SW745: SOCIAL WORK ADMINISTRATION: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND CHANGE LEADERSHIP SYLLABUS, Spring 2006 San Diego State University School of Social Work Dr. Tom Packard Ph. 594-6723 E-mail: [email protected] Hepner Hall 135 Web site: http://chhs.sdsu.edu/facultydetail.php?ID=68 Office Hours: Monday 11:15-12:00, 1:00-3:30; other times by appointment I. PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION This course is the second in a two-course sequence for students specializing in social work administration. This specialization is designed for students with some experience in social work. MSW graduates in this specialization will be equipped to assume positions as supervisors, middle managers of small agencies, or staff workers such as analysts or program specialists. Course objectives focus on two closely interrelated dimensions: analytical skills (e.g., conceptual and diagnostic skills) and application skills. The course will address both of these on each topic. This is based on the belief held by many managers and organizational consultants that managers must be able to both think and execute if they are to be effective. Students will be encouraged to think from an organizational perspective - looking at systems dynamics and the functioning of the organization as an entity - and to think like managers and leaders, with a broad perspective and an emphasis on both results and process. Also emphasized will be the importance of an action research perspective: action should be preceded by data collection and analysis. A contingency approach will be a common theme: there is no "one best way" to lead or manage; effective behavior depends on analysis of situational contingencies and action grounded in that analysis. On each topic, students will be encouraged to look for key elements or principles leading to effective administration and organizational performance. These can then be used in the future to guide administrative behavior. Finally, students will be encouraged to integrate concepts and class experience with knowledge and experiences from their field practicum and from other classes in an attempt to develop a comprehensive perspective or "world view." An overriding course theme will be organizational learning: how administrators and staff acquire and transfer knowledge to make their organizations more thoughtful, purposeful, responsive, and, ultimately, maximally effective. The first semester will address program design and core managerial processes and techniques such as management information systems, financial management, and human resource management. The second semester will focus on strategic management, leadership, organizational change management, and supervision. Both practice courses include attention to ethics and values issues and diversity and discrimination.

This will be due on April 10 and will be worth 27% of the course grade.

3

Page 4: SW745: SOCIAL WORK ADMINISTRATION: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND ...

C. 360-degree feedback: Each student will write a 10 -14 page paper based on designated instruments and feedback to assess her or his leadership style. Follow the instructions attached to the syllabus. This paper is due on May 8 and will be worth 27% of the course grade.

Papers will be graded on their responsiveness to the assignment as covered in the syllabus and attachments. Each paper should be typed and double-spaced, with numbered pages. Staple the upper left corner and do not include a cover or binding. Use 1" margins and 12-point type font, and APA format. Additional grading factors are:

Content: accurate, comprehensive, documented appropriately Persuasiveness: points are adequately supported Appropriateness & feasibility: ideas are viable

Creativity: ideas and connections among themes are creative and insightful Organization, completeness, coherence & clarity: different elements are appropriately

sequenced and connected; thoughts are stated specifically Sentence structure, grammar, & spelling: sentences convey meaning clearly &

grammatically, no fragments or run-on sentences; writing is free of errors Style: interesting, imaginative use of language; tone suitable to purpose & audience

Written feedback will not be provided on deficiencies in style, grammar, etc. If you are weak in any of these areas, consult William Strunk & E. B. White's The Elements of Style, an editor, or a similar source. Also feel free to read Edwards, Ch.15 for guidelines on writing.

Any paper may be submitted early for preliminary feedback and rewriting. Late papers will have the grade lowered one step (e.g., from B to C) for each week they

are late. Work incomplete at the end of the semester will receive an F unless prior arrangements are made.

NOTE: If you want the final paper returned, provide a stamped self-addressed envelope at the final session. D. Participation: Students will be expected to be able to list, discuss, and critique key points of assigned readings at each class session to demonstrate mastery of the material. Ratings of class participation will be based largely upon students' demonstrations of knowledge and understanding of readings as reflected in comments, reactions, and questions; reactions to assigned discussion questions; comments which show connections among different concepts and issues; comments connecting the classroom to actual practice (e.g., examples at internships); listening and non-judgmental attitudes; and group process and nonverbal behaviors. All of these behaviors are relevant in an administrative setting and reflect administrative skills. The following standards will be used:

A: Consistent, active involvement without dominating; high level of knowledge and insight; comments are on topic; efficient use of air time; interacts with, refers to comments of, and/or draws out other students, class norms followed

B: Regular involvement; good level of knowledge and insight; comments are on topic; class norms followed

4

Page 5: SW745: SOCIAL WORK ADMINISTRATION: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND ...

C: Occasional comments; usually on topic D: Rare comments, usually on topic, norms not followed F: No participation, or participation always off topic, norms not followed

Participation will be worth 10% of the course grade. E. Attendance: Attendance at all of each session is expected. Absences will detract from the attendance grade. It will help to speak to the instructor if you miss all or part of a class due to illness or another unavoidable commitment. Talking to fellow students about missed material and discussions and then writing a brief summary (handwritten is OK) of material or activities missed will help make up for missing a session. The following standards will be used, with pluses or minuses as needed:

A: No absences B: One absence D: Two absences F: Three or more absences

Any combination of two significantly late arrivals and/or early leaving may count as one absence. Class attendance will be worth 10% of the course grade. F. Overall Grading Criteria: Grades will be based on criteria and standards of the Graduate Bulletin and the School of Social Work Grading Policy documented in the Graduate Student Handbook. (See the School of Social Work website for a copy of the Graduate Student Handbook: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/%7Esocwork/grad_handbook/). As can be seen from those definitions of letter grades, summarized below, “A” grades are for truly outstanding work and are likely to be rare.

A: work that not only demonstrates excellent mastery of content, but also shows that the student has a) undertaken complex tasks, b) applied critical thinking skills to the assignment, and/or c) demonstrated creativity in her or his approach to the assignment. The degree to which the student demonstrates these skills determines whether he/she receives an A or an A-. B+: work that is judged to be very good. This grade denotes that a student has demonstrated a more-than-satisfactory understanding of the material being tested, and has exceeded expectations in the assignment. B: work that meets the basic requirements of the assignment. It denotes that the student has done satisfactory work on the assignment and meets the expectations of the course. B-: performance was less than satisfactory on an assignment, reflecting only moderate grasp of content and is below expectations.

5

Page 6: SW745: SOCIAL WORK ADMINISTRATION: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND ...

C: reflects a minimal grasp of the assignments, poor organization of ideas and/or several significant areas requiring improvement. C- to F: a failure to meet minimum standards, reflecting serious deficiencies in a student’s performance on the assignment.

Grades for each of the above factors are entered into a spread sheet with the values of A=12, A-=11, B+=10, B=9, B-=8, etc. Final grades use the same number equivalents. NOTE: Students may be asked to bring in documents (e.g., strategic plans) from their internships for analysis and discussion. Confidentiality will be observed. VI. COURSE TOPICS AND READINGS You are encouraged to bring to class copies of ALL readings done for a session to refer to during discussions and activities as needed. NOTE: BB = document is at the course Blackboard site. The ECR password is “worker.” NOTE: Prior to each session, students are expected to have prepared draft notes in response to the discussion questions included in the syllabus. Responses to these questions in class will be part of the participation grade. SESSION DATE TOPICS AND READINGS

MANAGEMENT AUDIT To complete the management audit data collection, gather necessary data from your field instructor or others at your internship. You and your field instructor should each do an audit independently, followed by a discussion. Indicate on the form the final ratings by yourself and your field instructor. NOTE: Put your scores and the field instructor scores on the same form. In other words, use only one copy of the form. Append this to your paper. The paper should be 10-13 pages in length. Use 1-2 paragraphs to provide an overview of the agency or program selected and your place within it. Mention the number of employees, annual budget, and years in existence. Attach an organization chart to the paper. Then, organize your paper based on the headings in the audit form. Comment on key strengths and weaknesses in each section. Note any prior or current efforts to address any of them. Use examples to illustrate particularly strong or weak areas. The use of course concepts will help demonstrate your ability to apply knowledge (citations are not necessary). In a final section, answer the following questions. What are your overall impressions? What are the areas of strength? What are the weak areas? How do things fit together (e.g., do any of the weak areas seem connected, or are there any that may affect each other?)? Are there serious misalignments or problems? What needs attention most urgently?

10

Page 11: SW745: SOCIAL WORK ADMINISTRATION: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND ...

ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE PLAN

Develop a plan for an organizational change initiative to address a weak area identified in the Management Audit. Principles of organizational change and leadership covered in readings and class should be used as appropriate. Citations of tactics, techniques, or change interventions should be used to support your plan. The paper should be 9-13 pages in length.

Begin with a section summarizing the organizational setting for the change plan and briefly describing the problem to be addressed and the change goal. Refer to your coverage of this in the Management Audit.

Complete out Exercise 8.1 (pp. 113-114 in Proehl). Include your scores in the Appendix.

Comment briefly on these scores: what are your current strengths and assets as a change agent, and what areas would you like to develop to become more skilled?

Then, apply The Eight-Step Change Management Model in Proehl (see below),

addressing all of the questions on p. 90, using the eight steps (see below) as section headings. As part of Step 1, use a Force Field Analysis (Proehl, pp. 123-124, 80-82; course reprint). Include this in the Appendix and comment upon it in the text of the paper.

1. Creating a sense of urgency: external forces, force field analysis, internal indicators, high performance standards, share data (e.g., management audit, employee survey)

2. Building the coalition for change: people with credibility, power, interest, informal leaders; formal group e.g., steering committee, task forces; cross-functional representation from all levels (“diagonal slice”); communication systems

3. Clarifying the change imperative: problems, visions, resources needed, written contract including outcomes, legitimacy, communicating the vision

4. Assessing the present: strengths, obstacles, organizational readiness 5. Developing a plan for change: strategies, processes, activities, short-term successes 6. Dealing with the human factors: communication; resistance; involvement of staff; new

skills, knowledge, & attitudes; incentives 7. Acting quickly and revising frequently: quick results, timetables, involvement,

monitoring, institutionalization 8. Evaluating and celebrating the change: assessing results, celebration, rewards

360-DEGREE FEEDBACK

This assignment is designed to enable you to assess your current leadership effectiveness as seen by yourself and a few people who know your work (at the internship or a current or past work setting). Please note that you will not be graded in any way on the substance of the feedback, but only on your thoroughness in collecting and analyzing data, summarizing results, connecting themes with course concepts and theories, and developing a viable action plan for further development. Also please note, for yourself and others, that forms should be filled out anonymously and returned to you for averaging of scores and analysis. Normally, such forms are sent directly to the consultant overseeing the process, but this is not possible here due to the uniqueness of the assignment. Encourage all respondents to check the appropriate boxes in a way that their handwriting will not be recognizable and to provide narrative comments in printed form. If anyone is at all uncomfortable with this process, do not include them. If you have serous problems gathering data, see the instructor as soon as the problem begins to develop. Let each potential respondent read these instructions and call or e-mail the course instructor with any questions or concerns. Indicate your data sources without identifying information, e.g., current or former field instructor, current or former supervisor or subordinates, current or former colleagues, etc. The Leadership Style Indicator: This is a 2-page form at the Electronic Course Reserve. Five copies are included. Fill out one on yourself. Choose potential respondents (you should have at least four respondents besides yourself). Usually this will be your field instructor and 3 or more people who know your work well. You may also have other students or colleagues at your internship or job fill them out. If you supervise people, or have in the past, ask your supervisees fill out a form. If you want to have more sources, make additional copies of the form for them. Distribute the copies of the form to respondents and agree upon a deadline for them to return them anonymously to you. When you give them the form, let them look at the definitions in the reprint ABehavioral Examples of LSI Adjectives@. Make copies of this for your respondents to use if you like. After the forms are returned, total the frequencies for scores of all respondents but yours and put these next to your own scores. Use "Leadership Style Indicator Description Summary" as the format. Put this summary in the Appendix. Summarize the written comments, grouping them by themes and looking for emphasis, patterns, or connections. Add your own observations related to the feedback if you like. Use the reprints "Getting the Most out of Your LSI Feedback" and APositive Leadership Style Characteristics@ to guide your discussion. National Network for Social Work Managers Leader and Manager Competency Model Comprehensive Listing: Download this from Blackboard. You only need to do Section II: Personal Skills Cluster, but the others are included because this is an excellent list of overall management competencies you may want to review, now or in the future. If you like, choose other competencies to include in this assessment. Have your field instructor rate you and rate yourself on each competency. You may recall that you and your field instructor filled out an assessment form using these competencies in the fall. It should be useful to consult this prior filling out the form for the 360 assessment. You can discuss in your paper any progress you have made, or areas for further development.

12

Page 13: SW745: SOCIAL WORK ADMINISTRATION: STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND ...

Personal Style Inventory: This will be scored and discussed in class. Include your results and analysis of your profile in this paper. Note how strengths and growth areas which emerged in this discussion compare with other pieces of the 360 degree feedback. Overall Analysis and Development Plan: Analyze the data using concepts and theories covered in class and readings (use citations with specific page numbers) and summarize the findings, noting strengths and opportunities for growth or new experiences. Refer to the results of the different pieces of data, and note any relationships, patterns, or connections. What new insights, if any, did you get from the results? How do your perceptions compare with other raters? Are there any important trends? Use specific examples to illustrate points as possible. You may also include any feedback or discussions you have had with your field instructor as data in this analysis and goal setting process. List three development goals for yourself as a leader and prepare a personal development plan (activities and timelines for the accomplishment of each goal). (Questions in the development plan are from executive View 360 [http://www.consultingtoolsusa.com/products/Executives.asp]). It is not necessary to explain in the paper the instruments or how they were administered. The paper should be 10-14 pages in length. You are strongly encouraged to visit the instructor to review the results if you have any questions or concerns regarding the meaning or implications of the data.
