Tim Milburn, Director of Campus Life at Northwest Nazarene University (located just outside Boise, ID), has 7 Habits of Highly Influential Students on Your Campus.

1. People gravitate toward them.
2. People listen to and follow their opinions or advice.
3. They have a track record for getting things done.
4. They have a rapport with different student groups.
5. They tend to have a clear idea of where they’re headed (know what they want to accomplish).
6. They are typically ordinary people who find a way to produce extraordinary results.
7. They always lift up others more than themselves (sense of humility).

I feel like these qualities aren't necessarily innate within the student. The best part about facilitating a group at Aggie BLUE, USU's leadership conference, is seeing students start to see themselves in a different light. They begin to realize they can lift up others, build rapport with others, and develop an idea of where they want to go.

To be a better leader on campus, I would like to work on (all of them, but especially) number 5. I am working on establishing a clear plan of action. I have clear plans of action (for things I want to do on campus), but what about after college? I don't have a post-college plan.

I would like to thank Dannon Loveland who posted this article on G+ and brought it to my attention.
