The development of leadership capacities addresses a vital and
continuing need in communities and organizations as they attempt to
adapt to a wide range of social, economic, environmental, and
political changes. Leadership development activities that focus on
building new skills and fostering new ideas directly shape local
and organizational capacity. At the organizational level,
leadership is a valued resource as organizations are faced with
challenges of limited resources, funding, and other capacities.
Community leadership operates within a different domain; an
environment with different dynamics, structures, and goals.
Community leadership is distinctive in that leaders often do not
have formal training or authority to dictate and facilitate change.
Instead, community leaders must rely on informal networks of
diverse citizens, each with a unique local capacity, as the basis
for change.
This book brings together classic and contemporary articles
drawn from Community Development. Divided into two sections, the
book begins with a range of seminal leadership theory and
conceptualization pieces. These have been instrumental in shaping
leadership development in a wide range of settings. Following the
theory section, a variety of research and application chapters are
presented. These chapters operationalize theory through applied
research and programming, and provide replicable frameworks for
future research and programs.
This book is a compilation of articles published in the journal
Community Development.
