Activity 3. Reading a Text
Read the following article and answer the questions that follow.
Excerpt of Innovative Leadership

David Gliddon

Innovative leadership is a philosophy and system that synthesizes different

leadership styles in organizations to influence members to produce creative ideas,
products, services and solutions. The key role in the practice of innovative
leadership is the innovation leader, but successful innovation leaders rely on their
members to be innovative too.

Innovative leadership encompasses a two-tiered approach. The first tier of

innovative leadership involves an innovative approach to leadership itself. Leaders
should consistently be looking for new ways they can approach their roles. They
should also constantly be looking for new ways they can address challenges in their
organization, how they can solve persistent issues, and how they can continue to
evolve and be agile and efficient at addressing such challenges.

The second tier of innovative leadership entails leadership for innovation. Leaders
should consider ways they can encourage members to think differently and work
in new ways to face challenges. They should look for ways to inspire members to
come up with new ideas, products, and services to stay ahead of the competition,
especially when resources are limited.

Activity 4. Reading a Model Text

Read this description of a successful businessman and answer the
following questions.

Henry Sy

Henry Sy, the richest man in the Philippines, has been working since the age
of 12 until now. Although he had humble beginnings, he has many good qualities
that made him a business magnate.

One of these is his will-power. As a young boy, he did a lot of buying and selling
to help his family survive during the WWII. One time he was hit with shrapnel but
this did not stop him from his ventures. Even while pursuing his studies at Far Eastern
University, he continued selling shoes, accessories and other goods. Then he decided
to open his first department store in 1972, two months after the declaration of the
martial law. He continued opening more stores despite the sluggish start. When he
constructed the first mall in 1983, the economy of the country was declining. The
debt moratorium, hyper-inflation and social unrest threatened his business, but he
persevered. He became even more determined to pursue his goals.

Another of Henry’s good quality is his innovativeness. He came up with a lot of

ground-breaking ideas in Philippine merchandising. He opened the first air-
conditioned store that sold shoes in a very fashionable set-up. He eventually decided
to invest in shopping center business by constructing malls including the Mall of Asia,
the biggest mall in the region. He also embarked on other retail formats such as
supermarkets, hardware stores and appliance stores. He also diversified his
investments by going into banking business which included Banco de Oro and
Equitable PCI Bank. Currently, he is into real estate business building condominiums
and housing units.

Still another good quality is his corporate responsibility. Henry Sy knows how to
pay back to the community. He has been supporting various academic institutions
by providing scholarships to poor but deserving students. He has also donated school
buildings and libraries. Aside from school-related endeavors, he is also active in
environmental protection activities. As a proof, SM stores all over the country
encourage the use of the recyclable bags. He has also helped victims of disasters
such as typhoons and earthquakes.

Indeed, his enormous success in business could be attributed to his core

values. For him, it is not wealth that makes a man but his morals.

Throughout our history we have read about leaders who by their own
right build their names on positive achievements and to some degree
on negative actions. For every era there had been leaders who to our
own respective opinions have been effective. Whether it is being able
to move the people’s hearts or implement programs for the
betterment of the country, there are leaders who have left a
significant contribution to their respective fields. In this lesson we are
going to look back in history and study leaders who exhibited
exemplary innovativeness. Remember that innovative leadership
knows no age, race, skin color, and any form of status. Innovative
leadership is for everyone.

NTRODUCTION

You have already been exposed to the theories that influence what
innovative leadership means. In the previous lesson, you were given
a very simple way of rating innovative leaders from the past to the
present. At this point, you will now be assessing/evaluating initiatives
made by government and non-government institutions in response
to a crisis. To put this into a timelier context, we will focus on the
initiatives made by different institutions and individuals in the current
COVID-19 pandemic.

Coca-Cola Philippines recognized as one of the top Socially Responsible
Companies in Asia
ByBusinessMirror October 16, 2019

Coca-Cola Philippines was honored by the Asia Corporate Excellence and Sustainability
Awards (ACES) as one of the Top Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Advocates in Asia
because of their unwavering commitment to sustainable business operations in the
Philippines.
The Top CSR Advocates award is presented to companies that place genuine attention to
the needs and wellbeing of all its stakeholders as concretized by initiatives that focus on
community engagement, environmental protection, and social empowerment.
In today’s mindful and socially-aware world, the success of a company is not solely
measured by sales and profits but also by its purpose. Now, more than ever, companies
are taking on the responsibility to give back and create a positive impact in society, as its
consumers, employees, and stakeholders look to them for real action against some of the
world’s pressing issues.
Among the companies striving to make a difference is Coca-Cola, one of the world’s
leading beverage giants. In the Philippines, Coca-Cola continuously ingrains sustainability
and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in its development, focusing on the long-term
and ensuring that they grow the right way as a business through various programs and
initiatives that uplift communities and safeguard the environment.
The Coca-Cola system in the Philippines takes on a multi-faceted approach to its
sustainability framework, focusing on various pillars including Waste, Water, Women
empowerment, and more.
The Company’s most recent efforts have been towards their World Without Waste vision—
a commitment to collect and recycle the equivalent of 100% of its product packaging by
2030. To drive its advocacy in the Philippines, Coca-Cola has mapped out a plan to boost
the waste management system in the country. In this circular economy model, its
packaging goes full-circle, transformed into recycled PET bottles or other useful products.
Collection systems and recycling efforts implemented with the aid of public and private
partners across multiple communities in the country, and an investment in an advanced
first PET bottle recycling facility are some of the main initiatives to take its World Without
Waste vision further.
Still on the path of environmental protection, the Company also practices responsible
water stewardship, understanding the value of water for their business and for life. At
present, the company has gone beyond its initial goal of 100% water replenishment to
124%. Its operations have cut down water consumption by 27% from 2014 to 2018,
saving an equivalent of 5.27 billion liters of water, and have recovered, treated, and
returned more than 17.5 million liters of wastewater since 2014.

 Activity 1. Reading a TextRead the following article and answer the
questions that follow

Continuation..

Beyond its operations, Coca-Cola also instituted the Agos program to provide communities with
access to water and protects watersheds. Through the Agos Ram Pump, a technology that elevates
water to far-flung communities, around 215,000 members of 210 Agos sites in 49 provinces now
have access to this valuable resource. In Marawi, Agos was able to bring a mobile potable water
plant that served more than 500,000 gallons of safe drinking water to families and students.

Community and people-centered in all that they do, Coca-Cola also created a program for the
street-smart women who drive 90% of the Company’s local business – the sari-sari store owners.
Through the Sari-Sari Store Training and Access to Resources (STAR) program, these women are
provided skills training, peer mentoring, and access to resources to grow their businesses. Present
in 16 regions and 68 provinces, the STAR program has impacted the lives of over 150,000 women.

In an Impact Report done by the Company in 2017, it was discovered that 97% of the
STARpreneurs found the training useful and 98% of them applied their learnings to their business.
After the program, 65% of the trainees felt confident of their future financial stability.

Throughout each step of the way, from the way they create beverages that refresh and cater to
the needs of its customers, to the way they provide economic growth for those who help deliver
and sell their products to more Filipinos, to the way they take care and grow the communities
they serve, Coca-Cola strives to do good, go beyond what is expected them, and take all Filipinos
who also strive for more further with them in their journey.
