Topic: Finding the Leader in You
True leaders are an essential ingredient of any organizational success formula. Yet the commitment to developing a leadership culture is too often ignored, especially in the bureaucracies found in government entities. Finding the Leader in You focuses exactly on that; learning and developing proven leadership skills and then applying them in order to propel your organization towards Mission success.
Topic: Advanced Leadership for a "Police Reform" Era
Police work is changing and the demands on law enforcement leaders and their officers are increasingly challenging and complex. How can you, as a police supervisor, refocus on the "new era" of policing while remembering the core reason most of us started: To serve, help, and protect? In this extremely timely, positively focused course, Chief Johnson will share practical strategies that will strengthen your leadership abilities, enhance departmental morale and arm you with a plan for professional and personal excellence in an atmosphere that's increasingly focused on job survival.
