Professional leadership for social work practitioners and educators / Anna Fairtlough - First edition. - London ; New York : Routledge, 2017. - viii, 152 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Although professional leadership is one of the nine domains of the professional capability framework in England, sometimes leadership is assumed to be the prerogative of managers rather than the responsibility of all professional social workers. The participation of social workers and social work educators in shaping professional cultures within organisations through practice innovation, practitioner research and workforce development is thus crucial. Drawing on theories that challenge hierarchical concepts of leadership, this book will enable experienced social work practitioners and educators to develop their professional leadership to more expert levels.
