What you need to know to become a successful executive! Most social workers are trained to be practitioners/clinicians. They are exposed to clinical theory and practice with an emphasis on psychosocial development and pathology. Content is often organized around evidence-based practice. Social workers are most often employed in the clinical roles for which they have been trained. This webinar will broaden the approach to connect social work theory with an organizational understanding, leadership concepts, issues of governance and organizational structure (boards of directors), and a beginning understanding of leadership as it relates to advocacy, strategic planning, budgeting, and financial management.
Learning Goals

To enable professionals to identify the opportunities within their organizations, to exercise leadership and promotional opportunities.
Professionals will examine the chain of command and organizational structure to advocate for clients, staff, and self.
To help professional staff connect clinical knowledge and skills to organizational and administrative leadership.
