1. Administrative Leader Interview and Report

(Possible 20 Points) / Related to Objectives 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7

This assignment provides you the opportunity to interview a human service executive director or director-level administrator. Select a leader of an agency or organization providing human services, a leader with three or more years experience, and a leader willing to assist you with this assignment. You might ask a field instructor or faculty member in your program for suggestions on possible interviewees. Before beginning the paper, obtain approval from the instructor regarding the administrator you have chosen. Finding a willing administrator can take a long time, so aim to complete this selection process no later than Unit 3. 

Once approved, arrange a meeting, and approach the interview as a researcher learning about administration. Meeting in person is preferred (when possible), but phone or video conferencing (such as Zoom, Teams, or Skype) is an acceptable alternative. Listed below are suggested interview questions. You can add others. Obtain the interviewee’s permission and record the interview (either audio only or video) so you can refer to it and, if requested, submit to the instructor. Because these files may be quite large, your instructor will let you know how to use Google Drive or other storage setup if your file is requested.
