I think that when reflecting on this session, I really
learned ways in which I can continue to utilize this experience to benefit my
chapter in the upcoming semesters. As we mentioned in discussion, I feel it is
instrumental to empower my members. They need to feel like they are making a
change just as much, if not more, than they feel like I am dictating to them
the change that needs to be made. By empowering the women of my chapter, I
think they will benefit from becoming a change agent and want to continue to improve
our chapter in various ways. Also, I plan to continue to utilize this
experience by holding my members accountable. We have each committed to this
organization and vowed to make it better for the future, so I want my women to
hold themselves to those standards.
Another
important factor in utilizing this experience is setting a good example. How
can my members become change agents when they don’t feel like the leadership of
the chapter is putting all efforts forth to become change agents? I think that
as an officer and especially as the present, members look up to you whether you
believe it or not, and oftentimes mirror your actions to a tee. Becoming a
change agent is really advantageous to growing as a person and allowing others to
grow too. I think through the seven C’s I have learned the dos, don’ts and
everything in between when it comes to leading my chapter.
I
am incredibly proud of the women of my chapter and the things they accomplish
on a daily basis, and by continuing to utilize this experience, my chapter can
continue to foster better relationships and improve on all grounds. Lastly, it
is vital to be a good follower as a part of being a leader. Allowing your
members to make decisions and know when the decisions you made may have failed,
but leading them to find a way to become successful, is really what becoming a
change agent is to me.
