Have you always wanted to try a different type of leadership style? Sometimes as student leaders we grow to be accustomed to our certain leadership style. Sometimes when we become so comfortable and familiar with a certain leadership style that we are actually limiting ourselves.
One of the things that usually keeps us locked within a certain leadership style is the environment that we develop our leadership in. If you've always been the kind of leader where people look to you consider putting yourself in an environment where you do not have as much knowledge to allow others to take the steering wheel and thus giving you the opportunity to not only take a more service oriented role but also have the opportunity to learn something new. If you've always been the leader who has always taken a service behind the scenes style then consider putting yourself in an environment where you must face with talking to the crowd.
By giving yourself an opportunity to explore a different style of leadership, you give yourself a chance to learn more about yourself. Most importantly, you are learning to adapt and change your leadership style in accordance with the situation which in the long run will make you a more effective leader.
