I decided to create this thread so people can share their leadership tips and advice. Please share!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mine is going to focus on emails/text communication
So I had recently attended a leadership conference and I attended a session where the speaker discussed emails, and other communication via text. I would like to share some things with you, since I find that it can be useful to everyone.
One thing she spoke of was a signature (mostly referring to emails but can be applied anywhere) So, I will use some of my old positions IRL as examples:
I was...
-Diversity Coordinator Of RSA
-Social Chair of SAE
-Hall Council President of Harshman
So, the only time to present yourself in a position of power is when you are speaking on behalf of that position. I would not use my social chair position in my signature if I was messaging on behalf of the RSA. The reason is because I am not representing my fraternity in that situation. Only use the position you are representing, or speaking as.
IE
I am sending an email to my Exec Board of Hall Council, so in my email I would not put this as my sig:
Michael K,
-Hall Council President
-Diversity Coordinator Of RSA
-Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Social Chair
-Owner Of The Seventh Regiment
-Level 99 noob
Its excessive
When speaking in a professional situation making something "pretty" or similar to a coloring book takes away from your point, and makes you seem not serious about what you are saying, not only that, it can be hard to read as well. People often have to strain their eyes to read the colored text. Always stick to plain colored, and normal type.
