Assignment:
You know managing a business is different than a human services agency. The only thing I know though is a human services agency deals more with feelings and a business deals with people on another level.
1. What do you perceive as the main differences between managing a human services organization and managing a business?
2. Are the same skills, attitudes, and body of knowledge appropriate for each? If so, why are they appropriate? If not, why not?
3. Think about the human service organizations with which you are familiar, possibly including the ones at which you have done your field placement.
4. Do you feel the organization managed itself well? How might it improve its effectiveness? What managerial functions are performed most effectively?
