Problems in human services organizations do not arrive in labeled packages with clear instructions on how to solve them. It is up to human services administrators to identify problems and strategies to address them. It is important to consider the steps or actions those human services administrators can take to address problems. It is also important to consider what an administrator can do to prevent problems from occurring initially.

For this Assignment, view the "Structural Framework: Authority and Supervision" video and select a problem in human services articulated by one of the human services administrators.

As you listen to the video, think about the responsibilities of human services administrators in solving problems. Consider how the administrators used supervision and/or authority to address the problem. Finally, consider whether the administrator might have prevented the problem.

· Briefly identify the human services administrator you selected from this week's video.

· Describe the problems associated with the administrator you selected.
