Running a meeting is important but working with them is a bigger part. Discussing these brought out repetition of a popular notion that you can't teach leadership and this group is not in agreement on that. Questioning the title of vision, a comment was how important it is to be a visionary. Then others will follow. There should be a personal vision and encouraging others to follow a vision, and a leader should spark it, convince them to follow a target that beckons.
Leaders are dream builders, change managers, and change makers.
With the snapshot seen as a star and with leadership in the center, the five points could be values, management, self-development, vision, and continuous learning. The group discussed more issues to be added and more revisions. Discussion covered sacrifice, intensity, a sense of accomplishment, frenzy being fun, time management, effectiveness, the importance of rest, the importance of self-development, planning our time, taking a break. Questions that came up for discussion included how to avoid over commitment, how to identify negative repercussions, what role does work experience play in leadership development, just how do leaders develop leadership traits, and the significance of leadership roles in all ways of life as in business, church, etc. Student advisors need to be skillful in making leadership fun.
