COMMUNITY SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP VALUES

In pursuing an advanced degree in human services, it is important to consider how your leadership values align to the organization in which you work. Leadership values, such as respect, integrity, and humility, will ultimately guide your decision-making and help the organization achieve its goals.

In this Discussion, you imagine yourself as a leader of the organization where you will complete your community service this week. As you do so, you identify leadership values that you would emphasize given the organization’s outreach and humanitarian efforts.
