Beschreibung

Step-Up and Lead provides an in-depth analysis of of leadership principles in applying the four pillars of the Step-Up philosophy; improved: Service, Technology, Efficiency and Professionalism. It details the importance of assessing your personal status and establishing a vision; leading by example; the significance of group dynamics, workforce synergy and how to break out of the "comfort zone." It discusses servant leadership; addresses internal and external communications, to include various ways to directly or indirectly interact with the media; how to leverage transactional relationships; discusses the source of your "power" as a leader and obstacles you may face from local supervisors, council members, mayors, and county executives. It addresses how your geography and area priorities may impact your ability to enact change or achieve success; the importance of expanding your influence through organizational memberships; how to deal with your adversaries; why data-driven leadership is critical, and how to pursue the best ideas for your organization - no matter where those ideas originated. It is designed to provide state, local and federal law enforcement leadership with a roadmap of how to achieve success within their departments beyond what they would have previously dreamed of, how to develop initiatives that sell themselves; how to garner the support of the boards, councils, senior executives, elected officials you serve and organizations you are associated with; and how you can get the people you serve, the voters and constituents, on your side. Finally, loyalty, subterfuge and treachery will also be addressed. It is critical that you, have a true support network, a tight circle of confidants who you can bounce ideas off without the risk of that information being compromised - people that believe in you, know what you stand for, and who will provide you with honest feedback.
