A sense of direction is achieved by conveying a strong vision of the future and building consensus in clear
plan to achieve it.
The Three Most Important Keys of Leadership:
Studies have shown that trust and confidence in positions of leadership are the most reliable predictors of
member satisfaction in an organization. Effective communication by leadership in three critical areas is
the key to winning organizational trust and confidence, and involves:
1. Helping brothers understand the leadership’s overall strategy, policies, as well as other ways for
involvement.
2. Helping brothers understand how they can contribute to Nu Alpha Kappa’s dedication to its Pillars.
3. Sharing information with brothers on both how NAK is doing and how a brother’s own chapter
(undergrad and/or alumni) is doing. Basically, you must be trustworthy and you have to be able to
communicate a vision of where you are going
The Process of Great Leadership:
1. Inspire a shared vision Next, communicate your vision in words that can be understood by the
brotherhood.
2. Challenge the process First, find a process you believe needs to be improved the most.
3. Enable others to act Give them the tools, authority and methods to solve problems themselves.
4. Model the way When the process gets tough, get your hands dirty. A boss tells others what to do; a
leader shows it can be done.
