Leadership for a Better World
Autor Nclp (National Clearinghouse for Leadership Programs) Editat de Susan R Komives, Wendy Wagneren Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2016
Destinată studenților de la licență, cercetătorilor și practicienilor din mediul academic, Leadership for a Better World oferă un cadru metodologic riguros pentru înțelegerea leadershipului ca proces colectiv orientat spre binele comun. Găsim în această a doua ediție o rafinare a Modelului Schimbării Sociale (SCM), o paradigmă care a redefinit modul în care universitățile abordează dezvoltarea competențelor de conducere. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorii reușesc să transforme concepte abstracte în instrumente acționabile prin cele trei paliere de valori: individuale (conștiința de sine, congruența, angajamentul), de grup (colaborarea, scopul comun, controversa cu civilitate) și comunitare (cetățenia). Această ediție aduce noutăți semnificative, integrând cercetări recente despre auto-eficacitatea în leadership și perspectivele de justiție socială, elemente esențiale în contextul socio-politic actual. Putem afirma că volumul este o alternativă solidă la Exploring Leadership with Access Code pentru cursurile de dezvoltare a abilităților de conducere, cu avantajul că Leadership for a Better World se concentrează specific pe schimbarea socială și responsabilitatea civică, nu doar pe modelul relațional de leadership. Structura cărții urmărește o progresie logică: de la fundamentele teoretice ale SCM în prima parte, la explorarea detaliată a celor 7 C în părțile centrale, culminând cu secțiuni dedicate aplicării modelului și examinării mecanismelor schimbării sociale. Includerea rubricilor de autoevaluare și a întrebărilor de reflexie transformă textul dintr-o simplă monografie într-un instrument de lucru interactiv, adaptat nevoilor curiculei moderne.

Descriere
The essential guide to the theory and application of the Social Change Model Leadership for a Better World provides an approachable introduction to the Social Change Model of Leadership Development (SCM), giving students a real–world context through which to explore the seven C′s of leadership for social change as well as a approaches to socially responsible leadership. From individual, group, and community values through the mechanisms of societal change itself, this book provides fundamental coverage of this increasingly vital topic. Action items, reflection, and discussion questions throughout encourage students to think about how these concepts apply in their own lives. The Facilitator′s Guide includes a wealth of activities, assignments, discussions, and supplementary resources to enrich the learning experience whether in class or in the co–curriculum. This new second edition includes student self–assessment rubrics for each element of the model and new discussion on the critical roles of leadership self–efficacy, social perspective, and social justice perspectives. Content is enriched with research on how this approach to leadership is developed, and two new chapters situate the model in a broader understanding of leadership and in applications of the model.
The Social Change Model is the most widely–used leadership model for college students, and has shaped college leadership curricula at schools throughout the U.S. and other countries including a translation in Chinese. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the model, with a practical, relevant approach to real–world issues.
