Military social workers are facing transformative times in that demand for military social work has increased and become more complex, challenging, and diverse due to the last 13 years of combat experiences. Developing military social work leaders must be deliberate, continuous, and progressive in order to impact and improve organizational performance in the healthcare delivery system. The transformational leadership model has been proven to be effective in both the military and social service organizations. The strength of this leadership model coincides well with the values of the social work profession. Incorporating leadership development in a clinical Master of Social Work program has the potential to improve service provision and offer strategies for military social workers to effectively manage the ongoing challenges in the field of social work.
军事社会工作者正面临变革时期，由于过去13年的战斗经历，对军事社会工作的需求增加，且变得更加复杂、具有挑战性和多样化。培养军事社会工作领导者必须深思熟虑、持续不断且循序渐进，以便在医疗服务体系中影响并改善组织绩效。变革型领导模式已被证明在军事和社会服务组织中均有效。这种领导模式的优势与社会工作专业的价值观高度契合。将领导力发展纳入社会工作硕士临床项目，有可能改善服务提供，并为军事社会工作者提供策略，以有效应对社会工作领域持续存在的挑战。
