Twenty years ago, the social change model of leadership development was created against the backdrop of postmodern reconceptualizations of leadership to address college students’ desires to learn to work effectively with others. Since its inception in 1996, it has been applied to various contexts, including those in education, business and industry, law and government, science and technology, as well as in a variety of creative fields. This webinar, led by Susan Komives with support from a variety of leadership scholars, will reflect upon the initial development of the social change model of leadership, its impact and resilience over the past two decades, and how it will continue to be a driving force in these uncertain times.
