Case Study Bob Knowlton

When developing a group the norms of the group can ultimately determine the therapeutic outcome for the group (Yalom, 2005). Norms are formed by the leader’s behavior and the group’s expectations (Yalom, 2005). The norms are the standard social behavior for the group. This would include acceptable behavior and typical conduct of the group members.

1. There are a few boundary issues that need to be addressed. The social worker developed a personal relationship with Bea. Bea was in need of additional income, she wanted to find a female to rent her spare room to. The social worker had a friend, “a woman who might be interested” renting the room (Hoffman, & St. Clair, 2003, p. 46). She asked for permission to let her friend know of the room, asking to releasing Bea’s information was appropriate. The boundary issue is that the social worker should have not even offered her friend as an option to rent the room. This situation becomes a conflict of interest and cross the boundaries of social worker and client (NASW, 2008, p. 7). In addition to this situation the social worker admitted to having

On the morning of May 7th, 2000 the murder of Mary Ann Stephens occurred. She was a tourist to Jacksonville, Florida along with her husband. The two were staying at the Ramada Inn Hotel and had just came from breakfast when they were approached by a young black man who held them at gunpoint, took Mrs. Stephens' purse then proceeded to shoot her between the eyes. When the police first arrived, the elderly woman's body was several inches away from the path on which her and her husband were walking along to get back to their room. Her body was strewn across the grass, covered in blood with the bullet and it's wound being clearly visible to the naked eye. This case became controversial and it is believed that there was racial

1. In 1825, Philadelphians began debating whether to build a multi-million dollar canal through the Allegheny Mountains to connect the city to the markets in the Ohio River Valley. Who was Matthew Carey, and why did he push so hard for the canal?

One practitioner, Bruce, reflects on his predicament: “I work in an agency that is not providing the services agreed to in exchange for grant money. Its brochures advertise the services as available and the agency documentation shows the services as provided, so the grantor believes the services are in place. The staff doesn’t have the necessary resources, so those directly responsible for the care of the individuals who should be receiving the services are under a lot of stress. The consumers were promised something and are not getting it” (Kenyon, 1999, p. 213).

Scenario 2: Gary M. was arrested by the FBI when he showed up at a local mall to meet a "14 year old girl" for a date, which he arranged over the Internet.

One of the group norms that had already been established through cohesiveness was the group’s respect for each other. When a member is speaking, they let the member finish without being interrupted. This showed respect for each other’s opinions. Each time a member spoke, they were brief and to the point. In return, members of the group would agree, agree to disagree, and in some cases built on each other’s ideas. Weatherhead

Appleton, I noticed that he expects a lot out of everybody. He does not want to waste time. He tries to motivate us by making chemistry seem fun, but he is harsh and gets upset if one does not know something. Unlike both of the other leaders, he expects us to be on top of things. Dr. Wu would give us more freedom, and he would not get mad if there was something one did not understand, instead he would explain everything carefully until everybody got the concept and he would praise his students if their results were good. He was the leader who was the most open to questions compared to the other two leaders. Dr. Breland did almost nothing for the class. He was often unavailable and unclear. He was hardest professor to approach.

I am going to be talking about rules and norms. First I am going to talk about rules. The definition of a rule is an explicit, officially stated guideline that governs group functions and member behavior. There are many examples of rules in the movie, but I am going to talk about one particular incident. In beginning of movie when the students first arrive for detention, Principal Vernon sets down the rules, what he expects them to do, and to behave under his supervision. He does this to show that he is the one in charge and they must follow his rules or face further Saturdays of detention. Now, I will show you this clip.

However his ineffectiveness is evident from the fact that despite making plans about writing a proposal about "Custom Chip manufacturing documentation problem" he was unable to accomplish it and he forgot to acknowledge his subordinate Bill on his fifth anniversary in the company. He also forgot to fill in the appraisals sent in by the HR manager showing his lack of self organization. As Mary Parker Follet describes "The first essential of business success is the capacity of organized thinking" . So he was not an effective organizer. He was not able to convince his Boss to hire new employees showing his lack of persuasion and fear of rejection. He also thinks that his judgments are best ones and
