Evidence based practice is essential to effective social work practice. For this assignment, you are required to (a) identify a current practice problem relevant in your current agency (i.e., engaging clients when they don’t talk much, having negative perceptions about your client, counter), (b) after identifying your practice problem, conduct an extensive literature search as it relates to your practice problem that provides you with a complete understanding of the practice problem.

Based on your findings in the literature, what did you discover that will help you address your practice problem? How might your research guide your work in your field agency?  After reviewing the literature/research and comparing it to the practice problem, the student is expected to do the following:

Submit a 1-2 page reflection paper that:

  1. Briefly discusses the literature
  2. Briefly identifies the practice problem
  3. Briefly explains how the literature will be used to address the practice problem while engaging in the agency.

NOTE: The goal is for you and the Field Instructor to have an open discussion regarding your identified problem while discussing evidenced based solutions to address them. Your field instructor will be evaluating your ability to demonstrate your competency in their field evaluation. In addition, you will submit this assignment for classroom credit. The Field Liaison will grade the assignment “PASS/FAIL,” see rubric for passing criteria.

Assessment of Strategic Leaders

Remember: This course has major project assignments that will be due in Weeks 3 and 5. It will take more than a week’s effort to adequately complete them. Plan time to start the research and other work for those assignments earlier than the week in which they are due.

This week’s assignment is separate from the major project. For this weeks’ assignment, consider the following leaders:

· Abraham Lincoln

· Socrates

· Mahatma Gandhi

· Mother Teresa

· Barack Obama

· Muhtar Kent

· Herb Kelleher

· Howard Schultz

· You may also select other well known leaders with approval of the instructor

Research any two of these leaders and assess what makes or made these leaders strategic.

In your comparison also consider:

· What commonalities can you identify in terms of these leaders’ personalities, communication styles, ego, personal will, and other leadership qualities?

· What evidence exists to suggest the leaders were (or weren’t) committed to greatness?

· How did they build extraordinary organizations (or movements)?

· What lessons can you synthesize from your study of the leaders and apply to enhance your own leadership practice?

Submission Details

· Submit your paper as a 3 page Microsoft Word document, using APA style with scholarly references.
