Leadership is the bridge that helps connect the gap between a problem and a solution. In this manuscript, the author presents The Ellison Model, "a conceptual framework that focuses on relationships with a holistic alternative method of delivering programs and services from a context of inclusive community building." The Ellison Model has five foci: inclusion, multicultural appreciation, mentorship, conflict resolution, and relationship building. These foci build leaders and teams that will solve problems in the least destructive way possible. The Ellison Model's insistence on inclusion and embrace of multiculturalism make it the perfect model for leadership in the 21st century.
