LEADERS...IN
PROFILE (VHS) 1990. 30 min. sd. color. #25810
Certain
myths have arisen that suggest that leadership can be reduced to
a single dimension. In fact, leadership involves a complex
combination of traits and behaviors of the leader, as well as
images that others have of the leader. These traits, behaviors
and images are shaped during interactions with followers and by
social setting and economic or political circumstances. In this
program you will observe three community leaders acting in a
variety of ways on behalf of their communities. The individuals
whose leadership experiences are depicted in this program are,
for the most part, like people we all know. By sharing these
examples, we hope to encourage more people to move into
leadership roles. ![]()
