make the most of the positive ones to use them for benefit of AIESEC FTU

HANOI and improve the less positive ones.

IV/ YOUR AIESEC PATH

1. Why are you in AIESEC?

First, I wanted to join an organization so I applied for the membership recruitment of

AIESEC. In the recruitment rounds, I was sometimes even demotivated.

.byethost10.com


[email protected]


Then, when chosen, I took chance to discover and understand deeply the world of

AIESEC through my LC, I was gradually interested in work of my preference team in

particular and the culture of AIESEC in general. AIESEC not also gives chances of

development to its own members but also externals and make real impact in society.

That’s what it takes for me to love AIESEC.

Now, I’m really into my career in AIESEC. I feel happy when AIESEC has become

part of my student life.

2. What have been your 3 key achievements in AIESEC?

- Manage to find 1 team advisor for ER team and he is now becoming BOA of LC.

- Find one venue which is Aptech Hanoi for LC

- Become Communication sub-tem leader in ER team.

3. After hearing you introduce about AIESEC, the Principal of our

university do not believe that AIESEC could be the platform for young

people to explore and develop their leadership potential. How would

you address him? Use a maximum of 150 words!

I would give him some examples about the unique chances AIESECers have to take

leadership such as becoming OCP of a project for community development; OCP of a big and

professional recruitment, etc. And I may tell him more about other international young leaders

of AIESEC.

Besides, I would invite him to attend one of our LCMs or learning events so that he can

witness how a professional organization could be leaded by young students.

4. What is your understanding of AIESEC 2010? How can it relevant to

our LC?

AIESEC 2010 vision was created in IC 2005 India. The vision is stuck to a strategic

triangle which is a model to achieve more results and create a bigger impact through

linking the AIESEC Experience with the brand and culture of excellence. In more

detail, every member in everywhere_ local and global communities_ takes a life-

changing AIESEC Experience. And our rapidly growing membership network

.byethost10.com


[email protected]


connects high potential people around the world to generate an increasing volume of

AIESEC experience. And our contribution makes us be branded as the first choice of

activating leadership amongst young people and organizations.

The AIESEC 2010 vision is an analysed and revised for accuracy and relevance to

committee commitments and LC FTU HANOI is not an exception. Today, the drive

to realize the 2010 goals is prevalent and LC FTU HANOI together with others is

ready to achieve the vision for 2010.

V/ YOUR AIESEC FTU HANOI

1. Why have you decided to apply for the position of LCP?

When it came to apply for the position of LCP, I came up with a lot of motivation to run for

LCP position.

It all started with my passion for AIESEC. In AIESEC, we each make contribution with the

spirit “learning by doing”. What you put in is what you get out, the more you get involved in

AIESEC, the more you learn and grow. In fact, AIESEC always give me more than what I put in.

I love it. I owe it a debt of gratitude. In looking for an effective way to pay tribute to AIESEC, I

find LCP’s mission not only gives me the unique AIESEC experience but will also equips me

the empowerment to bring LC FTU to continuous development and success.

With the belief that what you put in is what you get out, I have participated in many activities

and events of LC during the past few months. My involvement with inside activities of ER such

as sales training, networking events as well as general events and project of LC like national

conference in Vung Tau, the pre-interview round of OGX, the HIV/AID project by P-box, the

autumn recruitment; all furnishes me with insights into the preparation and implementation

of AIESEC work from multiple perspective. The practical experience in the position of a sub-

team leader would further aid me for the LCP position that I am applying for. Through the

LCP position, I hope to work together with and energize the AIESEC FTU HANOI members as

well as external AIESECers. This position will allow me to apply my vision, skills and

experience into practice and to follow my passion, which is to develop a LC that would bring

in further positive changes within society.

2. Describe LC FTU HN’s current situation in terms of strengths &

weaknesses

Strengths:

FTU is a powerful credible brand. It has a reputation for high quality and is a

plentiful source of high-potential students.

LC FTU has grown substantially over a first year, and has experienced

member expansion.

Sales teams are strong and LC has got significant budget

Weakness:

Despite its advantage, member expansion leave it weak in some areas due to

the increasing numbers of members

- lack of connection between oldies and newies, between functional teams.

- The decline of enthusiasm in oldies and the gap of knowledge in newies.

FTU is the source of members only, which makes members similar and

undiversified.

Popularity of AIESEC FTU HANOI in its own university is not high

LC members have little presence in international seminars and conferences of

other committees, such as regional conference Heroes, NLDS in Singapore,

Thailand

Legal status restricts media approach, decrease branding effectiveness.

3. What could be the opportunities & challenges for LC FTU HN next

year?

Opportunity

NLDC bid will bring tremendous opportunities for ER in applying national

package and approach national accounts.

Local project create more spots for interns.

.byethost10.com


[email protected]


Economic recovery bring in more support from corporate partners

A new source of support: Foreign Trade university has not yet been exploited

Threat:

LC is exposed to rises of

- potential competitors

- narrowing mainstream market

Every member has their own priorities and as AIESEC work is of volunteer,

they sometimes are distracted.

4. From your perspective, describe the model of LCP & VPs that LC FTU

Hanoi needs for next term

Both LCP and VPs have unconditional love and passion for AIESEC. They see and uphold

values that the formers follow in common as AIESECers. They work hard and sacrifice

for the future generation and for sake of LC first.

VPs are those indispensably crucial in their own functional teams who not only have in-

depth speciality and high performance in their function but also have sweeping impact on

their members whereas LCP may not be the best amongst EB but the most suitable,

having clear vision and strong capability of motivating and coordinating all VPs and

members to contribute towards continuous improvement and achievement of the

common goals.

If possible, EB should be a mix of female and male AIESECers.

5. How do you see AIESEC FTU Hanoi in 3 years?

In the next 3 years, AIESEC FTU HANOI is seen as :

1st choice for leadership and personal development against young students and

organizations.

Top strong local committee in AIESEC Vietnam

Competitive organization with high popularity in Foreign Trade University

.byethost10.com


[email protected]


Having positive impact on surroundings.

High credibility to stakeholders.

6. Imagine that your year as LCP is gone and your successor is talking

about your main achievements during past year in front of the LC. What

is he/she saying?

He/she might say:

- In the term 2010-2011, LC has three more BOAs, 15 interns realized, 10 EPs realized.

- 1 local project is conducted successfully and has sweeping effect.

- The number of members comes up to 55.

- The supportive partnership between professors of FTU and AIESEC FTU HANOI

- LC has partnership with national accounts.

7. Describe what your preferred leadership style is and what kind of

team would you like to work with (not concrete people or personalities,

but more what kind of atmosphere, and how the team should function)

If it has one line to sum up my preferred leadership style, it is “Give to Get”. It may

sound like sales principle, though in the context of leadership, it still works. What I give to

my colleages is direction, guidance, tools, support, challenges and opportunities to facilitate

their work, everything they need to succeed. Most importantly, I inject passion and

enthusiasm into everything; turning boring tasks into fabulous missions and making the

colleagues feel important and highly appreciated. Then, what I get back is a bigger picture:

the vision. People love their work, they succeed and naturally get involved in the cause to

bring the vision into being. The bottom line is that I focus on people development to get the

result achived and to get the vision done. I did apply this style in a smaller scale, my subteam

and the result is encouraging.

It would be great to work with team in which people all make contribution to the common

goals. People work independently and give support to one another when necessary.

8. What is the most important characteristic of a leader in your opinion?

There is a variety of essential key characteristics to leaders fitting in different

organizations. Regarding to the LCP position, people development, in my opinion, is

.byethost10.com


[email protected]


the most important characteristic. People development means not only putting right

people with right skills and experience at the right place and at right time so that they

can develop at their best but also means inspiring, motivating, encouranging them to

ignite their dream in the direction of common goals. If the leader has a clear vision

but without people development, there stands a little chance to achieve the common

goals.

9. Please explain to the whole LC why the Compendium is crucial (max.

300 words)

A compendium is a short but comprehensive compilation of a body of knowledge. A

compendium usually contains principal heads, or general principles of a larger

system. There is no question how important it is to the whole LC.

First, the compendium aims to establish the legislative framework for a LC in which

the policies and procedure framework related to operation and structure of LC are

stated clearly. It is compulsorily applied to all members, leaders, exchange

participants, alumni and guide all activities in LC such as decision-making process,

election procredure, etc.

Moreover, there are always different compendiums in varied level in AIESEC such as

LC compendium, national compendium and international compendium. LC

compendium is aligned with others so that ensure the consistence of operation

between local, national and international committees.

In conlclusion, the compendium acts as a constituition of a LC that you need to know

and follow it.

10. What culture would you like to see AIESEC in FTU Hanoi having?

What would be your key “strategies” to foster this culture?

I would like to seee AIESEC FTU HANOI bring in a unique culture with the right

mix of formality and sociality. To foster this culture, many things should be done.

- support internal communication channel to share business information related to

AIESEC work easily and fully.

- train and equip members with business culture to apply in work such as meetings

.byethost10.com


[email protected]


with corporate partners, learning events, networking events, etc.

- motivate dancing culture amongst the whole LC. All members know to dance, love

dancing and want to dance.

- create environment of inspiration, learning and ambition.

11. How do you evaluate LCP term 2009-2010’s performance?

It’s 9 months since AIESEC FTU Hanoi was born, AIESEC FTU HANOI has already

had many achievements. It all has been for high performance and continuous

contribution of EB, especially LCP.

Under her term, a 9-month-old LC has gradually expressed itself amongst others. Her

performance is consistently high and result-oriented. She has a good command of

English, critical thiking, broad knowledge in different fields. Together with all VPs,

she managed to follow the yearly plan and meet the requirement of a LCP for a start-

up LC. She has devoted and sacrified many significant things to the sustainability of

LC. She shows strong resilence in a long run. LCP has applied her skills and

experience efficiently in her mission. She did ensure the highest representative of LC

FTU HANOI to external events and to international network. Through the term, her

presentation skill has been significantly improved.

Wish she had more time to communicate with people and stay longer with AIESEC.

VI/ ENDORSEMENTS

1. Endorsement from Ms. Ngo Thi Minh Hai, VPICX 2009/2010:

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Ngo Thi Minh Hai. I am currently Vice President of Incoming Exchange of

AIESEC FTU Hanoi.

I am writing to recommend Nguyen Thi My Hanh as a potential candidate to apply for

LCP position of AIESEC FTU Hanoi 10-11.

Though Hanh and I have not been in the same team, I realize that Hanh is dynamic and

effective girl. To function as a member of External relation team, she has contributed a

lot to the development of ER team in particular and LC FTU Hanoi in general through our

.byethost10.com


[email protected]


long-term partnership with APTECH, who provides us the venue for LCM some times.

Besides, she also shows her talent in communication skills via her broad networking and

one of her friends, Mr. Đinh Phạm Trân is now also helping AIESEC, especially with OGX

in interviewing and training EPs.

Moreover, Hanh is a leader of one sub-team in ER. Through which, I am sure that she has

gained much experience in leadership and management skill.

For the reasons above, I think Hanh is a suitable choice for the position of LCP of AIESEC

FTU HN 10-11. I am sure that if AIESEC brings her a chance for being a leader, she would

be able to do amazing things for us.

Best regards,

Ngo Thi Minh Hai

VP ICX AIESEC FTU Hanoi 09-10

2. Endorsement from Ms. Nguyen Thi Trang Nhung, VPER 2009/2010

To whom it may concern,

I would like to recommend Ms. Ha My Hanh as a candidate for LCP position of LC

FTU Expansion. She not only creates a good connection inside her team but also

motivates and develops them to improve their skills and reach their goals.

Recently, My Hanh has proved her critical thinking in drawing and implanting . In

her position as the Communication sub-team leader, My Hanh has shown her

responsibility and leadership potential in leading her team sub-team plan.

Furthermore, she was always innovative and enthusiastic in AIESEC’s tasks

including writing articles for LC’s website or branding for NLDC.

Moreover, My Hanh is always willing to offer her support and assistance to people at

other teams such as: OGX team or IM team. She would be a property to any

organization and I recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue,

especially a leadership position.
