Correctional Leadership Development
This 70-hour program is based on the Leadership Challenge Model developed by James Kouzes and Barry Posner.
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.
Objectives
The objective of this program is to address five leadership practices:
- Challenge the process,
- Inspire a shared vision,
- Enabled others to act,
- Model the way, and
- Encourage the heart.
A 360-degree feedback instrument assesses the participants behavior against these five leadership practices.
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.
