Course Object

First Line Supervisor promotions typically go to high performers, but “what got you here won’t get you there.” The promotion gives them a new job with increased responsibilities, but they’re doomed to fail without the proper skills required to lead and manage a team successfully. Fortunately, science has proven that leadership can be learned. That is exactly why the “Leadership” course was created-to help newly promoted supervisors successfully transition into their new role through a unique learning experience that combines classical organizational theory with cutting edge re-search and realistic training. The course culminates in a comprehensive, scenario-based leadership exercise that builds confidence and accelerates mastery of the subject matter by allowing learners to apply the concepts effectively to a variety of problems commonly faced by new supervisors. By the end of this course, learners will be able to avoid the growing number of pitfalls within the realm of public safety while confidently leading themselves, coaching their teams and becoming valuable Leader-Producers for their organizations
