Correctional Leadership Development
Completed on Jul. 20, 2010--Through the use of instrumentation, participant dialogue, strategic thinking, and experiential activities, participants identify their leadership strengths and create a personal leadership development plan.
Overview
This 70-hour program is based on the Leadership Challenge Model© developed by James Kouzes and Barry Posner and addresses five leadership practices: (1) challenging the process, (2) inspiring a shared vision, (3) enabling others to act, (4) modeling the way, and (5) encouraging the heart. A 360-degree feedback instrument assesses the participant’s behavior against these five leadership practices. Other instruments, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, the Profile of Organizational Influence Strategies®, and the Multi-Factor Leadership Questionnaire for Teams®, assess psychological type, power bases, and team strategies used by course participants.
An outdoor day experientially focuses on team efforts through an urban orienteering process. Through the use of instrumentation, participant dialogue, systems thinking, and experiential activities, participants identify their leadership strengths and create a personal leadership development plan.
Audience
Senior-level leaders, such as prison wardens and superintendents, jail administrators, and senior probation and parole supervisors. Deputies of these leaders will be considered if recommended by their chief executive officer.
