When mental health professionals are promoted into leadership
roles, they're often expected to "hit the ground running" with
little training or experience. This eye-opening book is the perfect
way for new leaders to fill that gap in professional
development--and help their organization meet the needs of children
and families.
Bringing to book form the principles and practices behind the
renowned Georgetown University Leadership Development Program, this
essential resource dispels the myths about good leadership and
sheds light on the values and actions that steer an individual and
an organization toward success. Mental health administrators and
program developers will
- learn about five effective leadership styles--and how to choose
the right one for different contexts and situations
- master the shift between multiple leadership functions within
their organization or system
- develop specific skills and attitudes associated with good
leadership, such as being flexible, welcoming diverse perspectives,
and knowing when to relinquish some control
- build productive, collaborative relationships with a wide array
of providers, consultants, case managers, and community
agencies
- overcome personal, organizational, and environmental obstacles
to effective leadership
- strengthen resilience by using proven strategies for managing
stress and adversity
- ensure that their personal values align with a strengths-based,
family-centered, and culturally competent system of care
Throughout the book, the expert contributors distill the best of
today's theory and research on leadership and bring key points to
life with real-world examples and anecdotes. And practical
worksheets help readers address conflict, improve their resiliency,
clarify their views of leadership, collaborate effectively during
team meetings, and more.
No matter where readers are on their leadership journey--whether
they're new to their roles or veterans seeking to renew their
passion and commitment--this book will help them master the skills
they need to guide and motivate staff, bring about positive systems
change, and ensure the best outcomes for children and families.
