Citizenship involves active community participation out of a sense of responsibility. It acknowledges interdependence. Community refers to groups with shared traits or circumstances. Social capital comprises social networks and trust that enable cooperation. Bonding occurs within similar groups, while bridging links diverse groups. Citizenship is a core value of leadership as it fosters responsibility and cooperation.

What are the differences between
Burns’s ‘transactional leadership’
and ‘transforming leadership’?
Which one should we go for? Why?

16. James MacGregor Burns
• Transactional leadership: power wielders
(‘pseudo leaders’) involved in a politics of
exchange – more interested in satisfying
their own purposes than in the aspirations
of their followers

17. James MacGregor Burns
• Transforming leadership espouses a
relationship between leaders and followers
in which each transforms the other.
– Leaders transform followers, helping them to
become leaders themselves
– The aim of leadership
• not just to reach a goal
• but to transform leaders and followers into better, more self-
actualized people
• in a process where leaders and followers raise one another to
higher levels of motivation and morality

25. The Model

26. WHAT IS CITIZENSHIP?

27. Citizenship
• Citizenship is a nebulous concept, often
associated only with government, political
parties, voting, and political organizations.
• Civic engagement means working to make a
difference in the civic life of our communities
and developing the combination of
knowledge, skills and values and motivation
to make that difference
• Democracy refers to people working together
so that communities can function

28. Citizenship
• Citizenship names the process whereby the
self is responsibly connected to the
environment and the community. It
acknowledges the interdependence of all
involved in the leadership effort.
• Citizenship means more than membership; it
implies active engagement of the individual
and the leadership group in an effort to serve
the community. It implies social or civic
responsibility.
• It is, in short, the value of caring about
others.

29. Community
• A community is a group of people who
have some defined trait or circumstance
that binds them together
• So we are likely a member of a variety
of communities: our country, our family,
our university, our field of study, our
work group, and so on

30. Community
• According to the Social Change
Model, citizenship “centers on
active community participation
as a result of a sense of
responsibility to the communities
in which we live.”

31. Examples of individual
civic engagement
• direct service
• community research
• advocacy and education
• capacity building
• political involvement
• socially responsible personal and professional
behavior
• philanthropic giving
• participation in associations

32. Social Capital
• An essential component of citizenship
– “networks, norms, and social trust that
facilitate coordination and cooperation for
mutual benefit” (Robert Putnam)
• ‘Life is easier’ for those who live in communities
that have worked to foster social capital

33. Discussion
• Can you think of cases of destruction of
communities and the consequences
thereof?

34. “Bonding” and “Bridging”
• Social capital is about the value of social
networks, bonding similar people and
bridging between diverse people, with norms
of reciprocity.
• Bonding refers to social networks between
people who are similar, while bridging refers to
social networks among diverse people
• Bonding is useful for getting by and bridging
is what is needed to get ahead

35. Community development process
1. Pseudo-community (a false sense of
getting along),
2. Chaos (unconstructive struggle),
3. Budding organization (focus on quick
fixes),
4. Community (strategies exist for
allowing various voices to be heard
and ideas to be considered)

36. Recap
• Citizenship – The Social Change Model defines citizenship as,
“active community participation as a result of a sense of
responsibility to the communities in which people live.”
• Community – various dimensions include where a group of people
live, society at large, and shared identities with others
• Social capital – “networks, norms, and social trust that facilitate
coordination and cooperation for mutual benefit”
• Bonding – refers to social networks that are limited to people who
are similar
• Bridging – social networks among more diverse people and
interests

37. Discussion
Why is citizenship one of key values of
leadership?
