APPROACHES TO CHANGE
1. Welfare approach
• THE immediate &/or spontaneous response to the manifestation of
poverty, especially on the personal level
• ASSUMES that poverty is God-given; destined, hence the poor should
accept their condition since they will receive their just reward in
heaven
• BELIEVES that poverty is caused by bad luck, natural disaster and
certain circumstances which are beyond the control of people
2. Modernization approach
• ALSO referred to as the project development approach
• INTRODUCES whatever resources are lacking in a given community
• ALSO considered a national strategy which adopts the western mode
of technological development
• ASSUMES that development consists of abandoning the traditional
methods of doing things and must adopt the technology of industrial
countries
• BELIEVES that poverty is due to lack of education; lack of resources
suck as capital and technology
3. Transformatory/Participatory approach
• THE process of empowering/transforming the poor and the oppressed
sectors of society so that they can pursue a more just and humane
society
• ASSUMES that poverty is not God-given, rather it is rooted in the
historical past and is maintained by the oppressive structures in
society
• BELIEVES that poverty is caused by prevalence of exploitation,
oppression, domination and other unjust structures

LEADERSHIP STYLES
Autocratic
➢ A type of leader having unlimited power over others, is domineering, and

open it up.
Laissez-Faire
➢ A type of leader that leaves all the decision making to his/her member.
➢ A leader who is passive wherein he/she doesn’t care of what are the
ideas of the members.
TYPES AND DIFFICULTIES IN DECISION-
MAKING
THE ONE PERSON DECISION
Only one person’s decision in a particular group is always
final without reference to the study.
THE HAND CLASP
In a group meeting, on member may raise a suggestion I
which everybody would approve without further questions of the
said matter.
THE FLOP
In a group meeting, on member may raise a suggestion of a
certain matter, but unfortunately not given the time to be heard
by everybody in the group.
THE CLIQUE
A small exclusive circle of people who always go against
the decision approved by the group they belong. They make
foolishness out of the idea raised by a person so that there
would be no decision achieved.
MINORITY
A small group of members in a certain organization that are
very united and who will make a decision of a certain matter
beyond the knowledge of the other members of the organization
not belonging to their group.
MAJORITY
During meetings, it often happens that there are two
possible decisions that could be made: To eliminate the other,
the leader may decide to have a voting process, and the highest
idea who gained votes will be carried by the body.
CONFLICTING LOYALTIES
When a person is involved in two different groups that
could no longer do the role because of conflict of time to be
prioritized.
INTERPERSONAL CONFLICT
It is a conflict between persons that would hinder
prosperity because of the person involved would not agree to
support each other to attain a project due to pride and other
reasons.
HIDDEN AGENDA
A person may offer or open a plan to a group, without the
knowledge of other members.

not met. Everybody raises ideas, but no agreement is made.
