Leadership Track Two
Leadership in a Shared-Power World
The goal of these sessions is to give students who’ve completed the Track #1 Program the opportunity to build upon the theories and concepts learned during the previous series of workshops. Over the course of this semester, students will move to a greater understanding of the role that leadership plays in society as we move the discussion onto a much broader topic that begs the question, “How do we ‘lead’ in a constantly evolving ‘shared-power’ world?”
This track allows for a high level of group discussion and active debate. Through group discussions, readings, written assignments, and direct interaction with experienced Lehman College/CUNY faculty, staff and student leaders, students will begin to examine all of the aspects of “shared leadership” as well as the complex issues facing today’s organizations and communities. Community service will continue to be an essential part of this program, and students will be able to work with others in the group to create community service opportunities that best interest them.
Sessions topics include:
- What is Social Change
- Overview and Application of Social Change Model
- Citizenship and Change
- Principles of Professional Writting
- Consciousness of Self
- Congruence and Commitment
- Presentation of Social Action Proposals
