Leadership and Management—A Personal Perspective

/in /by

Last week, you began exploring the similarities and differences of leadership and management roles and the contributions these roles make to an organization’s functioning. Social workers need to be aware of these similarities and differences in order to determine which management or leadership skills are most appropriate in a given position or situation.

This week, you have focused on the influence of external factors on an organization’s functioning with a special focus on their impact on the leadership of social workers in supervisory roles.

As you have explored leadership and management roles, skills, and behaviors, you may have become aware of how these align, or do not align, with your personal skills, strengths, and interests. You may also have begun to consider how external factors might influence you if you were to assume a leadership or management role in social work.

For this Assignment, you assess your strengths and areas for growth in order to determine what aspects of leadership and management are a good “fit” with your personality, leadership style, and relevant skills. You also address how external factors might influence you as you serve in a leadership or management role.

Assignment (4–5 paragraphs): Complete the following:

Assess your strengths and areas for growth with regard to both the leadership and management roles based on what you understand about these roles so far. Be sure to address whether your skills and interests align better with the leadership or management role.
Identify at least one area of growth in either of these roles you would like to further develop, and explain why.
Identify two significant external factors that might influence your work if you served in a leadership or management role in social work. Explain why these external factors are significant and how they might affect your work as a leader or manager.

  1. Describe the principles of directing and how you would employ then in your production of Fairview. Give careful thought here to the theme of the play and the conceptual way you “see” the show.
  2. Describe the objectives of scenic design and how these objectives are met. Give careful thought here to the type of theatre space you would use to stage the show.
  3. Describe the objectives of costume design and how these objectives are met and how you would employ them
  4. Describe the objectives of lighting design and the controllable properties of light that help to realize these objectives and how you employ them.
  5. Describe the objectives of sound design and how these objectives are met and how you would employ them.

(I am asking you to send me drafts of each of these questions. This way I can give you feedback to stimulate your thinking and your imagination!)

I am then asking you to do a visual representation of your ideas. This could be done in a PowerPoint or in drawings or in the building of a model. I ask you to be creative!

I. Director

a) Theme
b) Concept
c) Cast (Visual representation) This could be actual actors, but I would prefer looking for faces or images that fit your concept of the show. Concept is everything!

II. Set (Visual representation)

Ground plan (Create playing areas. Think exits and entrances. Think levels. Think furnishings. Wall treatment. Windows and doors. How does the set reflect character, theme and concept?)

-space
-balance
-color
-texture
-condition
-ornamentation

III. Costume – 2 characters (Visual representation)

(Think about how costume reflects character, conflict, theme, concept. Does costume show power or lack of power? Does it show connection to other character or differences? Does costume reflect economic standing?)

-line (silhouette)
-color
-fabric
-accessories

IV. Lights (Visual representation of a moment)

(Think about mood and how light affects and highlights moments of conflict. Pick a couple of specific moments and think about the lighting of those moments)

-intensity
-color
-direction
-form

V. Sound (Audio presentation)

(Think about how sound can establish place and affect mood. Think about practical sound and how sound can underscore specific moments of action in the play)

Issues of Race

/in /by

Much of the literature produced during the Harlem Renaissance addresses issues of race, either directly or indirectly, by focusing on subjects such as racism, interactions between people of different races, and the experiences within different aspects of African American heritage. In one paragraph, compare and contrast how these two works: “Incident” by Countee Cullen and “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston address issues of race. Support your ideas with at least two specific examples from each selection.
