It is my senior year of high school and I am currently in charge of two organizations, our community service club as president and our school newspaper as editor-in-chief. Currently I realize that I am not as assertive as I should be and certain plans are not followed through because of this. I guess its because I have a lack of confidence in myself from past failings as a leader in these activities that I figure that whatever I try to change about myself or about the organizatons will eventually not work out. I really really hate this. Also, I think my club may be suffering a little because of the lack of connection I have with my fellow officers. Although we are able to associate with each other on a I guess, professional basis, there still is that absence of I guess--understanding that would truly help us accomplish bigger and better things... What can I do to become more assertive and a better leader as well as have a better relationship with my fellow staffmembers and editors? Any form of helpful input would be truly appreciated! Thanks in advance =D

That problem can be caused by many things spanning from problems outside school to problems in school. I dont mean to put you down but maybe there is something BIGGER going on in your life that you cant focus on these tasks. another problem might be that you are a high based status person in BOTH of these organizations and cant take the pressure. Dont worry about that. it happens to everybody but you realize that as you grow up, you CAN handle more than you actually think you can. Once again, if you are offended, i apologize,but just think about it for a bit. [ destinys_bro's advice column | Ask destinys_bro A Question ]
