Leadership taking form

On Monday we took our exam in CSR 309. Challenging? Not really. However, how it will be graded is another story. In any other class as long as you put the material learned from the reading or had the gist of the idea, you would receive full credit. I honestly do not believe that is possible in this class. We did not even receive a study guide, which is the fault of the team leaders, not Dr. Feinberg's.
Our team leaders are starting out kind of like Dr. Feinberg, bad leaders. I believe this is happening because they do not really know what they are doing and Dr. Feinberg may not be giving them any kind of direction. However, how are you suppose to learn about leadership if you, yourself, do not form from a bad leader into a good leader? This is the whole purpose of the class. This method is much like on-the-job training that occurs in the workforce. People are just thrown into the position and are expected to learn on the fly. I believe this is the best way to learn, mainly because you make mistakes and learn from them.
I have also started to see leadership outside of the classroom and have begun critiquing it. My main example comes from my sorority. At the end of the fall semester we elected new officers. All of our executive officers are in the sophomore pledge class or have never held an executive office before. I have now realized where my chapter made a huge mistake. The power trip has begun. I have people you are younger than me and less experienced in the house talking down to me like I do not know what is going on. It is ridiculous. Now, I don't want you to think, "Well, you should have ran for a position," because I did. Unfortunately, I was not elected. I believe this is part of the younger pledge class's plan to rid of the older pledge classes from power. Whether that be the case or not, they are all on a power trip.
What exactly do I mean by a power trip? Well, let's just say they believe everything they do is right, they are never wrong and they are refusing to listen to girls in the house. When people will approach them, they become extremely defensive and later will hold a grudges against the people who question what they are doing. This is right out of the readings from It's Your Ship and The Leadership Challenge. You have to be able to listen to your followers and put them first. You must adapt to the needs of your followers.
It is very frustrating being a "follower" and experiencing this. You feel like you are worthless and not important. This is the type of feeling that will make people quit the sorority. I have tried to discuss this with a few of the executive officers however, they look at me like I do not know what I am talking about. Hello! I am only taking a class and reading 2oo-almost 400 page books on this stuff.
I am taking this leadership style that has been put in place by both Dr. Feinberg and the executive council of my sorority and using it as a major learning experience in leadership. I know exactly how I will not treat any of my followers and what to do when these situations arise. I have learned a lot from the sorority especially in dealing with difficult situations. I will just add this one to the sheet.
I really believe this class needs to be a required course for all majors. It would do a lot of good.
