Transforming Leaders

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
-- Margaret Mead

In Emerging Leaders, participants learned that before understanding how to lead others, one must first understand how to lead oneself. Now it’s time to begin the external leadership process.

The UNH Leadership Team is proud to present Transforming Leaders, a program strives to educate participants about emerging leadership paradigms and how to use them to create real, intentional, enduring change that is centered in relationships, ethics, purpose, inclusion, and empowerment.

Transforming Leaders is an advanced level leadership education program recommended for those who have already participated in the Emerging Leaders Program. If you have completed Emerging Leaders, don’t miss this opportunity to transform and be transformed!!!

An Explanation of Guiding Theories:

* Using the Transformational Leadership Paradigm, the Transforming Leaders Program attempts to develop transforming leaders who see value in working with others in a leadership relationship that raises everyone, including the larger organization, to higher moral and ethical aspirations and conduct. Transforming leaders understand the importance of creating real, intentional, and enduring change, and value the processes that make that change happen.

* Using the Relational Leadership Model, the Transforming Leaders Program attempts to develop process-oriented leaders who see leadership as a relationship, unable to exist without two or more people. Relational leaders work to lead in such a way that is inclusive of diverse people and points of view.

* Using the Social Change Model of Leadership, the Transforming Leaders Program attempts to develop conscious and congruent leaders who can collaborate with others, who can become committed participants in the shaping of the group's common purpose, who can help to resolve controversy with civility, and who can be responsible citizens.
