Notas del editor
- “Academics are not the only thing universities look at when considering applications. If you have leadership experience and have volunteered or created change in your community, this shows the university that you take initiative, get involved, are hard-working, passionate, and will be a positive addition to their university community! Not only that, but having leadership experience and qualities will help you succeed after graduation, making you a potentially successful alumnus.”
- “Leadership skills are one of the determining factors of success in roles in all industries and of all levels, and so it makes sense that people want to learn more about how to develop them!”
- “Just like universities, employers highly value soft skills, your values, and your fit at the company… not just your hard skills and applicable work experience. Gaining leadership skills through learning and hands-on experience early in life will help you have more time to develop your skills, and show employers that not only do you have the skills, but the motivation to grow and learn.”
