The Social Worker as Manager: A Practical Guide to Success  provides an understanding of the functions and responsibilities of managers at any level - from supervisor to executive director.  The seventh edition emphasizes how management is an integral part of social work practice and critical to the success of human service programs and services. This title is written for both students and social work practitioners. It describes those management activities that social workers in the public, private and non-profit sectors encounter and how they are shaped by the uniqueness of human service organizations. This edition is easy to read, conversational, and contains many new and revised examples, topics, and practical suggestions based on the experiences of the authors.
