About this Guide

The values and actions of individuals, teams, and organizations interact with and affect the broader communities in which they are situated.  Leaders are role models and influencers with several communities simultaneously, and must possess skills and attitudes consistent with success in this larger context.

This guide is intended to explore each competency of the community/society level of the leadership competencies. Leadership competencies are cumulative, so we recommend exploring the other levels if you have yet to do so. Use the texts, videos, programs, and activities in this guide to understand and become a role model in your community.
