The 20 Laws of College Student Leadership

Best Practices of Today’s College Leaders
Event: Workshop
Duration: 2 Day Program

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Tap into an “inner power” to gain self-confidence and strength. What do we mean by leadership? Where does influence fit in? What are some of the “best practices” in leadership over time and how do they apply to college life today?

“Best Practices are the practices chosen of world class leaders who have used their influence to change their environment – government, education or business - for the good, or to improve their organizations success ratio”.

Organizational development literature contains a wide variety of definitions and descriptions of leadership. Some people argue that leadership and management are quite different and that they require a different perspective and skills. Others hold that leadership is a facet of management and that influencing is a facet of leadership. In the context of this program, we will take a broad view: “A leader is someone who sets the direction and influences people to follow in that direction.”
