Leadership
Briana Chang
Lin Lawson
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

Servant Leadership
Developing your model
Correy Brown
Jay Lou
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…
“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…

 Not just your favorites
Building Community

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?"
