Goal Setting

Questions

The ActivityThere are four leadership styles categorized into four compass

points: North, South, East, and West. If you are a North, go to

North Point, if you're a South, go to South Point, etc.

PURPOSETo carry out the mission and vision of the chapter, it takes a

team. No one leader can do their work alone.

The more effective the team, the more effective you are in

carrying out the goals of the chapter.

Building effective teams mean that you can build effective

leaders.

First, a few notes:

NO STEREOTYPINGThis is not about stereotyping. No

style is better than the other and all

styles are effective.

PREDOMINANT STYLEEveryone has one predominant style.

Select the style that describes your

leadership the majority of the time

or the one you feel most

comfortable with.

FINAL THOUGHTSIf you cannot determine which

direction best describes you, think

about when you approach your work

or a project. What's your first

inclination or tendency?

Benefits of the Directions

SOUTH EASTNORTH WEST

If you have a project that

needs to get done, turn to

your North. They will

accomplish each task on

time and efficiently. They

are the ones who keep the

momentum going in the

chapter.

They will keep other team

members sane in chaos or

difficult times. If you are

experiencing high turnover

in your executive board,

find a South to make

everyone feel valuable on

the team.

They figure out how to do

a lot with little resources,

and they are skilled at

identifying certain flaws in

plans that others overlook.

 If you have limited

resources, your "Westies"

can figure out how to work

with little to get a lot done.

If your chapter/exec board

needs to grow or reach

new heights, you need an

East on your team. You will

keep doing the same thing

as usual until you bring on

an East who has the vision

to see beyond tomorrow.

HOW TO MOTIVATE THE NORTH'S:You need to be quick, clear, and talk with confidence.
