“Leading & Influencing for Police Supervisors & Managers”
Today’s police supervisors and managers must effectively influence their officers so that the mission is accomplished. Leading & Influencing for Police Supervisors & Managers highlights leader behaviors as the key to whether or not leaders will be seen as trustworthy and competent. When that objective is met, individuals are more likely to follow their supervisor’s or manager’s direction willingly. This two day program, which happens to be Finest’s most requested program, engages participants to identify their own leader-development goals for the program and beyond. Delivered in a highly-interactive format, participants are left with an understanding of how to lead more effectively.
Specifically, participants will:
- Use tools to influence others towards organizational goals
- Structure ongoing communications to advance influence
- Implement a strategy to correct the performance of others through direct influence
This program can be offered for specific law enforcement agencies, through police academies for an integrated audience, or for individual attendees at Finest’s Training & Coaching Center.
