Leadership vs. Being a Leader
Often leadership is considered to be the exclusive calling of a few. Transformative Leadership for Youth examines how to exercise leadership without being in a position of authority or having a formal position as the head of a group. It shows youth how they can exercise leadership
- at home,
- at school
- in teams, clubs and the organizations to which they belong.
What You Will Learn
Through participating in the readings and activities in Transformative Leadership, both you and the youth will internalize a conceptual framework consisting of six elements:
1. A spirit of service
;2. The purpose of leadership: personal and social transformation
3. The fundamental moral responsibility: the investigation and application of truth
4. A conviction of the essential nobility of human beings
5. Transcendence
;6. The development of capabilities
Together, you will also explore three types of categories:
1. Capabilities that contribute to personal transformation
;2. Capabilities that enhance interpersonal relations
3. Capabilities that contribute to social transformation (bettering society, beginning with the groups and organizations in which you participate).
By consulting on the elements and 18 capabilities of Transformative Leadership and carrying out exercises to apply them, youth discover solutions to common problems they face in their lives, such as bullying behaviors.
In the process they acquire the concepts and capabilities they need to better direct their own lives and to contribute to an ever-progressing civilization, empowering them to exercise leadership wherever they find themselves.
Faced with the tremendous challenges that characterize this stage of human history, Transformative Leadership gives youth an idea of what they can do to build a better world -- starting wherever they are.
