Transactional theories of leaders must be able to successfully express and implement visions that will enable growth to organizations and individuals. “Knowledge of the structures of the structures and processes f local government is necessary for citizens and professionals to choose wisely among the ways they may govern their communities, but it is not sufficient (Box, 2014, p 134).” As a community, it is our responsibility to be aware of the changes going on and being a part of decision making within the government that they are able to participate in. “Local control means that people in communities decide their futures relatively independently, putting outside pressures in perspective and fighting against closed or elitist political systems (Box, 2014, p 135).

Police leadership uses standardization and procedure as a way to create consistency and predict¬ability in law enforcement operations (Batts, Smoot, & Scrivner, 2012). The San Diego Police Department, like nearly all law enforcement agencies uses leadership models mimicking the United States military. Paramilitary organizations use highly structured framing to conduct business operations. The structural frame creates compartmentalized specialization, and predictable, uniform task performance desired by police executives. The tightly designed rank-and-file structure delineates locus power and control based on position (Bolman & Deal, 1991). Power rests at the top. Contained with this structure is top-down control of personnel,

The book The Heart of Change shows the practical side of the theories that are taught in the course textbook. It presents stories of successes and failures based in the application of concepts discussed in Organizational Behavior and Management and in class. Although we talked about several different concepts the ones that are evident in the examples in The Heart Of Change are the more progressive and individual centered approaches. The leadership characteristics that are important to successful change in an organization are those that are espoused in the transformational theory of management. It makes sense that ideals in line with the transformational management theory

When discussing leadership within the law enforcement profession is it vital to take the human factors into consideration. There are multiple human factors that the law enforcement leaders must take note of, such as, family issues, financial issues, stress, health, and morale. These human factors that play an important role for law enforcement in general can impact morale, officer safety and the public perception. When addressing the human factors, “Law enforcement leaders should challenge themselves and their employees to increase safety margins by focusing on human factors. By doing so, they will improve proactive communication at their level of influence and develop an organizational culture that values safety and wellness” (Bone, D., Normore,

“Lack of leadership competency is often the most critical obstacle to successful police projects” (Yang, 2012, p. 535).

When William Bratton was appointed police commissioner of New York City in 1994, crime rate was one of the highest and there were turf wars over jurisdiction. Even with all these drawbacks and pressure, including unchanged budget, Bratton made sure that the safest large city in United States was New York. This was not the first time that he has done something like this, as he has turned around 4 other law-enforcement agencies in the past with NYPD being the latest. Despite having to face challenges like limited resources, opposition from powerful people, demotivated staff etc., he excelled in record time. These turnarounds are called “Tipping Point Leadership” by the authors. This theory suggests that it wouldn’t take much time to make fundamental

This paper summarizes the article written by Cam Caldwell, Rolf D. Dixon, Larry A. Floyd, Joe Chaudoin, Johnathan Post, and Gaynor Cheokas regarding the need for a new type of leadership in today’s social work environment, defined as Transformative leadership.

All organizations, especially law enforcement agencies, require leadership. Maintaining a dependable leadership structure is key to the success of any organization. The philosophy of the modern style of police leadership involves a leader who is strong, competitive and unreceptive to change. Police leadership is based from an autocratic style which is founded on integrity and courage, embracing teamwork, involvement and shared leadership (Cordner & Scarborough, 2010). This style of leadership works well in an emergency situation in which rapid decision making and strict control is needed. The negative aspect to this style of leadership is the inability of the organization to function with the absence of leadership.
