| SCM Background
The Socially Responsible Leadership Scale (SRLS) is an assessment that is based on the eight values of the Social Change Model (SCM) of leadership. SCM is a model of college student leadership that emphasizes social change. It was developed by leadership educators from colleges across the United States.
SCM describes leadership as a purposeful, collaborative, values-driven process, instead of a title or position. Leaders try to improve the groups or communities they are part of. In this approach to leadership, a "leader" is anyone who wants to work with others to make a difference.
This kind of collaborative process means that groups must have trust, which requires that group members act in ways that are consistent with their own beliefs and values as well as the group’s goals. The team that developed SCM concluded that eight values are necessary in order to have trust, common goals and true collaboration.
