Book Leadership  Institutions and Enforcement

Download or read book Leadership Institutions and Enforcement written by Slobodan Tomić and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an analysis of five anticorruption agencies (ACAs) from Serbia, Macedonia and Croatia, exploring the impact of organisational factors and leadership on their enforcement patterns during the first decade of the transitional reforms (2001-2012). Contrary to the conventional theory of agency insulation, the analysis reveals that the ACAs’ de facto autonomy was not crucially shaped by their statutory independence, but rather by the reputational management of their leaders. The book draws on a mixture of qualitative and quantitative analysis to document these reputational strategies and how they shaped the ACAs’ de facto autonomy. The findings also suggest that that the ACAs’ organisational model – defined by the delegated mandate and powers (preventative vs suppressive) – represented a key variable that mediated under which conditions high de facto autonomy can be achieved. The book offers contributions to the study of anticorruption policy and ethics regulation, as well as the wider inquiry into drivers of agency independence, particularly in transitional contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Leadership, Institutions and Enforcement provides a novel perspective on how to make anti-corruption agencies work. Bringing together the literature on regulation, independent agencies and anti-corruption, it convincingly explains variation in enforcement practices across Serbia, Croatia and Macedonia since the early 2000s. Tomic's book is a must-read for scholars and practitioners interested in anti-corruption and regulatory reform in new democracies." Jan-Hinrik Meyer-Sahling, University of Nottingham, UK "This is an innovative look at the workings of anti-corruption agencies in the former Yugoslavia. Tomic applies different theories of public management to investigate how such agencies will perform under different institutional contexts. The book makes an important contribution to political science by studying how government watchdogs perform in fledgling democracies and should be read by scholars and practitioners alike."

Download or read book Emotional Intelligence written by Iberkis Faltas and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The data shows 425,652 allegations of NYPD officers' inappropriate use of force, abuse of authority, discourtesy, use of offensive language, implicit and explicit racial bias, discrimination, and social stereotyping; 50.6 to 66 percent of the victims were blacks. Thirty- five percent of first-year college students can't handle the social and academic pressure and drop out of college within the first year. Organizations where employees are perceived to be disposable, and management seems to be careless to prevent employee's dissatisfaction and high turnover. In this book, I explore the history and development of emotional intelligence, where it came from, and how it is being used today. I also explore how we can use emotional intelligence to enhance our professional careers and understanding of others, focusing on the fields of law enforcement, education, management and leadership, and the differences between traditional management systems, contemporaneous generational workplaces, and the implementation of emotional intelligence practices.

Book Every Officer is a Leader

  • Author : Terry Anderson
  • Publisher : CRC Press
  • Release : 1999-09-28
  • ISBN : 9781574441185
  • Pages : 476 pages

Download or read book Every Officer is a Leader written by Terry Anderson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-09-28 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Officer is a Leader: Transforming Leadership in Police, Justice, and Public Safety, authored by leadership expert Terry Anderson and several well known leaders in the law enforcement and criminal justice profession, responds to the need for a comprehensive leadership development model for the education and training of police, justice and public safety supervisors, managers and front line officers. He examines how leadership development has a profound impact on the morale and performance of individual officers, teams, and organizations, illustrating in depth and detail how police and other justice and public safety leaders (in corrections, fire, customs, immigration, security, courts, etc.) can implement the Transforming Leadership process, skills, and principles. The recent focus (during the past 10 years) on community policing initiatives has made competency based leadership skills training essential for front line officers. The author's innovative contribution is a focus on the necessity to build "a leadership organization" before - and to an extent, while - you move ahead into building a "learning organization" that is responsive to community and internal organizational needs. The personal, team, and organization development skills discussed in this book are necessary pre-requisites to successful implementation of any neighborhood or community policing initiatives. Every Officer is a Leader: Transforming Leadership in Police, Justice, and Public Safety provides a model for integrating other models into a holistic leadership development framework. It furnishes a map for developing critical leadership skills with self-assessment, includes the developmental aspects of leadership expert Terry Anderson's previous book on Transforming Leadership, and applies them to law enforcement and criminal justice. Anderson and his contributing authors add clarity, perspective, and examples to show how individual leaders can develop themselves, and one another, into high-performance team leaders and officers who motivate others to respond to issues that affect the morale, health, and safety of the communities in which they serve. This new focus adds a perspective on security issues that affect police, justice and public safety organizations.

The ideal introduction to leadership concepts in modern-day emergency services agencies, Emergency Services Leadership: A Contemporary Approach is appropriate for EMS, fire services, law enforcement, emergency management, and military courses and is an ideal resource for department-specific training programs, especially for officer development. The authors weave personal experiences, interviews with current emergency services leaders, and leadership points to ponder throughout the chapters. End-of-chapter activities allow readers to explore their leadership capabilities and apply concepts presented in the text.
