Leadership
Student Activities and Leadership Development programs provide opportunities for University of Texas students interested in participating in a culturally diverse environment.
SALD Leadership programs provide UT students with opportunities for both academic and hands-on learning experiences that develop their leadership skills.
There are many ways to think about and define leadership. One model that we in SALD find helpful proposes that 'leadership is a process, not a position'. In this model, leadership can be viewed as the interaction between leaders, followers, and the situation. This is represented in the diagram below:
(Leadership: Enhancing the Lessons of Experience. Hughes, Ginnett, and Curphy, 1999)
We encourage you to use your involvement in student organizations as a way to develop your leadership skills. You have the opportunity to gain valuable real-life experience in the process of becoming involved with student organizations at UT Austin. Leadership skills that can be developed in this process include:
- Communication
- Time Management
- Public Speaking
- Conflict Management
- Financial Management
- Values Clarification
