Imagine a future Global Pandemic. Think in terms of what good, solid leadership might look like in this imagined pandemic. What should a leader do? How should a leader speak to his or her people? What comforting words might that leader offer to his or her people? These are the sorts of questions one should be asking. Clearly, there are more to be asked. Pick eight readings from this Gloria Fiero textbook and use them to create a series of one-page arguments drawn from Humanities readings that show the best from the past as far as leadership in a crisis may be considered. What can the general public learn from those examples? For purposes of this assignment, you must cite every source that you use in accord with MLA style, citing the individual readings on the works cited page as if they emerge from an anthology where Gloria Fiero is the editor.

“A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit.”  – John Maxwell One of the primary responsibilities of a leader is to provide guidance to the organization’s greatest resource … its people! Many organizations maintain that their people are, in fact, their most important asset. A leader must be able to effectively steward, support, strengthen, empower and develop this resource. Based on what you’ve learned this week (and throughout this course), explain at least 2 ways in which you will intentionally “strengthen” those who look to you as a leader.

Put them in order of importance, with “10” being the most important and “1” being the least important. ___ Domain ___ High energy ___ Self-confidence ___ Emotional stability ___ Integrity / reliability ___ Intelligence ___ Flexibility ___ Visionary thinking ___ Sensitivity towards others ___ Charisma 2. In your first contribution, identify your first four options. Explain why you think these are the most important characteristics for effective leadership. 3. In your subsequent contributions, identify patterns seen in the best choices. Comment on the meaning of these patterns. Alternatively, if patterns do not emerge, discuss the decisions made by other students. You can also suggest some additional features that you think are of great importance.

Social workers in administrative roles must be able to identify and analyze the external factors that affect the function of the human services organizations for which they work. Though you may apply leadership and management skills as you assume an administrative position, you may also be able to repurpose many of the assessment skills you use in clinical practice for macro social work. Just as you gather information about a client and develop strategies for treatment at a micro level, so too, at a macro level, you gather and analyze information about a situation or program and identify appropriate strategies that will support positive organizational functioning.

Throughout this course, you have studied both dark and light leadership theories. Now is the time to put that information to work by comparing and contrasting two prominent leaders from history, one a light (ethical) leader, the other a dark (unethical) leader. The point of this entire course is to provide you with enough education to compare and contrast dark and light leadership styles. By choosing real-world leaders from history you will develop a better understanding of why ethical leadership is so important to organizational success. In your paper, Identify two leaders from history, one dark (unethical) and one light (ethical). Prepare a brief biography for each leader, focusing primarily on the event that makes them stand out in history. Describe the leadership style the individual uses most and why. Define the leadership style used by this leader. Explain how the leader demonstrates this leadership style. Analyze the particular act or behavior that makes this leader ethical or unethical. Describe the effects the leader may have had on the organization they led. Explain in first person the most important lesson you have learned from this course and how you can use this information in future situations.
