As a student leader (or any type of leader), your character is the foundation of your leadership.
#3 - YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS NEED TO AGREE.
People in leadership will often joke, "Do as I say, not as I do." This one relates to #1 but comes at it from a different angle. If a student leader instructs her followers to do their work with excellence, to be honest, to live in loyalty to the vision and cause of the organization, she must be willing to model that for them in her own life. A sermon is most effective when it's displayed in the life of the one giving it.
