One of the most important things to learn as a student leader is how to have a positive attitude. No one ever wants to work for or with someone who is negative, condemning and bossy. Therefore, you must learn that being a good, strong leader requires a considerable amount of human relations and understanding in dealing with other people. However, the attitudes you express must not put you so close to people that you lose their respect, and yet not so aloof that your concern for others is not felt and might be challenged.
Things to remember:
 |
If you are a leader you are going to have to do things that you don't always want to, but you know they need to be done. Always make sure that you do not frown upon the task. If your followers see you frown upon the task at hand, it will only start a chain of events that will lead to lack of support from your team. |
|
Never say that "It can't be done". "Can't", is an evil word in the world of leadership. |
|
Smile when times are good and smile when times are bad. |
|
If your team sees you in a negative manner, it will lead them to the same manner. |
