Located at opposite ends of the country, Northwest Center for Families (NCF) and Southeast Social Services (SSS) are local government agencies specializing in family, child, and school social work in rural areas. After attending a conference on performing social work in small communities, the directors of both organizations have returned with plans to address the issue of dual relationships, in which social workers relate to their clients on multiple levels—including social and professional. Each director takes a different approach to solving the problem.

NCF’s director sends out a memo to employees stressing that dual relationships are a conflict of interest prohibited by the organization. She states that a dual relationship could be grounds for employee termination and encourages employees to report any non-sanctioned interaction between social workers and their clients. The NCF director’s plan also includes the construction of a new employee lounge, with the understanding that employees will eat their lunches in the office, rather than eating in town.
The director of SSS holds a meeting with his staff to discuss the organization’s role and purpose in the community. He shares what he has learned at the conference: the potential to improve people’s lives outweighs any other social or professional interaction that could derail the organization’s purpose. The SSS director explains that he will make it his personal mission to solve the problem of dual relationships and asks employees for their input and participation in overcoming this obstacle. The leader explains all the employees must work together to reform the organization in order to better serve the community.

Bahrain is a small country in Arabian Gulf, with 1,234,596 inhabitants. Bahrainins divided into two groups Sunni approximately 50% and Shia 42% and the rest are residents from many countries. The Shia starts the demonstrations in 14 Feb 2011 after the succes of Tunisia demonstration, in the begining of the events the demonstration was peaceful, but after that they call to topple and drop the government and leaders in Bahrain. Iran was and still the major support for the demonstrations in Bahrain because it consider Bahrain one of province of Iran, which she tried many times to make troubles in Bahrain and sectarianism between Sunni and Shie people.

1. To determine the type of leadership practiced at NCF (assuming NCF refers to a specific organization), you can gather evidence by observing the leadership behaviors and practices within the organization. Look for signs of either transactional or transformational leadership.

For transactional leadership, consider the following indicators:
- Leaders focus on clearly defined tasks, goals, and objectives.
- There is an emphasis on rewards and punishments to motivate employees.
- The exchange of rewards and recognition occurs based on performance.
- The leaders maintain the status quo and prioritize stability.

For transformational leadership, consider the following indicators:
- Leaders inspire and motivate employees by offering a compelling vision for the organization's future.
- They encourage innovation, creative thinking, and personal growth among employees.
- Leaders foster trust and collaboration, empowering employees to take ownership of their work.
- The focus is on cultivating a positive organizational culture driven by shared values.

By observing the leadership practices, interactions, and communication style within NCF, you can determine which type of leadership is more prevalent. You may also consider seeking feedback from employees or conducting surveys to gain insights into their experiences with leadership.

2. Similarly, to determine the type of leadership practiced at SSS (assuming SSS refers to a specific organization), you can follow the same process of observation, assessing leadership behaviors, and gathering feedback in order to identify whether transactional or transformational leadership is practiced.

3. For a health care or human service organization, it is recommended to adopt a combination of both transactional and transformational leadership styles. Both styles can complement each other in different aspects of organizational management.

Transactional leadership can be useful for:
- Ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in daily operations.
- Setting clear goals, providing feedback, and establishing performance measures.
- Holding employees accountable for meeting specific targets and adhering to regulations and policies.
- Addressing immediate issues and challenges that require focus on tasks and outcomes.

Transformational leadership is valuable for:
- Inspiring and motivating employees across the organization to provide high-quality care and service.
- Encouraging innovation, critical thinking, and collaboration to drive continuous improvement.
- Creating a positive organizational culture that values learning, empathy, and adaptability.
- Developing a shared vision and empowering employees to contribute their unique skills and perspectives.

By combining elements of both transactional and transformational leadership, a health care or human service organization can achieve a balance between task-oriented efficiency and employee engagement, resulting in improved outcomes for both patients/clients and staff.
