Training
Walking the Narrow Road of Leadership: Leadership Principles for Law Enforcement Personnel and Managers

MARC offices, 600 Broadway, Kansas City, MO 64105

The law enforcement profession continues to face significant challenges in its operational and organizational roles. Unfortunately, one of the more pressing issues facing law enforcement agencies may be the failure of its supervisors and managers to consistently practice recognized leadership principles. Most supervisors and managers seem to take the “path of least resistance” when dealing with problem employees or in communicating with employees. This “wide road of mediocrity” is believed to be the primary path of most managers and these leadership failures have become a significant form of stress and frustration for the law enforcement culture.

This program examines why these problems occur, and the practical methods that managers and supervisors can use to become effective leaders and walk the narrow road of leadership excellence – both at work and at home.
