One of the purposes of the Brigham Young University Former Student Officers Society is to open up a dialog on important leadership issues that are of interest to our members and friends. Let's face it, how do we accomplish that when we have members all over the world and we only meet with a small fraction of you each year during our Homecoming events? This blog will be our humble attempt to get a meaningful dialog going. Feel free to join in, maybe make a few waves, but always keep in mind that the purpose of this site is to develop a thoughtful, challenging and uplifting discussion on what it means to be a leader. We are alumni of Brigham Young University and in no way do we speak for or in behalf of the University or its sponsor, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
So, lets get going! The first question you might ask is, "What's with the name--Officers Bee?"
Answer: The Bee represents industry. A hive functions as a single unite, despite the amazing diversity in work assignment. There is a strong, predictable structure in the function of the hive and every member depends on another to fulfill its shared goal of providing food, shelter and safety for the rising generation. The way Bees communicate is amazing. They don't waste time with endless memos, or unnecessary board meetings, they communicate by being of one mind. They share a vision and that vision creates a link between the members of the hive. I think that when we are doing a good job of leading, those around us often seem to "know" what is the right thing to do, because it "feels" right; it is something that is in harmony with the vision of our organizations.
