Forging New Leaders Mentor Course (3 day)
Introduction
This workshop is designed to provide organizations with a nested strategy of graduate- level educational opportunities for developing organization mentors assigned to guide FNL students. The FNL program is an individual and organizational investment strategy to develop results oriented, agile leaders with broad perspectives for leading people and change. The FNL mentor workshop is an added component to develop FNL students into transformational leaders. Transformational leaders are those people who will continuously improve their organization by exercising idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration among multi-sector groups and in multi-jurisdictional environments. They will role model the behaviors sought of each member of the organization and demonstrate through action the ability to lead change, lead people, drive results, exercise business acumen, and build coalitions with an enterprise-wide perspective.
The FNL Mentor program is designed to develop the leadership competencies—knowledge, skills and abilities—of the participants and the FNL students in the realm of leading self and teams. Our intent is to position FNL mentors with important transformational leadership research and practice information at the right time to support organizational objectives. The professional education will serve as an enabler for the FNL mentors to coach, with relevant guidance, in order to achieve greater understanding and performance by the FNL students.
We will accomplish this through the use of a theory-application-implication model of learning, which provides participants with experiences that increase self-awareness and understanding of individual strengths, leadership potential, team building and coaching. The graduate-level educational components are specific leadership modules synchronized to provide the best mix of materials to support the learning objectives.
FNL Mentor Outcomes
Mentoring skills: Develop individual and group interpersonal skills to improve and foster participation and interaction critical for achieving individual and group goals.
Self-Assessments and Group Culture: Conduct DiSC personality tests in order to indicate personality types and group culture.
Learn the art of people reading while Identifying individual and team behavioral strengths and areas for augmentation. Leverage DiSC people reading skills to improve communication, manage conflict, and build high performance teams. Additional outcomes include:

The Public Safety Leadership Academy (5 day)
This unique learning experience is designed to help mid and executive level public safety leaders to be more effective. During the engaging 5-day interactive workshop, our experienced team will address proven evidence-based leadership strategies and tools to enhance workforce engagement. Leading and influencing can be accomplished at all levels within any organization however, it is critical for mid and executive level leaders to realize how to tap into their full potential. Attendees will be expected to: participate in reflective dialogue; action planning; identify an organizational Leadership Challenge; and collaborate with classmates to help them problem solve during peer focused breakout sessions.
The training outline includes:
Day 1- Leading Self
Fundamental to successful development as a leader is an understanding of self and one’s own abilities. This includes understanding one’s personality, values, and preferences, while simultaneously recognizing one’s potential as a public safety agency member.
Day 2- Leading Others
Only after a person has become capable of leading themselves can they hope to lead others. Leadership, in its simplest terms, is influencing others to achieve organizational goals. Ideally, that impetus comes from the bottom as well as the top, as a motivated employee can sometimes lead their peers even more effectively than a manager. A positive attitude in the workplace is contagious.
Achieving the desired goal of leadership at all levels requires establishing good working relationships among peers, as well as with superiors, and subordinates. A healthy command climate generates leadership efforts from all members of the organization: supervisors, managers, mentors, team leaders, team members, and peers.
Day 3- Leading Change
Leadership requires innovative solutions and creativity. It is strengthened by a vision of the ideal state of the organization, a vision that must be compatible with its mission. Leaders share this vision with others, creating a wide sense of ownership and accountability. Effective leaders know their people and make every possible effort to find out their needs and to hear their voices. Leaders understand the importance of measuring and monitoring the degree to which their employee’s needs are met or exceeded and continually strive to improve that. Public Safety organizations and its members constantly face challenges in mission operations. To meet these challenges, leaders must apply performance competencies to their daily duties. Having these competencies enables each leader — and the Organization — to perform to the utmost in any situation.
Day 4- Leading the Organization
Leaders learn strategies for improving employee motivation and enhancing team dynamics by understanding the foundations of team-building and the five stages of team development (forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning) and the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team® (trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, results). They help prevent conflict by clarifying goals, roles and processes. When the inevitable conflict occurs, they deal with it by promoting collaboration between the disputing parties. Students will identify how they tend to respond to conflict (when your needs differ from those of another person), and what other conflict-handling options are available to them.
In order to lead, one must clearly communicate, but good communication requires listening as well as issuing clear directives. Successful leaders develop professional relationships and networks; they build consensus and share power and responsibility. They understand that to influence others they must show them respect, exhibiting fairness, recognition and even compassion. An experienced leader understands that the mission cannot be accomplished without teamwork, and that team building is critical to success.
Day 5- Ethical Leadership and Diversity Management
Leaders demonstrate belief in their own abilities and ideas; are self-motivated, results-oriented, and accountable for their performance; recognize personal strengths and weaknesses; emphasize personal character development; and use position and personal power appropriately. They understand the importance of effective policing in multi-cultural and diverse communities while managing organizational internal diversity challenges. Leaders personify the organizations core values and strive for personal conduct that exemplifies these values while maintaining compassion and understanding for others.
