Leadership Perspectives

The selected agency for this paper is child welfare, which is a continuum of services that are designed in ensuring the safety of all children, and that of their families is successfully achieved. In essence, the agencies of child welfare project should offer full support and coordinate different services to ensure children are protected from neglecting and abuse. Substantially, the system of child welfare is not only about reducing the child abuse within communities, but also it is about the development of ways of maximizing the protection of such children globally (Chamberlain, 2016). Typically, leadership perspective is about change while on the other hand, advocacy perspective is about the influence on people to do things differently. Child welfare requires both advocacy and leadership perspective to accomplish the goal of protecting children and their families.

Sometimes, it is essential to utilize leadership perspective rather than advocacy, especially when the children welfare is the concern. This is because some people or parents might resist the back suppor, thereby ending up being difficult in influencing the way they raise their children. However, the leadership perspective is about change, and it can be applied whether such parents are interested or not. Besides, the use of advocacy perspective might also work in place of leadership such that parents can be successfully be influenced about how well they can raise their children to become essential elements to the societies rather than forcing the change to exist.
