The Agricultural Advisory Board and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources co-sponsored the seminar at the East Campus Union. Lois Olive, a visiting UNL professor, said people can succeed when they realize "life is reasonable and an adventure." Olive said attaining the qualities of a well integrated leader is similar to climbing a ladder that is leaning on a spherical cone. As the person gets higher on the ladder of development and integration, he is that much closer to the goal of a well-integrated leader, she said. All candidates for successful leadership are one of three types, Olive said. Leader has commitment For example, she said, one type of lead er climbs through self -direction and com mitment. He's willing to take risks and make decisions, she said . Olive said one type will lose his intellec tual rigidity and social insensitivity, yet re tain his capacity for work , values and chal lenges. Another climbing type will become more comprehensible to others, lessen his mood swings and become more realistic, while retaining his creativity and willing ness to conform, she said. Olive said the evaluations also show es negative characteristics of each type. For example, she said, one type is afraid to study because if he does and fails an exam, then he proves to himself he wasn't any good to begin with. Another type may come out of his exam feeling like he knew all the answers, she said. Roger Sandman of the U.S. Department of Agriculture said that the young people who are coming into leadership positions will decide the future. But he said the young people have had little opportunity to say anything about the policy that affects the future. Community leadership The director of Intergovernmental Affairs said that leadership has to start at the community level, and then work its way up from there. He said the reason ideas flounder so often is that they origin ate in places like Washington, but are im plemented by people at the local level. "It should be a mandatory requirement for all governmental officials to take a two week stretch each year, and go home and spend every morning in the local coffee shop and hear what is really going on," Sandman said. Burl Winchester, ot Montana State Uni versity, said that future leaders will en counter some criticism and it will make them feel uncomfortable. But the sooner they learn how to handle these situations, the better leaders they will be, he said. Winchester said some attitudes to avoid in developing good leadership qualities are blaming others for things that are really your fault, saying you're sorry without showing you understood the criticism, and shifting the conversation to the reasons of why you acted as you did. Other attitudes to avoid are acting catastrophic and implying that your critic has some ulterior, hostile motive for mak ing his objection. Winchester said to succeed, a person must think positively.
