Challenging the Law Enforcement Organization

Walk the narrow road of leadership and become a law enforcement leader who makes an impact on the organizational culture. Law enforcement professionals face significant challenges in their operational and organizational roles. Unfortunately, one of the more pressing issues facing American policing is the failure of its supervisors and managers to consistently practice the recognized leadership principles they learn in management training programs. Most managers take the path of least resistance when dealing with problem employees or when communicating proactively with employees. These leadership failures have become a significant form of stress and frustration for the law enforcement culture. In this book, Jack E. Enter examines why these problems occur and clearly lays out practical methods for law enforcement managers to become effective leaders and to walk the narrow road of leadership excellence -- both at work and at home. - Back cover.
