Leadership Theory and Literature • Leadership involves a team, group or community rather than an individual • Interdependence and connectedness with the organization/people as part of a larger system • Empowerment rather than power and control • Non-positional leadership • Learning is centermost within these more collaborative, team-oriented approaches (Kezar, 2001, p. 88)

  8. Leadership Theory and Literature Kouzes & Posner (2003) said, “Leadership is a reciprocal process between those who aspire to lead and those who choose to follow” (p. 10).

  9. Leadership Theory and Literature • Model the way • Enable others to act • Challenge the process • Inspire a shared vision • Encourage the heart

  10. Leadership Theory and Literature Komives, Lucas, and McMahon (1998) called for a new leadership paradigm in which followers are viewed as participants, thereby being made more active in the process of leading and decision-making. “Leadership as a relational process of people together attempting to accomplish change or make a difference to benefit the common good”(Komives et al., 1998, p. 68).

  11. Leadership Theory and Literature • Astin and Astin (1996) A Social Change Model of Leadership Development: Guidebook Version III • Komives and Wagner (2009) Leadership for a Better World: Understanding the Social Change Model of Leadership Development • Individual • Group • Community

  13. Leadership Theory and Literature • Respect and trust are key for the open exchange of ideas and effective leadership. • Trust is based on the following • Relationships • Mutual respect • Open honest communication • Transparency • Feeling valued • FEAR is not a factor (Kezar, 2004)
