As a student leader (or any type of leader), your character is the foundation of your leadership.
#4 - DON'T SHY AWAY FROM HARD WORK.
Leaders must be willing to get their hands dirty. Hard work, especially the sweat-blisters-manual-labor kind, shows that a student leader is not "above" the most menial tasks. Hard work is an opportunity to get in and get it done with those whom a leader works with. It will inspire others to work hard. It lets people know that he will do what everyone else needs to do to accomplish the group's goals.
