Introduction by Chief Percy Crutchfield
Overview
This module focuses on Action-Centered Leadership concepts that were developed by Dr. John Adair. Action-Centered Leadership was developed for the military, so it is easily adapted by law enforcement since most law enforcement agencies are based on a para-military structure. This course addresses the concept that leadership is a trainable skill and that there is a distinct difference in leadership and management.
