Guiding Leadership Models and Concepts
Social Change Model
Established in 1994, the Social Change Model approaches leadership as a purposeful, collaborative, values-based process that results in positive social change. The Social Change Model espouses the understanding that anyone can lead, and that leadership can be developed in all who seek it, which is why it is the perfect model for college students seeking to develop as leaders or change their respective communities. The model was built upon the following assumptions:
Leadership is socially responsible, it impacts change on behalf of others.
Leadership is collaborative.
Leadership is a process, not a position.
Leadership is inclusive and accessible to all people.
Leadership is values-based.
Community involvement/service is a powerful vehicle for leadership.
