Course Description:
As social workers assume roles of leadership – whether formally or informally - leading social or organizational change or fostering social or organizational stability, they must do so with a clear understanding of ethics and a rich set of concepts, skills, and tools. Especially in times of uncertainty and conflict, such as these, this vital set of resources (many of which are drawn from social work; many from other fields) are essential to achieving outcomes that improve the common good and empower the marginalized all while ensuring integrity in methods and outcomes by remaining grounded in a firm set of ethics. Drawing on some of the best writing and thinking in the fields of social work, leadership, social and organizational change, and ethics, this series provides the participants with the concepts and tools necessary for effective ethical leadership, management, and change agentry.Session 1 will lay the ethical groundwork (drawing on a range of ethical frameworks, including, but not limited to, social work) and research-based and proven leadership constructs for social workers to lead in a range of settings and around a range of issues.
