Responsive Leadership: Motivating for Participation
• Your Responsive Leadership in Social Services textbook addresses a
number of elements that have been identified through research as
having a significant impact on leadership and work environments.
These factors include trust, integrity, respect, empathy, and safety.
Your textbook also covers other key factors in motivation and
engagement, including needs, values, goals, and strengths.
• In your initial post, discuss how the factors of trust, integrity, respect,
empathy, and safety impact organizational needs, values, goals, and
strengths. Based on the scenario in the Riverbend City media
presentation in the Studies for this week, explain how internal
practices within the organization also influence relationships with
outside agencies. What are potential challenges to building
collaboration with external agencies if elements such as trust or
integrity are not present in the organization internally? Use course
reference material or other sources to support your discussion post.
