Community Development: Theories and Application

Cognitive Resource Theory



Definition: Intelligence and experience and other cognitive resources are factors in leadership success

Application: For example, When leaders are better at planning and decision-making, in order for their plans and decisions to be implemented, they need to tell people what to do, rather than hope they agree with them. This happens in the community when you have dominate personalities in the community that are leaders, and the stakeholders agree many times out of fear.

Adaptation: This can happen in all walks of life, especially when you have leaders in a dictator type of system. Having proper leadership styles and a voice in the decision making process should be a part of all groups.
