title: Bringing it home: Australian social workers implement leadership program values.
abstract: Two senior social workers from major teaching hospitals in Adelaide, South Australia, were the first participants from Australia in Mount Sinai's leadership exchange program, from November 1, 1990 to January 31, 1992. The two participants were eager, excited, and strongly committed to participating fully in the project. They left Australia with the intent to bring back new skills, insights, and vision--for themselves, their hospitals, and the social work profession. They returned with advanced skills and insights and remarkably altered attitudes toward research, writing for publication, their relationship with academia, leadership and management, the development of innovative programs, and information systems. And, they returned with a clear international perspective of their profession, its uniqueness and its opportunities.
