  5. The Social Change Model (SCM) of Leadership Briana Chang Lin Lawson

  6. Defining the Social Change Model • “Leadership is ultimately about change, and effective leaders are those who are able to affect positive change on behalf of others and society.” (Higher Education Research Institute, 1996, p.10) • Change is the ultimate goal of the creative process of leadership- to make a better world and a better society for self and others.” (HERI,p.21) ”How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” -ANNE FRANK

  7. What is SCM of leadership? • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpjGCP5ee-k • Directions • While you watch, jot down what you think are key ideas in the SCM of leadership development

  8. The 7 C’s of Social Change • Citizenship • Collaboration • Common Purpose • Controversy with Civility • Consciousness of Self • Congruence • Commitment

  9. Social Change Model of Leadership- Basic Premise • Inclusive- of people in positional and non-positional roles • Leadership is a process (not a position) • Promotes values of: equity, social justice, self-knowledge, service, collaboration

  10. Overall Goal of the Model • Change: Believing in the importance of making a better world and a better society for oneself and others. Believing that individuals, groups, and communities have the ability to work together to make that change.

  11. Why get involved in social change? • Gain knowledge and opportunity • Have an impact • Form relationships

  12. Real Life examples • Uganda Project • Pink Gloves

  13. Future ideas for SCM…What are your thoughts? • What are the needs of Temple or Philadelphia that should be addressed? • What has been done to address these needs? • What resources do you need to make change happen?

  14. Servant Leadership Developing your model Correy Brown Jay Lou

  15. Definitions of Leader • A person or thing that leads. • A guiding or directing head, as of an army, movement, or political group. • One that leads or guides. • One who is in charge or in command of others. • One who heads a political party or organization. • One who has influence or power, especially of a political nature. • A person who rules or guides or inspires others • A person who is in front or goes first • A person who is the head of, organizes or is in charge (of something) • The head …of any body… as of a tribe, clan, or family; a person in authority who directs the work of others…

  16. “The Servant as Leader” • THE SERVANT-LEADER IS SERVANT FIRST • It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. • Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first…

  17. Servant Leadership Traits • Listening • Empathy • Healing • Awareness • Conceptualization • Foresight • Stewardship • Commitment to the Growth of People • Building Community • Persuasion

  18. Leader Characteristics Focusing on Leading others through these characteristics • Awareness • Self & Organization • “Sharply awake and reasonably disturbed” (Greenleaf) • Persuasion • Opposite of positional authority • Convince and build consensus – quickly • Conceptualization • B.H.A.G. but S.M.A.R.T. • Big Hairy Audacious Goal & Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time bound • Make time for strategy • Foresight • Consequences of present decisions on future outcomes

  19. Combined Characteristics Characteristics emerging from the combined Servant & Leader dimensions Stewardship • Entrusted with resources of others • Return on investments Commitment to the Growth of People • “Green and growing or ripe and dying” (Hunter) • Not just your favorites Building Community • Effectiveness • Camaraderie

  20. The best test, and difficult to administer, is: • Do those served grow as persons? • Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? • Will they benefit or at least not be further deprived?"

  21. Characteristic Breakout Breaking out Spears’ characteristics into 3 dimensions… SERVANT-LEADER Awareness Persuasion Conceptualization Foresight Stewardship Commitment to People Building Community Listening Empathy Healing †

  22. Servant Characteristics Focusing on serving others through these characteristics… • Listening • Active, not just passive • 360°, top to bottom • Listen completely before deciding • Empathy • Separate person from their work • Walk a mile in their shoes • Personable with appropriate individuals • Healing • Help your staff become whole • Consider their history • Build a future together

  23. Paradoxes Servant-Leadership, itself a paradox, requires a constant balance… Great Be Without Pride Planned Be Spontaneous Discipline Compassionate Enough To Right Say, “I’m Wrong” Serious Laugh Wise Admit You Don’t Know Busy Listen Strong Be Open To Change Leading Serve

  24. Examples of Balance Paradoxes are not easy to balance. Here are a few examples… • Great Enough to be Without Pride • Team gets the credit, you get the blame • Compassionate Enough to Discipline • Must not be soft – set high expectations and follow through • Right Enough to Say, “I’m Wrong” • Leaders make mistakes too, admit you are human • Wise Enough to Admit You Don’t Know • Find out quickly, but do not mislead • Busy Enough to Listen • Beware the busy manager – they do not lead

  25. Leading Enough to Serve Focus on the Organization Humble, no ego or pride Emphasize the role of others in success Accept responsibility in failures Constantly seek opportunities for improvement Roll up your sleeves Stress what is best for the organization, not the few 360° Support Listen to Stakeholders No job too big, no job too small Participate, listen and build consensus to lead, not manage Far more…

  26. Transformational Leadership "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life….” ~ Steve Jobs, Transformational Leader Prepared by: Quanda Garrison

  28. Transformational Leadership • Question: What is one thing you would change about the world if you could? • It doesn’t have to be big, but it should be something you care about.

  29. What is Transformational Leadership? “leaders inducing followers to act for certain goals that represent the values and the motivations – the wants and needs, the aspirations and expectations – of both leaders and followers” - James MacGregor Burns
