  23. I also want to make it clear that leadership is
  24. not management, although the two are constantly getting mixed up
  25. according to huge and worry.
  26. The best way to differentiate the two is simply to
  27. remember that leadership is about people's ability, two influence organization,

  42. about a leader motivating its employee to make the beneficial
  43. changes. Transformational leadership emphasizes the their significance of vision and
  44. connection to me.

  46. on ethical ideas and places a great emphasis on building
  47. relationships with others, including the service users.
  48. Transformational leadership holds those who are aren't necessarily leaders or
  49. those who think that they are not leaders um accountable.
  50. It illustrates social practitioners ability such as exceptional communication skills,
  51. decision making skills and problem solving skills.
  52. For example, to be a successful leader, one must possess
  53. qualities such as intelligence, empathy, integrity and sociability.

  59. already. And one way of demonstrating leadership is through team
  60. building. Team building is important aspect of leadership because it
  61. exhibits transformative leadership by forming a team.
  62. Tim building is an important aspect of leadership and remember
  63. a great sense of you my goes a long way,
  64. it is about working together towards a common goal, It
  65. is about coming down to appreciating each team member's unique
  66. contribution in making and keeping lines of communication open.
  67. It is about all members being accountable, lawyer and honest
  68. and team building helps improve communication and job satisfaction.
  69. one challenge that leaders face is trying to keep the
  70. morale and engagement of individuals within the team ethical dilemma.
  71. Leaders have two objectives.
  72. one is to lead by example and another is to
  73. make ethical decisions regardless of whether or not a company
  74. has the code of Ethics, ethical problems about boundaries among
  75. the most complex and difficult to settle.
  76. The following are examples of ethical dilemma.
  77. Yeah. Making male co worker making sexual advances to female
  78. coworkers, um, stresses and well being in a workplace, overworking
  79. less pay and how to resolve some of these issues.
  80. I will use, um, um, a guideline from N.
  81. Z. E.
  82. S. S, which is the new Zealand ethics social services,
  83. um, an organization that I did placement with, so when
  84. a when stuff has complained.
  85. Um, so the employers, first of all, must identify what
  86. kind of um what kind of dilemma or issue this
  87. is. So is it harassment misconduct?
  88. And once that has been identified, they then look into
  89. the court of ethics or the relevant regulations um, that
  90. they have within the company to get them on how
  91. to um, how to report the matter.
  92. The second one is that they should be able to
  93. write it down.
  94. So the complaint or the complainant must write down what
  95. has happened, who is, who is involved when it was
  96. done and all the necessary information required.
  97. The complaint acknowledged by NZ DSS will then um The
  98. receipt of the complaint within seven working days and they
  99. will not fight the complainant.
  100. The assessment, the initial assessment and complaint resolution through NZ
  101. DSS is that they will assess the following factors.
  102. So how the seriousness or the urgency of the situation,
  103. um How has the employee who who failed the complaint
  104. been affected if a settlement is not reached in a
  105. timely manner?
  106. Um Is there any risk?
  107. And it's uh it's mine the allegation in the complaint
  108. and finally reaching the decision and they will have to
  109. contact the employee who has filled in the complaint, informed
  110. them of the results and how they came up to
  111. that decision.
  112. The board, the board of trustee um, then can be
  113. notified if there's any disciplinary action to be taken, or
  114. if the complaint cannot be settled.
  115. Now, if the complaint is not resolved and the and
  116. the employee, then the employee can approach a union to
  117. advocate for them.
  118. Um In summary leadership is one that influences others, one
  119. who strike to be a good leader by leading by
  120. example and one who believes in his or her team.
