Presentation Overview This presentation will provide listeners with the knowledge and personal skills necessary to continue to lead ethically and perform productively. Up-to-date information concerning leadership concepts in today's law enforcement workplace is presented. The core of this training centers around isolating important leadership skills and introducing the concept of strategic thinking. Included in the six hours allocated for this training is information regarding "a dozen tips": (1) the necessity for strategic leadership; (2) separating reflective and intuitive thinking in leadership responsibilities; (3) identifying the thirteen fatal enemies of leaders; (4) knowing the major reasons why decisions fail; (5) understanding content and bias when considering recommendations and making decisions; (6) the concept of ethics-based leadership; (7) The Harvard School of Business "decision traps"; (8) facilitative versus autocratic leadership styles; (9) the six major leadership theories; (10) dealing with leadership demands and deadlines; (11) the keys to working ethically and with integrity; and (12) motivating others to lead. As a bonus, learn eight fail-proof leadership coping techniques. Never before, in the history of law enforcement, has ethical behavior been so scrutinized. Law enforcement officers are finding themselves in court on a daily basis, justifying their orders and subsequent actions. An action that may take seconds to execute, will be scrutinized for years. Thus, strategic leadership, ethical behavior, and personal integrity are essential components of success in any profession; especially in law enforcement. Too many leaders are concerning themselves with "harmony", rather than demanding "ethical behavior" and the subsequent actions that reflect personal integrity. Understanding ethics creates a stronger leader while also providing information that allows one to become a better follower. It is an accepted fact that officers who cannot take orders from leaders, seldom become leaders. The greatest leaders in the world are, in actuality, servants to those who must follow them. Leaders are not "born". Leadership skills are learned. This presentation provides information on the psychology of thinking, major leadership theories, decision traps, why decisions fail, characteristics of successful leaders, a dozen fatal errors made be leaders, and more. Seven challenges of today's leaders are presented and, as a bonus, learn the secrets of motivating others. Remember, there can be no success with a successor. Emphasis is placed on "honoring your superiors, respecting each other, and serving the people of the United States". Current leadership principles are integrated throughout, together with issues and implications for the future of policing. Our problems stem not from "balancing our abilities" but rather "our abilities to balance work and life." It is time to ask the question: "Is my job a passion, or just a pension?" "Do I want to stay bitter, or get better?" The country depends on your ability to perform. Learn the skills of "self-motivation" and motivating others through your leadership. All of these topics and more will be incorporated into the 12 hours of the re-trainer, making it an information packed seminar that will benefit you in current and future assignments.
