When building a successful, collaborative organization, Isaac states that leaders must foster '''curious''', '''failure accepting ideologies'''. He continuously enforces the idea that students have a duty to teach themselves using what's available online. Successful students must also engage in projects outside the classroom as long gone are the days where extracurricular activities are ranked less than classroom work. Students must also be willing to fail gracefully. Our current educational infrastructure pigeon holes students into believing that there is nothing worse than failure when that could not be less true. Failure leads to learning and personal growth which are imperative at keeping an organization fresh and growing.
To ensure the SDC runs succesfully, Isaac jokingly admits that it avoids true democracy. Instead, the leaders of the organization make sure that those who deserve promotion recieve it. This prevents the election of leaders who, while passionate about the SDC, lack the qualities needed to advance it. This idea is, however, dependent on the group containing good leaders. This is currently an issue with the SDC, forcing it to merge with another on-campus group. To remedy this, Isaac suggests exposing members to leadership on small scales and observing which students naturally step up.
