Active learning & group exploration |
The Institute offers a range of tracks designed for students to develop their five dimensions of leadership competency. This means that once you participate in one Institute, you should return! Each of the five dimensions will offer different competency sessions each year, so once you participate, you can continue your personal journey to develop your leadership competencies. Although people tend to recognize leadership when they see it, defining leadership is more difficult. Leadership is a process regardless of what lense and perspective. Leadership competencies consist of valuable skills, abilities, behaviors, attitudes, and knowledge areas (Wagner, 2006). Mastery of these competencies is an ongoing process that are organized into five dimensional categories: |

The Registered Student Organizations Leadership Development Institute is designed to help student organizations officers and members to develop skills and strategies. The institute is open to all students!
Each year SCSU Registered Student Organizations engage new members, transition new leaders, and improve their operations. This is a natural cycle that can slow progress and challenge a group as they move forward. It is important to establish an ongoing "LEADERSHIP CYCLE"! |
Engaging sessions to explore and build on competencies

Self-ManagementWager (2006) states that, good leaders know their own values, strengths, and limitations and are able to control their emotions and behaviors. They must strive for personal development by engaging in continuous learning and being willing to seek help when needed or admit when they have made a mistake. They should be able to adapt to stressful or dynamic situations and be able to maintain a balance between their work and non-work lives
|
Leading OthersLeaders must maximize the potential of others and motivate them to attain shared goals. They must be able to manage individual and group performance with an understanding of group dynamics and team building. Leaders must actively listen and communicate effectively to persuade others and build consensus and trust. They should understand and be empathic toward individual’s emotions and needs and be able to resolve conflicts in a respectful manner. (Wagner, 2006) |
Task ManagementLeaders use task-specific knowledge and experience to guide the group to attaining its goals. Leaders must engage in problem solving, delegation, time and resource management, and eliminating barriers to performance. Leaders also must strive for results and provide feedback to ensure effective contributions from all constituents. (Wager, 2006) |
InnovationLeaders must be able to think creatively while taking initiative and calculated risks. Effective leaders have a vision beyond the immediate work of the group. This involves exploring and integrating diverse perspectives and recognizing unexpected opportunities. (Wagner, 2006) |
Social ResponsibilityLeaders must act with integrity, honesty, and justice. They must work in the best interest of others, showing respect and empathy for unique individual and cultural differences. Good leaders create a culture that promotes high ethical standards along with personal, organizational, and civic responsibility. Ethical leaders recognize and conduct themselves in concert with universal moral principles as well as specific values, laws, and ethics relevant to their group or organization. (Wagner, 2006) |

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT LET'S CUT THE CRAP... The best session I have ever attended. I learned more in an hour and a half than I have in two years at my school from my own administrators and advisors! I can't wait to get back and try out these new strategies. Thank you for being honest with us. It was very refreshing.
