How can I be a servant leader?
I believe that this is my greatest leadership strength: being able to attend to others, help others grow, and keeping an open mind to other people's ideas. Currently, I take the approach of scaffolding newer members of campus video. I motivate them to start working on a project, help them through the beginning stages, and slowly start backing off so they learn how to create videos independently. I know that in order for my student org to grow and prosper, I need to focus my attention on the new members to become more experienced and more reliable. Once me and the executive producer talked about how to get our newer members into the meetings and the "culture" of our student org, we were much more successful in growing their knowledge of the film field. I believe that a servant leader pays more attention to the people around him, then himself and attends to the development of others. I can continue to be a servant leader by making sure all of our members are happy with the way things are going and are enjoying their experience. Also, I have to keep an open mind to their ideas while also guiding them by teaching them the ropes and possible problems that go along with their project idea. Finally, I must maintain a good relationship with all members so they can feel comfortable in coming up to me to ask questions and/or voice their concerns.
