Social Work Leadership\u00a0<\/p>\n

After reading the assigned resources about leadership types and skills, as well as information about attending to tasks and relationships, you may be starting to develop ideas about how an administrator\u2019s leadership style and philosophy can either facilitate or limit social change efforts. The way in which social work administrators interact with diverse stakeholders such as clients, staff, board members, and community members, contributes to a model of service delivery that emphasizes quality and effectiveness.<\/p>\n

Also, explain how the organization\u2019s culture might influence a social work administrator\u2019s personal leadership style. Finally, explain how interactions with stakeholders may ultimately impact the organization\u2019s treatment of clients. Be sure to provide specific examples in your explanations.<\/h4>\n

Administrator\u2019s Leadership Philosophy and Style<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Northouse\u00a0(2018) , Theory Y leadership philosophy entails the following three characteristics: 1. People like work 2. People are self-motivated 3. People accept and seek responsibility.\u00a0 An administrator with this style will more likely have people who are willing to work towards common goals and fulfill the agency\u2019s mission and vision.\u00a0 Theory X entails these three characteristics: 1. People dislike work 2. People need to be directed and controlled 3. People want security, not responsibility.\u00a0 This would mean that people have only one goal to work which is to be paid.\u00a0 In the field of social work, it is uncommon for the work to be for the paycheck.\u00a0 Using this type of philosophy would not be effective for a social work administrator.\u00a0 If Theory X is used, there may be a culture that the administrator does not care about the people and does not allow for the people to fulfill the needs of the clients.\u00a0 The leadership style that accompanies Theory X is authoritarian style.\u00a0 In this style, it is more like a dictatorship culture.\u00a0 If Theory Y was used, there would be a culture of respect and openness regarding ideas for the future.\u00a0 The democratic leadership style accompanies the Theory Y philosophy.\u00a0 A democratic leadership style allows the people to have influence of decisions within the agency.\u00a0 This creates a culture for new ideas and respect (Northouse, 2018).<\/p>\n

Regarding influence on the leadership style, an event would need to occur that would cause the administrator to switch styles.\u00a0 An example would be if the agency is not following policies, mission and\/or vision of the agency.\u00a0 In this event, the administrator would need to change from a democratic style to an authoritarian style in order to get some control within the agency.\u00a0 This would not be effective long term however would be effective in gaining control of the agency.<\/p>\n

Regarding stakeholders, it would be effective to utilize the relationship-oriented leadership in order to build positive relationships between your organization and stakeholders.\u00a0 If an administrator builds positive relationships with stakeholders, this can affect other services that could be implemented, aftercare programs to utilize after the organization has completed its service, etc.\u00a0 The relationship and administrator has with stakeholders is key in building resources for your clients.\u00a0 If an administrator has an authoritative leadership and demands rather than collaborates with stakeholders, this could negatively impact community resources for your clients (Northouse, 2018).<\/p>\n
