Description

The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services is pleased to announce two opportunities to attend Command Presence training titled “Leading Without Rank: For Those Who Aren’t The Boss”.

Too many people – really good people – believe that you must have a formal authority position to be a leader in an organization. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, for organizations to truly be successful, leadership must be at all levels – including the frontline. Leading Without Rank was developed with just those people in mind.

This course will provide practical strategies that can be integrated into everyday life to improve individual and organizational activities.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Defining Authority and Leadership

• Remembering Your “Why”

• Leading Your Peers

• Leading Up in the Organization

• Difficult Conversations – Why, How, When

• Leading Yourself

• What You Leave Behind – Your Legacy

Who should attend?

This training is intended for sworn law enforcement officers who do not hold positions of rank.

Partial In-service Credit

Partial In-service Credit (PIC) for Virginia law enforcement officers is available (6.5 career development hours).

Travel, Lodging & Meals

Participants are responsible for their transportation and lodging arrangements and expenses.
