While I have always striven to be clear and forthright, my three sisters say that I am just blunt. The force that resonates from focus is awesome. The best student leaders I have known first define for themselves what they stand for so they can articulate that vision concisely to others. Leaders who constantly waver from their principles only confuse their followers. Whether it's in the storm of controversy or in calm seas, a leader who stays focused on his or her vision is effective.
Information is power.
Like everyone else, I assume that if I hear nothing, nothing must be happening. It is difficult to keep everyone up to date on current events, especially because the Law Student Division's scope reaches far and wide. The listervs are the best place to keep a finger on the division's pulse and to ask students at other law schools how they address issues similar to your own. Most Law Student Division members are Type A personalities. We are so used to doing it all ourselves that we forget there are other students who are looking for a role to fill.
