The New Superior – A Better Way to Be the One in Charge Workshop

  • October 31, 2022 //
  • 8:30 am -
  • 5:00 pm //
  • Baltimore 1-2

Description:

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.

 

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Know your 5 predominant strengths and their negative tendencies
  2. Recognize destructive managerial habits in yourself and others
  3. Gain strategies for incorporating coaching methods into your approach to leadership
  4. Understand the conflict-collaboration continuum
  5. Apply the ADAPT method for resolving disagreements
  6. Appreciate the impact of personality on leadership styles
  7. Develop a personal leadership process that keeps you focused on your goals
  8. Access an optional free coaching session during the symposium
  9. Interact with experienced laboratory administrators and forensic experts
  10. Learn common challenges faced by other workshop participants

 

Intended Audience:

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.
