Leader Lessons

Leader Lessons is a year-long series of leadership emails, discussions and
sessions that will allow MTSU students to enhance their leadership
knowledge and skills. A new topic is published twice a month through email and the website.

Developing Fresh Ideas

"Been there, done that!" That is the last thing you want to hear. You may be seeing your group's creative juices dwindle, yet it is not too late to pump up your cre­ativity and bring new ideas and strategies to the table.

The Fall Starting Line

The fall term is underway and it may feel like you and your group members are still waiting to start the race. The first few weeks of a semester are typically dedicated to "getting to know you" experiences, goal-setting opportunities and preparing for the road ahead.

Make a Difference Day

The fourth Saturday of every October is Make a Difference Day – the national day to help others. As a student leader you have the potential to make a difference every day simply through your words and actions.

Leaders often find themselves in positions of disagreement. We are all entitled to our opinions; however that often means that we are going to face times when our ideas don't quite match those of others. This can lead to conflict, which can be a positive part of the leadership process – when managed well.
