As a leader, when was the last time you seriously thought about the kind of influence you want to have on your people? With a new generation of employees entering the criminal justice field, leaders need to examine how effectively they influence and develop others. Employees today want to be engaged; expect to grow their knowledge, skills, and abilities; and work for a purpose.
To be effective, leaders must shift from the practice of simply managing to get work done to leading from a people-centered perspective. This webinar identifies how you can inspire people to achieve unexpected or remarkable results, both individually and as a team. You will learn about the four pillars of transformational leadership and how you can redefine the nature of leadership in the field of corrections.
Takeaways:
- Leaders are deeply respected and serve as powerful role models with high moral and ethical integrity.
- Leaders are mentors, coaches, or guides who listen and address each employee’s concerns and needs as best as possible.
- Leaders inspire and motivate employees to perform beyond expectations.
- Leaders support a growth mindset and stimulate employees’ creativity and innovation.
