ABSTRACT
As you may recall, the purpose of this book is to help you learn how you can best provide significant, meaningful service to a community group or organization while gaining new skills, knowledge, and understanding that you can apply to multiple situations beyond your current service-learning project. In chapter 3, we learn that leaders are change agents who apply their skills and knowledge to effect positive outcomes. In chapter 4, we explore group interaction and include tips on how to improve the functioning and productivity of groups through healthy interaction with others as well as identifying different roles within a group that are necessary for a group to succeed. Indeed, collaboration and motivating others toward common goals are hallmarks of the Seven Cs of leadership development (consciousness of self, congruence, commitment, collaboration, common purpose, controversy with civility, and citizenship), discussed in chapter 3.
