The Mantra
Serve
Programs of the Student Activities and Development is gearing toward creating a community of leaders who are passionate, proactive, innovative and ever ready to be of service to others. It is the foundation of the training that the unit provides to all who want to be leaders for service.
According to a famous author, he said that “Service to others is the essence of success. If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve. No one achieves success without being of service. All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others. Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody”.
And so every student leader needs to learn that it is better to give than to receive. The venerable saying is drummed into our heads from our first time we heard about leadership.
Lead
Leaders are hard to find. They exhibit a unique blend of charisma, vision and character traits that attract people to follow them. They exhibit characteristics that best personify the ideal leaders. But, mostly, as they exhibit these traits and characteristics, people will want to follow them. Follow me." If you're the boss, you can get away with this attitude
