Leadership Defined
A leader is not necessarily someone who hold some formal
position of leadership or who is perceived as a leader by
others. Rather, a leader is one who is able to affect positive
change for the betterment of others, the community, and
society. All people, in other words, are potential leaders.
Moreover, the process of leadership cannot be described
simply in terms of behavior of an individual; rather
leadership involves collaborative relationships that lead to
collective action grounded in the shared values of people
who work together to affect positive change.

At LeaderShape, you had the opportunity to explore the
concepts of power, privilege and justice - particularly
during Day 2 (inclusive leadership night), Day 4 (Star
Power exercise) and Day 5 (values and integrity). Please
reflect on how LeaderShape influenced your understanding
of any/all of the following concepts: power and justice,
equity, identity, awareness of your own culture, awareness
of cultures different than your own and/or your self-
awareness.
Reflection Response
“LeaderShape really helped me explore my core values and
how my values influence how I view the world. I now
understand how my values play an important role when you
have power.”
Outcomes Wheel
Within Organization
• Pre- and post-tests
• Portfolio project
• Recorded discussion
“Because we’re non-positional (there’s not a person in
charge of us), we really have to work at building consensus
and asking for help and collaborating with each
other…Everyone’s responsible to collaborate, to work on
that one task together. We have to work a lot with each
other and develop those meaningful relationships.
Sometimes a lot of differences arise, but in the end we have
to come to one agreement, which probably make our
decision better in the end because everyone’s behind it
fully.”
