9 Theory of Change Leader Archetypes By inspiring change within the mind-set of leadership, these archetypes, developed by TakingITGlobal co-founder Jennifer Corriero, strive to celebrate the diverse approaches to change-making among youth. TakingITGlobal (TIG) believes change starts when individuals learn, reflect, and grow. Our own Theory of Change is inspired by philosopher Ken Wilbur's model of cyclic, continuous progressive development. With TIG, an individual changes and moves through each quadrant in a cyclical path. A Youth Development TIG helps youth internalize information and build a deeper understanding of their world and themselves. Through TIGed, we help students develop a sense of social responsibility and awareness of global issues. B Youth Action & Participation Through involvement in the TIGweb.org online community, youth become aware of their own capacities for change and develop a sense of belonging to an active, engaged community. TIG's e-courses, toolkits, and action guides facilitate participation of youth as global citizens. C Social Movements TIG encourages the development of self-aware, action-oriented individuals who recognize their roles as key stakeholders. We connect them to like-minded individuals who can then work together towards a common goal, ultimately creating a collective social movement that influences societal values. D Societal Values As TIG's work creates positive change, we trigger broader social movements that can create shifts in global policy – ultimately creating a more inclusive, peaceful and sustainable world. The Dreamer Has big ideas, hopes and aspirations for the future. The Megaphone Speaks out against injustice with far- reaching messages through an amplified voice. The Spark Plug Brings people together to create new opportunities & sources of influence. The Task Master Organizes and plans projects, tackles new initiatives. The Sherpa Guides, mentors and educates people by investing in the opinions of others. The Storyteller Communicates and helps others understand the stories of people who have created waves of change.
