Effective leadership is learned. Leadership is not always positional. A person does not need to be elected, appointed or hired to be a leader. Leadership is different than management. In general, leadership emphasizes people and has more to do with creating a vision while management emphasizes task and has more to do with getting work accomplished in an efficient manner.
Leaders are servants first.
Leadership is not power-oriented but instead as the mission of the college suggests, leaders influence the affairs of the world through a dedication to a Christian life. There are many opportunities for students to act as leaders while attending Concordia. Links to some of those opportunities are provided below but of course, the opportunities are infinite. Contact the Office of Student Leadership and Service for more information. Student Association provides opportunities for elected and appointed leaders.
