Family Christian Association of America Head Start/Early Head Start has made many accomplishments in the communities they assist. Still, the need to prepare young children for school readiness has become more stringent due to COVID-19 and the social and economic restrictions. My role in facilitating the committee will be to encourage them to find information or best practices of other organizations to create a model or a benchmark of what we are trying to accomplish. As a human service leader, I will advise the planning committee to establish core competencies that will define or keep the objective or goal we are trying to achieve (Bryson, 2011, pp. 452 – 453). Establishing a collaboration with each other and other organizations by sharing ideas and giving and receiving assistance is very important to the organization and the communities we serve.
According to UNESCO, the origin of strategic planning was developed in the military. The business world adopted it in the 1960s, and it was derived in the public arena in the 1980s (UNESCO, 2010). As a human service leader, I noticed that both the business and public creating a strategic plan for an organization is paramount for the organization’s success. It allows the human service leader and those in the planning committee to focus on the purpose and mission of the organization and what direction they should take to bring the mission into realization. The human service leader may begin with a baseline to see what the organization has done in the past and what they are accomplishing currently. Doing this will give the team goals based on what they have done well and provide a guideline of the company’s future endeavors.
