| Leadership |
Many senior instructors make decisions based on hidden agendas. They seldom, if ever, request the expertise, experience and knowledge of their senior students for fear it will constitutes a weakness. If this type of instructor does request advice, it is often for some alternative reason, such as:
-
To allow instructor to proclaim that he or she asked for the advice, even though he or she never intended to heed or to make use of the advice.
-
To establishes the false assumption that the instructor did not make the decision alone.
-
To establish a scapegoat, someone else to blame when idea fails. Sometimes, this type of instructor will state that he or her was given bad advice by someone, but being a moral person, he or she will not name this person, even when no such person ever existed.
A person's actions are a true indicator of his or her character. Your character determines who you are and thus what you do. If an instructor's actions seem out of place, then look to his or her character to find out why.
Your actions speak so loud, that I can't hear
a word you are saying!

Problem: Identify the problem

Over Leadership
Do not over lead. When you over lead, you develop a herd of students that just hang around waiting to be led. They are so used to be told what to do, that they do not know when or if they are allowed to do anything without being told. If students are not allowed to act on their own sometimes, they will never become leaders themselves.
