Husky LEAD Program Conceptual Framework

St. Cloud State University hosts leadership exploration, education, training, and development experiences in many different contexts throught out the University. Students can explore and engage in many types of experiences within academics, co-curricular, and specific programs. We believe that Leadership is multi-dimensional and is an ongoing process of development and exploration that occurs through out many student experiences and entities at SCSU.

According to Komives et al. (2006), there are differing approaches, lenses, and models that show the mulitidimensionality of leadership. Leadership is complex and there is no perfect leadership model. The following are some of the philosophies, models, and theoretical frameworks utilized as the basis for the Husky L.E.A.D. program.

Relational Leadership Model

(Komives, Lucas, & McMahon, 2006)

Relational leadership involves a focus on five primary components. This approach to leadership is inclusive of people and diverse points of view, empowers those involved, is purposeful and builds commitment toward common purposes, is ethical, and recognizes that all four of those elements are accomplished by being process-oriented.

Leaders are encouraged to be competent in three areas: Knowledge, attitudes, and skills.
