Responsive Leadership: Motivating for Participation

• Your Responsive Leadership in Social Services textbook addresses a

number of elements that have been identified through research as

having a significant impact on leadership and work environments.

These factors include trust, integrity, respect, empathy, and safety.

Your textbook also covers other key factors in motivation and

engagement, including needs, values, goals, and strengths.

• In your initial post, discuss how the factors of trust, integrity, respect,

empathy, and safety impact organizational needs, values, goals, and

strengths. Based on the scenario in the Riverbend City media

presentation in the Studies for this week, explain how internal

practices within the organization also influence relationships with

outside agencies. What are potential challenges to building

collaboration with external agencies if elements such as trust or

integrity are not present in the organization internally? Use course

reference material or other sources to support your discussion post.
