Important Question - Leadership

[d.schneid@1719]

Your situation sounds like one similar to mine. I am team captain myself and I can say that a leader should not neccesarily be someone who is technically savy. A leader is someone who is hardworking, dedicated, and who is a team player. Being a team leader is the most important quality of a leader. The leader should be chosen by the students and the mentors. You want the students to have the leader they want, on the other hand, students could vote just based on who is their friends. Having your mentors included in the ballet should solve that problem. Do not elect whoever is the most technically savy, that quality does not help in being a good leader. A leader does not to enact what he or she wants. A leader wants to do whatever the team wants. The student leader should work with the mentors to handle organizational things. The student leader should help keep other students in line, but the mentors should handle the major disciplinary issues. And do not elect someone just on the basis of their seniority. I hope my advice was helpful.
