Kepemimpinan merupakan suatu kebolehan seseorang dalam mengurus tugasan atau permasalahan. Kemahiran kepemimpinan boleh diperolehi melalui pembelajaran dalam kelas, namun kadang-kadang ia diperolehi melalui pengalaman kerja. Dalam suatu kursus kepimpinan penulis telah menyampaikan ilmu dan kemahiran kepemimpinan melalui perkongsian pengalaman sekumpulan pegawai Bomba dan Penyelamat. Setiap peserta diminta mencatatkan semula pengalaman semasa menjalankan tugas menyelamat yang tidak dapat dilupakan. Antara pengalaman yang dikongsikan dalam artikel ini ialah pengalaman menurunkan jenazah seorang penduduk kampung yang tersangkut di atas sepohon kelapa di waktu malam. Klien telah memanjat pokok kelapa tersebut dan mendapati jenazah tersebut tersangkut dicelah pelepah kelapa. Ketika cuba mengangkat jenazah tersebut barulah klien menyedari bahawa jenazah tersebut sangat berat. Klien memohon bantuan rakan-rakan agar sebuah kren disediakan untuk mengangkat jenazah tersebut. Malangnya ketinggian kren tersebut tidak mampu membantu kerana pucuk kelapa tersebut lebih tinggi. Akhirnya seorang rakan anggota bomba terpaksa memanjat pokok kelapa yang sama dengan membawa tali tambahan untuk mengikat jenazah berkenaan. Tanpa menghiraukan keselamatan diri, klien bersama rakan akhirnya berjaya membawa jenazah tersebut. Sebaik sahaja jenazah berjaya dibawa turun dari pokok kelapa, sekali lagi cabaran besar menanti. Tiada seorang penduduk kampung yang sanggup menguruskan jenazah. Mereka memberikan pelbagai alasan. Klien telah melalui proses penerokaan pengalaman dengan menggunakan pendekatan psikologi kaunseling. Respon dan maklumbalas dari rakan kelompok juga dianalisis untuk membantu klien mencari punca kejadian serta mengesan nilai dan etika dari pengalaman tersebut. Akhirnya klien dibantu mengesan pengalaman negatif dan positif dari perkongsian tersebut. Pengalaman negatif telah dipulihkan melalui rawatan yang sesuai. Banyak lagi pengalaman yang dikongsikan oleh rakan-rakan anggota Bomba dan Penyelamat yang lain dibentangkan dalam kajian kali ini. Kata kunci: Kepimpinan, Penrusuan Krisis, Pemgalaman,

Gelandangan adalah golongan manusia yang terbentuk tanpa dirancang. Mereka terdiri daripada pelbagai lapisan umur dan bangsa yang hidup tanpa rumah terutama di kawasan bandar dan Lembah Kelang. Kesempitan hidup menyebabkan mereka tidak mampu untuk makan dan minum seperti orang lain. Kemelaratan hidup menyebabkan mereka terpaksa tidur di kaki-kaki lima bangunan, bawah jejambat juga di kawasan masjid. Tekanan hidup menyebabkan ramai gelandangan yang terlibat dengan kes-kes jenayah termasuklah penyalahgunaan dadah. Usaha untuk membantu gelandangan telah mula dijalankan oleh agensi-agensi kerajaan seperti Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL), Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS). Tidak ketinggalan juga pihak NGO yang perihatin telah membantu gelandangan. Usaha untuk membantu gelandangan telah mula dijalankan demi untuk mengelakkan mereka dari terjebak dengan masalah gejala sosial, jenayah dan penyalahgunaan dadah.

This research was conducted to measure the effectiveness of Peer Counseling Training towards the subjects’ self-concept, counseling skill and study orientation. Ninety Form Four students from one of the boarding school was selected as the subject for this study. They have been divided randomly into three groups namely Group A, B and C. This experimental research commences with a pre-test given to the subjects using Tennessee Self-concept Scale:2, Counseling Skill Test and Study Orientation Scale. The Group A subject had the Type A treatment (Peer Counseling Training + Practical Session) whereas Group B subject only attended the Peer Counseling Training (Type B Treatment).

The MANOVA analysis conducted on the pre-test score shows that there’s no significant difference between Group A, B and C’s self-concept, counseling skill and study orientation. However, the MANCOVA analysis conducted upon the post-test shows that there’s significant difference (p=0.000; p<0.05) between Group A, B and C’s self-concept, counseling skill and study orientation. The findings from this research also shows that there’s significant difference for subjects’ self-concept, counseling skill and study orientation between Group A and B even though their training difference is only by a practical session. The researcher finds that the existence of peer counseling group in educational institution will be able to improvise the level of counseling management. At the same time, it enhances the students’ leadership as they change to be an effective role model to their peer and thus leads to successful Muslim generation.
