So You Wanna Get Elected? 


Do you think you have what it takes to lead an organization on campus? Are you sick getting all talk and no action during post election season? Then maybe it is time you stepped into the hot seat and lead the organization down the path it needs to go. Not sure about how to rally troops behind you? Read from the blogs below to show you the way. 


"[In an election] everything depends on how your organization is doing, and what your members feel your organization needs.  Before you start dreaming of what a presidency would be like, analyze the current environment of your organization.  What do your members feel they need? Then, position yourself as the best one to deliver it." -TJ Sullivan from his blog The Hungry Student Leader. 


Interested in a being the boss in your organization this year? Read TJ's post How to get elected president (next) to learn about the different types of leaders out there. 


Not sure if you have the qualities required. Check out The Top 10 Leadership Qualities to see if you fit the bill. UELA definitely agrees with their last trait, when all else fails laugh!!
