Post how a social work administrator’s personal leadership philosophy and style

may influence a human services organization’s culture.


A social worker has their own philosophy and leadership that can set the tone of an

organization as well as the staff and the people served. There are three common types of

leadership styles: authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire (Northouse, 2018). Each style can

potentially influence how staff and other individuals respond to you as a leader, how the work

is presented, and how the staff completes their work.


Authoritarian leadership is a style characterized by individual control over all decisions with

little input from the members of the group. Democratic leadership occurs when individuals who

are characterized as unequal by the standards of hierarchy, have shared power and are included

in all decision making. Laissez-faire is a leadership style where the leader takes a “hands off”

approach and allows the group members to make the decisions.


Explain how the organization’s culture might influence a social work

administrator’s personal leadership style.


There are numerous ways for culture to influence a social work administrator’s personal

leadership experience. One way is through the style of the leader such as an authoritarian leader

can make the work environment tense, controlled, and even uncomfortable because the group

members have no say. On the other hand, if the leader is democratic, the work atmosphere

could be more comfortable and positive since the group members can be involved in the

decisions.
