Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 1, vol. 37 (jan. 2007) . - pp. 123-141 Titre : Leadership in Social Work : A Case of Caveat Emptor? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John Lawler, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford university press - GB - Oxford Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 123-141 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Cardijn Travail social Mots-clés : Travail social Résumé : "This article examines the current interest in leadership in general and the growing interest in leadership in social work, in particular. It highlights the lack of a generalized definition of the word and the different ways it is interpreted in social work. The implicit assumptions on which much leadership writing appears to be founded are noted. Leadership can be seen as a further development of the managerial agenda, from one perspective, or as a countervailing factor maintaining professional autonomy, from another. In considering some of the components of leadership as identified by some in the field, the paper considers the extent to which these skills are exclusive to leadership and asks whether they might already be present but overlooked in the profession. The paper concludes that expectations of leadership within social work would benefit from debate and clarification if this is to be a useful future theme."
