Thus far, our readings have stressed the idea that leadership is a process and not merely an action. A leadership role is one which you work to attain. An individual is not simply born a leader. Important leadership skills and the seven C's of the social change model must be learned and developed over time. I feel that this first image points to the idea of leadership as a process without an end. A leader can always acquire new skills and develop further.
One of the ideas that I took away from this week's reading, and the discussion topic for this week, was the importance of incorporating multiple perspectives. This image displays the concept of bringing individuals of different backgrounds and ages together to work toward a common vision. By involving a wide range of individuals in a group, you can discover new opinions and develop existing ideas. The most important element of this visual is the togetherness. While diversity is important in the group, it is critical that you focus on collaboration and ensure that the group has a shared goal if you want to create social change.
