2. Power Analysis
In this section, examine sources of power and how to leverage or apply these in interactions with other key players at your internship/work site? Use reflection on behaviors, what benefits does it yield? What could have been done differently? What was the impact of use power on others? This examination should discus a minimum of 2 sources of power. One caveat is important. Reframe from using clients, patients or consumers in the examination of powers. This analysis should focus on the ability to discern the applications in organizational and community contexts, where power is hopefully being used on behalf of clients.
3. Areas of Application
Choose 2 of the 3 areas to write about. (When writing about a particular area, please focus on only of the following: either social work in general; Community Organization, Planning and Administration concentration; Military Social Work and Veteran Services sub-concentration).
In each of the following areas, the first question is a content question in which will demonstrate knowledge of leadership.
