and facilitate relationships. Incorporate the 4-Way Test.
• What is the meaning of "Leadership is a Relationship"? How would you echo this statement
within the members of the club as well as the Board of Directors?
• Your Community Service/Club Service Director is long overdue in sending her proposals to
the school in order for the approval of the yearly major project/installation. You and your BODs
have countlessly reminded her to prepare the proposals. Nonetheless, your efforts are to no avail.
What actions would you take to overcome this problem?
• One of your board members, who is also one of your closest friends, has not been carrying out
her monthly projects for 2 months and has not been sending in her reports. How would you react to this?
• Unfortunately, the school administrators do not allow the intake of lower form students to join the Interact
Club. Meaning you are only left with form 4 and form 5 Interactors. What would you say to your school
administrators to convince them to allow lower form students to join the club?
• What would you do if a few Interactors have failed to show their commitment towards the club
and have not been participating in any projects?
• A few of your board members have not been sending in their reports to the Secretary even though she has
reminded them countless times about the due date. This might affect the overall QR. What actions would
you take towards your board members who have done so?
• Due to the latest covid-19 pandemic, your plans to carry out projects for the club has been ruined and it
has been difficult to come up with projects that will continue to benefit the members. How would
you overcome this situation? How would you ensure that the club does not start slacking?
• The COVID-19 pandemic has now become an endemic in Malaysia, which means certain activities are
still restricted to prevent infections. This has put a stop to many physical Interact Club projects around the
country, including yours. Not only that, but you are entering your Form 5 year with heavy pressure on
college entrance exams. How do you ensure your members aren't demotivated and bored with online
activities? What can you do to make the online projects unique and attractive?
• You find out that you and your Vice President do not get along with each other and this has affected the
flow of projects being carried out and is taking a toll on the other Board of Directors, what would you do
to solve this problem?
• An Interact club from another school decides to carry out a major community service project similar to
ours. They are attracting many participants, while our own major community service project is
not receiving a lot of support and response. What would you do to alter or improve the programme
while maintaining its main purpose of spreading awareness, to attract more participants? What is
an interesting element you think will save our club’s ticket sales?
