Effective Leaders Lecture Application

This week's lecture helped me learn new and remember old ways for leaders to be effective in their leadership efforts. It was a huge help to establish some traits and characteristics of an effective leader in class and then reflect on how I measure up to those characteristics and identify areas where I need improvement. I am still working on reorganizing my hall's Floor Council and selecting individuals to serve as members of the Council. However, as I work on this I have thought about how I need to present myself from the start in order to be an effective and respected leader by first showing respect and love for those on my floor that I serve and especially those that I ask to serve with me. I definitely have become more conscious of my image in the best ways possible and think about what it communicates to those around me.
