A New Model of Leadership for Today

Would you like to become involved in social action?  Or are you already participating in some area of social action and would like to further develop your capabilities?

​

Or do you want to improve your discourse with community organizations and contribute to bettering their function?

​

Are you aware of the relationship between personal transformation and social action? 

Transformative Leadership is a program of learning focused on personal and social transformation that contributes to better practices of leadership, administration, and interpersonal relationships, and to the development of the human and institutional capabilities required by individuals, organizations, and societies in continual progress.

​

This approach to leadership distinguishes between being a leader, usually associated with a position of authority, and leadership, which can be exercised by any member of a group who is contributing towards one or more of the three core functions of a team or organization:

​

1. Achieving its goals and objectives.

2. Strengthening unity among the members is a prerequisite for effective functioning.

3. Helping other members to develop and strengthen their own capabilities, thus empowering the team, or organization, as a whole.​

 

Personal transformation and social transformation–the purpose of leadership–have a synergic relationship.  As we develop our own capabilities and moral qualities, we are empowered to contribute more effectively to social transformation.  And to the degree that we are committed to some aspect of social transformation, we are motivated to develop new capabilities and qualities.
