Home » The New Superior – A Better Way to Be the One in Charge Workshop
It’s difficult working as a scientist in a law enforcement agency. Laboratory leaders find themselves pinched between the needs of their scientific personnel and the expectations of their police commanders. In this workshop, our facilitators will challenge what it means to be a superior and encourage participants to develop new attitudes and strategies for being more effective and trustworthy in how they lead and manage their people. Participants will undergo a Gallup Global Strengths assessment and learn how their individual strengths create both advantages and disadvantages in how they interact with a wide variety of people, including scientists, criminal justice professionals, and police commanders. Through expanded self-self awareness, our attendees will grow their effectiveness as leaders working in the complex arena where science meets the arbiters and enforcers of law.
Participants must be in positions of management or be interested in management as a possible career path. Required questionnaires and an assessment must be completed prior to the workshop.
