Phase III - Learn More
Leadership and Mastering Performance Management,
A Supervisory Mid-Management Seminar:
Phase III – Leading the Organization
Certainly, liability and the concern for managing liability have changed the complexion of law enforcement. Since the Monell decision in 1978, law enforcement has not been the same. Further, as much as we may discuss and yearn for the way things were, we cannot turn back. However, not all that has changed as a result of Monell has been destructive or detrimental. In fact, much good has come from the many changes that have taken place within law enforcement, government, and the insurance industry. While you may presently be searching to find some of that good, part of our role in this seminar is to focus not on our frustrations, (many of which we have little or no control over) but instead on the positive aspects of managing and leading liability reduction over which we do have control. We have far greater control over this system of liability than most of us realize, and better tools to manage and lead than ever before. The absolute need to enforce the basics is discussed. Numerous case studies are presented with student engagement. Finally, we will discuss the nobility of being Law Enforcement officer with a pointed discussion and reminder of the importance of what you do.
This one-day program will utilize concepts about leadership that were introduced in Phase I and Phase II. The objectives that we will be addressing during the course of this seminar will be accomplished while focusing attention on increasing the effectiveness of the supervisor as a leader and manager. These sessions are taught utilizing much of the current thought of adult education principles to accelerate learning. They utilize multi-media resources to intensify the learning experience and color classroom peripherals and handouts to reinforce learning points
