Management is best that values people highest.
There is no substitute for effective leadership skills in managing people. The ideal leader is the man or woman who possesses both management expertise and people-centered values. Excellence cannot be achieved and sustained without people-centered leadership and a humanizing workplace. Social workers are especially sensitive to, and capable of, people-centered leadership. Social organizations will succeed in direct relation to their willingness and ability to empower people with the resources, the authority to lead and the ability to sensitively serve.
