Community Leadership Development and Organizational Leadership Discussion

 

Please read the attached two articles, then answer three questions below:

  • Avolio, B. J., Walumbwa, F. O., & Weber, T. J. (2009). Leadership: Current Theories, Research, and Future Directions. Annual Review of Psychology, (Vol. 60, pp. 421–449).
  • Pigg, K. E. (1999). Community Leadership and Community Theory: A Practical Synthesis. Journal of the Community Development Society, (Vol. 30, Iss. 2, pp. 196–212)

Please think about the questions listed below:

  • Have these readings changed your conceptualization of community? Of leadership? If so, how?
  • The notion of leadership in the community literature tends to differ from more “traditional” perspectives of leadership. Is one conceptualization preferable to you? Why or why not?
  • Select one concept that is new to you and discuss how it has changed your evolving understanding of community and leadership.

Please note that after posting the answers, you will also need to engage in discussion, ask questions for clarification, and respond to questions directed to you later.
