the Presidential Search Committee. How was that experience?

7E ALL KIND OF PLAYED THE SAME ROLE AND ) THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT WAS SO COOL %VEN THOUGH *USTIN ;2OBINSON= AND ) THE TWO STUDENTS THAT WERE ON THERE EVEN THOUGH WE WERE THERE AS STUDENTS OUR OPINION WAS VERY much still valued. We had the same access to all the candidate materials, with resumes and ALL OF THAT AND THAT WAS SUPER COOL TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY SEE ALL CANDIDATES ALL OF THEIR RESUMES ALL THEIR PAST EXPERIENCES AND ACTUALLY HAVING OUR OPINIONS VALUED THERE ON THE COMMITTEE ALONG WITH PROFESSORS AND REGENTS AND OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF 4HAT WAS REALLY cool.

How do all these positions call you to leadership?

4HE BIGGEST THING ABOUT LEADERSHIP ) THINK IS ACTIVELY ENGAGING THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LEAD )T S SO IMPORTANT AS LEADER TO BE ABLE TO EMPOWER AND ENGAGE THOSE INDIVIDUALLY THAT S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING "ECAUSE IF ) M A GOOD PRESIDENT IT DOESN T REALLY MATTER IF ) M NOT SETTING UP THE OTHER OFFICERS ON MY BOARD TO BE SUCCESSFUL

Does each role ask a different aspect of leadership? !BSOLUTELY ) THINK BEING )&# 0RESIDENT THERE ) M SEEN AS THE ULTIMATE LEADER ) M SUPPOSED TO BE THE PACE SETTER FOR MY OTHER OFFICERS

To you, what makes a quality leader? ! GOOD LEADER SHOULD BE DRIVEN 4HEY SHOULD BE GOAL ORIENTED AND THEY SHOULD LOOK TO ENGAGE THE PEOPLE THAT THEY LEAD AND ) VE ALREADY ELUDED TO THAT BUT ) THINK IT S REALLY

REALLY IMPORTANT TO BE CONSTANTLY MOTIVATING YOUR TEAM BE ENGAGING YOUR TEAM AND SETTING YOUR TEAM UP WITH EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED AND BEING A SOURCE OF HELP FOR THEM IN COMPLETING THEIR TASK ALONG THE WAY
