Granbury, TX 76048Rationale:
Employees cannot be fully informed as to their performance if it is not periodically assessed, both formally and informally. A major tenet of leadership is to provide productive feedback and direction to those performing work. In law enforcement, it is of utmost importance to monitor, assess, develop, reward, and correct deficiencies in work product. The failure to do so disempowers a law enforcement agency from holding its members accountable to its goals, objectives, and standards. This course is designed to inform supervisors and managers of the benefits of sound performance appraisal systems and how to fairly and accurately administer those systems.
Overview:This is a 12-hour course presented over 1 1/2 days. Lectures, discussions, case studies, and interactive demonstrations are used to instruct the course. It is intended for those who desire to establish or improve evaluation methodologies using sound and value-driven leadership principles, as well as supervisors who are responsible for administering appraisals.
