Using the following case study, assume that you are the director of the community mental health agency that requires your intervention to address the leadership challenge:

While walking into work one morning, you overheard two social workers gossiping about another colleague $($Mr$.$ Brown$).$ You heard them say that Mr$.$ Brown $($a social worker$)$ was engaged in a sexual relationship with his client $($Ms$.$ Ambertino$).$ Upon questioning the social workers, one of them shares that this has been going on for a while. When asked to elaborate, they state that they heard of the rumor from one of their clients who happened to be a friend of Ms$.$ Ambertino.

Please apply the leadership theories and concepts learned in class to respond to the following five questions within the context of this scenario:

Identify a theory of leadership, summarize it$,$ and explain how it would relate to the problem, the setting of the agency, or your proposed solution.

Identify a decision$-$making style you will incorporate in resolving the problem.

Design a plan of intervention with detailed steps of action and timelines that you would take to resolve the problem.

Identify any consequences of your action plan.

Identify the ethical and legal implications that you have to consider.
