"Leadership is the ability of a person to influence people in their environment so that they are willing to achieve the desired goals. A leader must be able to inspire, influence, and motivate," said Wabup Merlan.

This further motivated the dozens of students who attended the lecture.

"A future leader is someone who can fulfill several aspects such as long-term thinking, looking out for a larger organization, influencing others besides their group, emphasizing on vision, values and motivation, clever in assessing the situation and being able to think in the context of change and renewal," she added.

On the other hand, the Dean of FEB, Dr. Darman M.Si, expressed his gratitude to Vice Regent Dr. Merlan who was willing to take the time to give a lecture to the students.
