Social Positionality & Consciousness Your social identities, positionality, and consciousness are key elements of your leadership identity because privilege and power often influence who is viewed as a leader and who has access to leadership opportunities, especially as traditionally defined. Since leadership is about creating a more just and equitable world, we must consider social identity, privilege, and power in our leadership pursuits. You can make your leadership identity socially conscious by: 1) examining your social identities and becoming more mindful of your positionality, 2) showing cultural humility and being sensitive to the identities & experiences of others, and 3) by leading in more inclusive ways that support people in experiencing belonging & empowerment. Factoring this element in:Based on my SOCIAL POSITIONALITY & CONSCIOUSNESS, who am I as a leader and what am I working towards?

You should consider how your values, strengths, and social positionality might inform the causes that are important to you and the actions you take to address those causes.
