 Organization and leadership in social work

1. According to you, why is organization and leadership essential in social work? Name some of the approaches of organization and leadership relevant to social work from your experiences. Also, what are some of the drawbacks in organizational leadership and management you have experienced personally (either as a client or as an employee)?  (300 words).
 

Social work also means social service, it aims to help individuals who are in great need of help, disadvantaged groups and certain communities by offering them psychological consult, guide, assistance and in the form of social services particularly. Organization and leadership are both important factors in enterprise management. Bennis and Nanus once define leadership as a hateful snowman who has his footprints here and there but who is nowhere to be seen ((Bennis and Nanus, 1985). And they are more important in social work. The target customers of social work mostly have some problems in physical and psychological aspect, so it is more difficult to help them than normal people. I have been worked as a social work to help teenagers who are living poor areas and eager to learn knowledge. Six teachers from our social organization are sent to teach these children. I am one of them and I am responsible to teach them English. The company communicates with some local citizens to provide us a place to live. And some plans are made to guide us what to do step by step. All plans seem to be perfect but there are some practical problems existing when we teach. For instance, some poor children whose parents are migrant workers working in big cities. They have some psychological problems, they do not like to talk with others because they have inferiority complex. I have some difficulties in teaching them, especially the English subject. English is a subject which needs students’ reaction to a large extent. However, most of students are too shy to exchange ideas with me. It is a really tough job for me to teach them English, besides, their English pronunciation is bad and there is a necessary for me to correct their pronunciation. These are all problems originating from bad organization and leadership. Company need to organize a special sector specialized in psychological consult. Thus more students’ psychological problems will be settled down and some teaching problems related to psychological problems can be solved accordingly.

2. What are some of the ethical dilemmas social workers can face in organizational settings? How can social workers deal with these ethical dilemmas? Discuss with the help of course literature and your own thoughts (400words).

5. Suppose you are a social worker and consultant. A group of people approach you with the idea of starting up an international human service organization ( like the red cross). What kind of an organizational plan would you develop keeping in mind the international structure of the organization and why? What kind of leadership style would suit best according to you? What characteristics would you look for in the management of such an international organization based on your social work background? (600 words)
