The Leader-Follower-Driver Relationships for Social Change
This assignment is meant to give you the opportunity to explore how Drivers affect how
successful people are in the Leader-Follower relationship – and how Leadership Style
also influences this relationship. Each of the steps below need only be answered in a
couple of sentences or a paragraph, so this assignment should be about 2 pages,
double-spaced.
1. Define a field in which you are interested, and is not the one used by
your team. It can be pretty general such as politics or it can be specific
such as Portland city politics.
2. List the person or organization that you see as the traditional leader in
this field. They can be described by title or by name, for instance in the
field of medicine, leaders can be described as doctors, hospitals, HMO’s or
Dr. Seuss.
3. Who is a traditional follower or who are followers of this leader?
Again, this can be a person’s title or a name or a group of people. You
should only list one set of followers, because if you list several you may
accidently make too many generalizations about the leader-follower
relationship.
4. Describe what you believe is the most important traditional driver
defines this leader-follower relationship. What is the most significant
influence economically, socially, ecologically, politically, spiritually, etc.?
5. Then, try to define how the drivers in that field might change or are
currently changing. Describe this as a new driver. These changes may
be obvious, but many are not. Leaders of the future are often the ones
who can perceive these changes and position themselves to lead before
others.
6. Finally, try to predict or define who you feel is or will be the new
leader(s) and follower(s) in that field based upon your predicted
change in drivers. Of course, and it is common, even with changes in
external drivers – the leader(s) or follower(s) may not change. This would
be an indication of leadership that is aware of those external drivers and
are successful in getting out ahead of the curve.
For extra credit:
Describe what you feel is the one, most prominent leadership style that is
demonstrated by the traditional and new leaders in your example.
Assignment #1: Your Historical Place in Leading Social Change
The point of this assignment is to make relevant use of the concepts discussed in class and to begin to
give you practice in reflecting on your own experiences in leadership and change. These concepts
include the seven Historical Approaches to leadership from class, the idea of “fields” (aspects of society
or life), examples of your attributes (power or authority) that you have in that field and the types of
change that can take place.
Directions:
Name an aspect of your life (field) in which you participate as a leader or a follower (examples: family,
school, work, your major, etc.) and answer the following questions:
1. What is the one most significant historical approach to leadership that you feel exists in this field
or area of your life and why? Do you agree with that historical approach and why?
2. How does change occur in this field or aspect of your life and are you comfortable with the way
change happens: revolutionary or evolutionary; predictable or chaotic; originating from the
fringe or the center?
3. What attributes do you have that you might use in terms of being involved in leadership - as a
leader or a follower.
4. Who would be an example of a great leader for social change in your field? (Just name and short
description is sufficient.)
Note: This is meant to be a brief reflection paper, about 2.5 pages long (about 800 words). Each
question only needs one or two paragraphs at most. This assignment may be useful practice for your
final paper.
