Summary: | Seventeen contributions discuss quality, leadership, and organizational capacity in human services from the standpoint of personal outcomes, that is, from outcomes people expect as the result of service and support rather than traditional planning methodology. The book suggests that leadership is developed through a process of learning by doing, and that the qualities of vision and values coupled with flexible leadership and skillful managerial work are what produce success. Under discussion are issues of organization, management, quality, leadership, services, and performance. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
