Credible Leadership Module I (Online)
Credible Leadership I is the first leg of an educational journey designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to leadership, ethics, character, supervision, communication and self-development. It also serves as a complete review if you have participated in other leadership education programs. All law enforcement professionals must lead within their scope of responsibility and must be given the tools to understand what leadership looks like, feels like and sounds like. This course is designed to fill the void of leadership training which traditionally exists between entry level and mid-level supervision. Understand the importance of the true definition of policing. Learn how your actions and your organizational mission must align with that definition. This curriculum introduces the concept of Leading Down and Managing Up, through a detailed summary of the best-selling book, It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy, by Captain D. Michael Abrashoff. Take a comprehensive look at leadership and ethics. Identify the most common ethical dilemmas in law enforcement and how they destroy public trust and individual careers. As with all Credible Leadership Courses, video lectures are presented by select instructors and proven experts in the field of leadership and law enforcement.
