Leadership Discussion
Initially, the concept of leadership focused on an individual who organized
a group of people to achieve a goal. Today, however, leadership is depicted
in a different way. The field focuses not only on an individual leader, but
also on members, supervisors, and followers representing a spectrum of
diversity. During the evolution of leadership, several theories, models,
and perspectives have emerged. As a human and social services professional,
it is important to consider how different theories, models, and
perspectives of leadership might be used to achieve professional and
societal goals.

applied to your issue.

By Day 3
Post a brief description of your professional or societal issue and the

you chose that theory, model, or perspective, and explain how it might be
applied to your issue. Be specific, and use processes of that theory,
model, or perspective to illustrate your point.
