This past weekend I attended a leadership conference titled Something of Value held by the dean of students and Panhellenic. Part of the conference included breaking everyone in into small discussion groups by position held within your sorority.
As President, I attended a conversation with the other fourteen presidents of large chapter sororities here on campus. What I experienced was motivating and eye opening. The level of conversation and opportunity was extremely high. I felt empowered by the group around me. We had tough discussions that were honest. During these discussions we made accomplishments and brainstormed new ideas otherwise ignored when brought up amongst other groups.
The lesson I learned this weekend is when the best and most motivated are together change can occur successfully. When Feinberg mentions leaders picked the wrong team I now understand what he means. If the best students had been selected to create one group they could blow away everyone else. Unfortunately each group is stuck with week links.
Is the saying true, 'you are only as strong as your weakest link'
