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 2 will build on the ethical and leadership framework outlined in Session 1 and apply them to the role of the leader in promoting societal and organizational change, when change is needed, and stability, when stability is needed.Both sessions will explore the ethical dilemmas inherent in leadership and change agentry and approaches to resolving those dilemmas.
