Social influence

Based on what I learned during Module 3: Self-Improvement, I feel the inspirational section of Transformational Leadership (TL) is this most important concept. Of everything we talked about, this concept immediately struck me as something that I’ve seen my peers perform well and something that I could improve upon. For a long time, I have found my efforts to inspire my subordinates, peers and supervisors have been hit or miss. According to the Self Assessment of Leadership Behavior my overall…

What makes a person to become a leader or a follower? Alejandro Ines, a college student at Porterville College, writes about how anybody could be a leader and a follower, in his essay, called “Follower or Leader?” Ines introduced a book we read in class, called, “The Sunflower,” by Simon Wiesenthal, an author and a Jew who survived the Holocaust.

Gloria Arellanes and Rosalio Muñoz were three key activists of the Chicano civil rights and empowerment struggle. This movement was not an easy thing to accomplish. It took long term commitments from the leaders of this movement in their fight for social justice and civil rights for the Chicano people.

But what does that really mean? A leader must demonstrate to their followers exactly what to do to achieve their goal. They cannot reach their desired result by bartering, lying or stealing.

spot or television ad, the responsibility for our choices falls squarely where it belongs, on ourselves. Persuasion is an attempt to influence people's attitudes.
