The relationship between a leader and those being led stems from choice and chance. It is what a leader does with this choice and chance that is the Relational Leadership Theory.
I like the idea of not only creating a machine that works, but a machine that is close knit and responsive to one another both emotionally and creatively. I would also enjoy being part of a team that uses Relational Leadership because it sounds much more pleasant and enjoyable to be part of.
This type of leadership relates to the jobs I have had at children's theater camps. Working with kids is great, but they have to have a pleasant, funny, and serious relationship with the teachers.
Relational Leadership is about give and take. Without give and take there is rarely any development in ideas. There is also rarely a good relationship.
As for images that represent the social change model, there is obviously the model itself.
But really, people change, and they do it all the time. When people change, society changes. It takes 10% of a society to change or develop an idea before it exponentially grows into change. I also like this image because it takes an overly dramatic statement and puts it on a unspecific photo. It is just kinda funny.

I totally agree that good relationship skills does help you lead, especially working with kids. I also agree that relationship leadership does help connect everyone emotionally and creatively. I like your model to social change, too.
Neat ideas, Hannah. Where does the 10% statistic come from? I've never heard it before and like the idea of that!
I really like the idea of people being able to change over time, and how you related that to the leadership model because as people change, society changes, and how we lead changes too! Cool thought.
I really like that word "sonder" I've nevr heard it before but it's definitely a thinking word. And this is un-related, but I really like your blog background. Constellations and stars are too cool.
I really liked the picture you post. I think it really does bring things into perspective when there is an exaggerated concept or image like this. I also like what you said about people changing and about society changing. It makes me hopeful for a bright and promising future.
