Introduction
I want to thank you for letting me share some of my experiences with you through this booklet. The information is based on several leadership training workshops that I’ve facilitated for ALANA student organizations around the country. Leadership training is critical if we are serious about preparing students to assume leadership roles. Too often we assume that new leadership will automatically spring up on its own.
Those of you reading this Training Guide understand the importance of diverse leadership, and the tremendous responsibility associated with being a leader. You also understand that your university can benefit tremendously from ALANA student involvement.
This guide is intended to offer practical information that student leaders can immediately use to increase participation on campus. It includes the major topics the research says student leaders should be knowledgeable about. You’ll find information that will help your student leaders run their organizations more effectively as well as information that will help them establish the kinds of goals that lead to success.
You’ll also find developmental skills and self-improvement techniques that will be useful throughout students’ academic and work careers. There are plenty of great activities and examples that reinforce learning so that students actually acquire new skills while becoming more confident in their leadership potential.
Look over the agenda and you’ll see that student leaders will learn everything from new ways to recruit new members to their organizations, to learning how to conduct productive meetings.
I’m confident that the information in this booklet will enable your students to make even greater contributions on your campus. Best regards as you educate our future leaders.
Sincerely,
Dr. Charles Taylor, President ROAR Enterprises, Inc.

VI. Evaluating Your Organization
I. Getting and Maintaining Feedback
The first item on the agenda is Getting Feedback. The most common technique that is used by most leaders of organizations places the president or the leader of the group up front, asking people what they think. Although it’s a good way to get started, this technique may not always be the most appropriate. This approach may lead to a few people dominating the conversation providing you a few opinions while leaving out how others in the group feel. Just because someone is silent doesn’t
