Happy Leader Model ( Liu, 2023)

The Happy Leader Model (Liu, 2023) comprises three layers, with the ultimate GOAL of becoming a HAPPY LEADER.

GOAL = HAPPY LEADER

SSS = The pathway to becoming a HAPPY LEADER = Attributes of a HAPPY LEADER

EAR = Social-emotional learning techniques to reach the goal

5P’s = Five key principles of building up social-emotional competencies

The Happy Leader Model is like a dartboard, the goal (inner bullseye) can be reached by developing the three main attributes of being a happy leader (SSS) through practising the social-emotional learning techniques (EAR) enhanced by the five key principles of social-emotional competencies. Everyone can do it so long as you habitually practise. Remember, the more you practise, the happier you will become as your dart move closer and closer to the inner bullseye of the dartboard.

SSS : WHAT attributes should a happy leader have?

To achieve the goal of becoming a happy leader at home and at work, social-emotional learning is one of the core learning and development fundamentals. It is vitally important if one wants to stay happy and bring happiness to others. Social-emotional learning (社交情緒學習能力) comprises three elements (SSS):

	Self-capability (自理能力), e.g., enjoy being able to take care of oneself
	Social Competence (社交能力), e.g., enjoy social interaction and the company of others
	Social Contribution (貢獻能力), e.g., enjoy working as a team and contributing to a common goal

SSS is the pathway to becoming a happy leader. They are the attributes of a happy leader.

Everyone can be a happy leader at every stage of life and in every role they play, be it childhood, adulthood, or parenthood. In other words, the Happy Leader Model can be applied to the family, the school, the workplace, the community or any other setting.

EAR : HOW can one become a happy leader?

EAR are the social-emotional learning techniques to reach the goal of becoming a happy leader.

Become a happy leader by learning to ENJOY, APPRECIATE, REFLECT

Touch your EAR. Enjoy learning and work like play. Make use of the social-emotional learning techniques (EAR) to develop the attributes of a happy leader (SSS).

The Happy Leader Model is supported by the published Social Star Mirror Model (Liu, 2015, commencing in 2004), which includes the five principles of play, positive reinforcement, professional development / parent education, programme and point of breakthrough.

These social-emotional learning concepts have been successfully applied in corporation training, a wide spectrum of educational settings (including tertiary institutions, secondary and primary schools, kindergartens and nurseries, and early childhood development centres), youth projects as well as gifted and talent development programmes.

In fact, every task, job or profession involves rules, just like games. You need to analyse and digest the interrelationships of the rules and factors involved, and connect them to the operating system. If you want to become an expert in your field, you need to be familiar with the rules. If you do so, you can master the workflow and system of the profession thoroughly and effectively.
