I am Alysha, and I’m seventeen years old. Just like you, I am still a Senior High School student. I live in San Juan, Roro, Sorsogon City. Lately, I have this goal of becoming a community leader so that I may contribute more to my community. To be more precise, I would like to be a Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Chairman. But to be honest, I am not familiar with my own community, its structure, dynamics, and processes. There are a lots of things that I would like to know because I would love to work with other community leaders and builders. How about you, do you like to be a community leader yourself? Together, let us know first the dynamics of our community to become a community leader. 3 Let’s Read! TOPIC 1: Understanding Community through its Dynamics Leaders are important figures that will guide the members to carry out the plans in pursuit of the group’s objectives. The guidance of a good leader in a group ensures the coherence of plans and better implementation of programs. In the Philippines, the government provides several levels of leadership, from the president and vice-president, including other government officials at the national and in the local levels such as mayors, congressmen, and governors. They are appointed based on qualifications, attitude and most often, through the votes of the residents. It is otherwise known as Formal Power Structure because they are individuals from whose authority is based on formal rules appointed by the government. There are also people who are appointed because of their ability to lead, direct or achieve without an official leadership title. They are known as Informal Power Structure. They are popular to others as influencers who can lead others with the most influence. Informal power comes, not from an official position, but from the respect and appreciation one has earned from the members of a group. This respect and appreciation allow the individual to influence his or her peers in a way that others within the group cannot. Examples are managers, supervisors, philanthropists, businessmen, producers and even employees who lead their group as likable and charismatic leaders. Legal authoritative decision-makers, on the other hand, are individuals or bodies whose authority is based on formal rules and institutions. They are appointed because of their intelligence, reputations, decision-making, dictation from laws and policies and connections. Examples are the appointments made by the president of the country through his/her Powers of Appointment as stated in the constitution or with the consent of the Commission on Appointments like the heads of the executive departments, board of 4 members and its leaders from any national government-related institutions, ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, etc. The aforementioned (3) power dynamics are part of individual dimensions of community which could be: 1. Interrelationship- community leaders are with direct relation with you through familial relations, affinities or feeling of kinship, and social network, and 2. Organization- they could be part of an institution or an association, that has a particular purpose in our community. Hmmmmm….. I wonder if you really got the concepts! Let’s have our first task that is on dynamics of community. Task 1. Community Leaders, Community Builders! Can you give me the power dynamics of the following community leaders as well as their individual dimensions and a short description of the kind of work they do in your community?
