About this ebook

Community Redevelopment may be exciting, rewarding, but often complex.

It takes having a sincere desire to assist others in need and treating others as you would expect to be treated; being passionate regarding the work you do, and being fully committed to seeing it through. Remembering, "To whom much is gained, much is required".

Thanks for your interest in the 21st Century Community Leader's Guiding Principles to community redevelopment and I look forward to hearing about the success of your community redevelopment project.

    What Comes with Change

    What is CHANGE and what may come with CHANGE?

    One thing in life that is inevitable is…

    Change. It happens whether we want it to or not. Some people welcome change and find ways to turn the unexpected into an opportunity for growth. Others become frightened and simply react.

    How we handle the inevitable changes in life is key to living a life without fear. The right attitude can mean the difference between allowing unexpected life changes to keep us from achieving our goals or dealing with the changes and growing because of them.

    When we are confronted with unforeseen changes in our lives, our first response may be to either run away from it or fight against it. Run or fight is an inborn survival instinct that occurs when we feel threatened. Fueled by adrenaline, the run or fight response is exhausting and leaves us feeling overwhelmed. However, there are steps we can take to gain control of our fear, embrace the challenge, and turn adversity into an avenue for success.

    There are three stages we go through when change occurs:

    Embracing it—being open to it by realizing that it will take place with or without your input.

    Adapting to it—by making preparations to sustain your role in the community and being able to function according to this new way of living.

    Making it work—implementing strategies that will assist in achieving your overall goal.

    In this workshop, as a Leader, you will learn the basic elements of what influences change, how to embrace change, adapt to change and making it work by utilizing it as a vehicle to achieving success.

    A Message from the Author

    Dear Up-and-Coming Community Leader,

    WELCOME TO THE PATHWAY TO LEADERSHIP! I am excited about having this opportunity to prepare you in becoming a Twenty-first-Century Community Leader. Being a leader requires commitment, hard work, and the ability to be flexible during changing times.

    The Twenty-first-Century Community Leadership Guidebook to Community Redevelopment will teach you about leadership, the foundation on which leadership skills are developed, and taking action. Some may classify leaders as born leaders, and some may have acquired the skill. However, whatever the situation may be, you must have a passion for what you are doing and an inner satisfaction of knowing you are providing a service that can change the lives of others for the better.

    Following the completion of the guidebook, you will know if you have what it takes to be a leader, your leadership category, and acquire skills that will assist you in becoming an effective Community Leader that will change the lives of future generations.

    Welcome to the twenty-first century!

    Sincerely,

    Jocquelyn Marshall
