1) For all JCI Osaka members2) within a short time frame3) in a low-cost way
To change your community and people to be better, you need to havepowerful leadership. However in Japan, there are luck of leadershipdevelopment program.
We JCI should be the first one to develop leadership, and produce strong
leader to community.
When those leaders started to provide development opportunity,community and people will change positively and will be able to reform thecommunity be better. And spontaneously there will be leader producing
cycle in the community. Thus, there will be a mechanism that people
support and make positive change to their community.
JCI Osaka has started leadership development program back in 32 years
ago. This program has two objectives. One is Leadership development
program and the other is JCI Osaka board member election.
JCI Osaka board member election is an opportunity for not only thecandidates but also for other members to develop their leadership. JCIOsaka provide an opportunity for all the member to develop their leadership
through supporting and cheering candidates, creating caucus speech
together which should be written what you will do to create positive change
to your community and to young active citizens when you became a board
member. This program is for more than 1,000 members of JCI Osaka, andwill be conducted within a short time frame, and is in a low-cost.
That is to say, our board member election is the the best way to develop
all the members leadership through the process of creating leaders (so to
say board members). We have produced many leaders to enhance ourcommunity be better.
We have positioned this development program as follows:
1) An opportunity for more than 1000 members to think about what theyneed to think, attract, act and serve as an engine of community.
2) An opportunity for all the members to think and learn what is required tobe the leaders within a short time frame (30-45 days).
3)An opportunity to obtain leadership with very limited cost, which is
US$20 per person.
Overview : We have done 9 caucus meeting(public speaking) consist of candidates
caucus and his committee members cheering.
In each caucus meeting, there are different theme. Based on own thought,

candidate incorporate the opinions of his committee members and madeup one address along to the theme, and have to deliver ones address to all
JCI Osaka members without seeing note within a time frame. And forcheering, committee member cheer for candidate by addressing back up
speech for candidate, performance expressing candidates good point,
making promotion videos, and other ways depending on each caucus
cheering theme. Each committee will prepare campaign headquarters, andmake an place where committee members can gather. In the campaign
headquarters, candidates and committee members create each caucus
speech learning from each others though, and also prepare for caucus
cheering. Thus we provide all the member an opportunity to develop theirleaderships. Further more, through discussing what you should do tocreate positive change, how to do it, and how to involve members andcitizens, members will develop their leadership. And when all the members
went through this leadership development program, member have alreadya clear view of what they should do to create positive change. And next
year when new committees formed under board officer (First year of beinga board member, you should play an role as a project chairperson for JCI
Osaka official project), all the members know the vision and mission thatthe project chair (newly joined board member) and they can proceed the
project very powerfully and effectively.
Thus, this leadership development program is a great opportunity to train
member to be the leader with in a short time frame and in a low-cost.

September 22 First JCI Osaka board meeting for 2014.
Recommendations : There is a fact that indicate this election campaign is playing an big role ofdeveloping leadership. Lot of JCI Japan and other chapter member come toinspect our caucus meeting, and the number of observer is increasing year
by year.
For example, to the latest caucus meeting, we had president, executive
vice president, and project chairman of JCI Japan, and also manymembers including JCI chapter president.
Additionally, some chapters are interested of bringing election campaign
to their chapter and we are asked to advice for them. Their objectives areboth to elect their board member and to develop their members leadership.
Thus, we are confident that our election campaign is extremely wellprogramed for developing leadership.
Following point are important to make this program more effective:
1. In order to involve as much member as possible, all the committee of
JCI Osaka has to throw up at least one candidate.
2. Adjustment of schedule and establishment of rules and theme are very
important.
3. We have to evaluate not only the result of the caucus speech or cheer
leading, but also the process of this election as the leadershipdevelopment program.
These 3 points are important for this leadership development program, andit should be conducted within a short term, with a low-cost, and to as
many member as possible. The original objective of the program is toelect our board member for next year but this is not to grade candidate oreach members ability nor to measure one against others. If you implement
the procedure and method of election, it will become a great opportunity
for each member to learn to be leader and for candidate, it is a great
training session to become a leader for next year. The important essenceof the leadership development is all in the process of JCI Osaka election.
