▪ Tamara Popovich has been elected president of the
student council at the local college she attends.
▪ She likes the other council members, and they seem to
like her.
▪ Her first job as president of the council is to develop a
new policy for student computer fees.
▪ This is the first year that computer fees are being
assessed, so there are no specific guidelines for what
should be included in this policy.
▪ Because the council members are elected by the student
body, Tamara has no control over how they work, and
has no way of rewarding or punishing them.
▪ In a leadership course Tamara took, she filled out the
LPC questionnaire, and her score was 98.
