Leaders should aim to be transformational; they should empower their members in order to move the team forward.
Leaders should not be transactional - barking orders A, B, C, D,..etc.
It's hard describing leadership -- everyone leads differently.
I'm having a lot of 1 hour+ conversations about leadership with my sorors.
I'm trying to get us incorporated and get insurance in order to expand.
BUT, we can't expand unless we have a solid foundation for Alpha chapter...
Disaster
Rage
Anxiety
Madness
Anger
These are the emotions/things I am sensing right now.
Some of this stuff is necessary.
Think of a Phoenix.
Picturing it?
Good.
According to Wikipedia: " It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of myrrh twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (sun city in Greek). The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible — it is also said that it can heal a person with a tear from its eyes and make them temporarily immune to death."
I believe the sorority is like a Phoenix -- we are able to regenerate when we are hurt. Sometimes a fire is needed to bring out the best of us.
"Absence is to love what the wind is to fire. When it's a small fire? The wind kills it. But when it's a real fire? It intensifies it. So that absence should do that."- Diane Von Furstenberg
This really describes how I feel. My absence at TCU with the sorority is intensifying my love for it. I really want to see us grow and develop into a great organization in the next 10-20 years!
Lots of work to do....
Much Love,
