Blog Assignment #3

In class we discussed the important traits that a leader should possess. The traits I posses is the ability to lead by example, the ability to delegate things to other brothers, ethical decision making, and creating a plan and implementing it. Three areas I would like to improve about the skills I possess is to improve my communication, time management, and being an overall better leader. When it comes to communication I can sometimes be a shy and timid person and this can be a problem when opinions need to be voiced or problems are seen and need to be address. As a leader in my chapter I need to break out of my shell and develop effective speaking skills to use them to inspire my brothers to excel in all areas. I also need to improve my time management skills to balance school, fraternity, and my social life. If I do not do this then I will be swamp in work that could have been done earlier if I had better manage my time and this leads to bad grades, and poor work for the chapter. Lastly I need to step up to being a leader in the chapter and help the younger brothers find their place in the fraternity with the things they want to do and to also help with their personal lives. Being a good brother is the first step to being a great leader in a fraternity and is something that I want to strive for.
