Leadership
The "Miami Leadership Commitment"
is based on Miami's tradition of educating "men
and women for responsible, informed citizenship,
as well as meaningful employment." (Miami
University Mission Statement) Leadership is
a mutual influence relationship (Rost, 1993)
where people work together to improve or change
something to their mutual benefit.
The nine shared values which form the foundation
of the Miami Leadership Commitment are:
• Being active in the campus community
and beyond
• Seeing potential within yourself and
others
• Thinking critically and taking time
to reflect
• Respecting the dignity of others and
appreciating diversity
• Communicating directly and honestly
• Being flexible and open to change
• Taking purposeful risks
• Being responsible for your actions
• Encouraging others to live by these
values

Leadership Commitment can be found at http://www.units.muohio.edu/saf/mlc/Defined.htm
