The most important consideration of being a competent and successful student leader is to accept responsibility for getting things done. Everyone can and should excel in this aspect of leadership. If advice is needed, seek it. This will encourage group involvement and help accomplish group goals. Make things happen by being decisive, energetic and enthusiastic.
Enthusiasm is contagious.
If time and resources are already committed, turn down extra tasks. The Student Council doesn't require endless hours of commitment, just student interest in the Council's plans and mission. As International College students, you should pay attention to your student leaders. Support and encourage them, and they will succeed by providing higher levels of communication and student resource for everyone. Your college days are a great time to work on those leadership skills so demanded by the job market.
