Officials discuss developing
effective leadership skills
By Jim Garrett
At an Oct. 10 seminar, three guest lec
turers discussed the development of leader
ship skills for organizations and personal
growth.
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.
