Last year I took over one of the three service leader spots for OSC’s Housing and Habitat Service Group. We had our first orientation session last Thursday, and have been preparing consistently to organize all of the plans we have for this year. We have created a calendar which incorporates all our SMART goals for this semester and will be sharing it with a group soon.
We have also counted all of our earnings from last year’s home run and bake sales, and have somewhat decided what materials we are buying with those finances.
But more than the thankless tasks that are involved in being a service leader, I’ve realized there are so many other personal things I need to address to become the best leader I can. Being a leader means many things. It means having good communication and collaboration skills, and being able to problem solve.
Additionally, interacting with people and trying fit the needs of all of our members, is really important to me. I want people to feel comfortable and create an environment where we can share our ideas. That is going to be my number one goal as service leader this year.
