Leaders believe in creating change out of a spirit of community, building a collaborative vision through dialogue, and developing a vision that
integrates personal and professional beliefs.
The concepts of leadership, advocacy, and change are intertwined. Leaders are expected to be innovators, risk takers, and strategic thinkers. They
also need to be advocates at the local, state, and national levels, and they need to motivate and lead members, followers, and communities to do the
same. Advocacy enables, empowers, and encourages members to become involved in change.
To prepare:
Think about different leadership, change, and advocacy perspectives as they relate to the agency you selected for your Capstone Project.
Write a 1 – 2 page, brief description of your agency. Describe at least three distinctions in how the leadership perspective might differ from either the
change or advocacy perspectives as they relate to your agency. Explain the implications of these differences on the actions you might take and on the
potential results as they relate to the agency. Be specific, and provide examples to illustrate your points.
