4 Tips for New Police Leaders
As a new police leader, your initial goal is to build trust and respect with your team, rather than immediately asserting authority and outlining new visions. This involves an attitude of humility and a focus on learning. Get to know your team personally through interactions like making eye contact, remembering names, and engaging in meaningful conversations. Actively involve yourself in the team's activities to understand their perspectives, while being open about not having all the answers. Listening attentively to ideas, feedback, and concerns is crucial, responding positively and constructively. Remember, your early days are about creating a strong foundation of trust and respect, setting the stage for future collaborative success. For personalized guidance, consider a session with a Law Enforcement Performance Executive Coach.

Building a High Performer in your Agency
For a high-performing officer, blending dreams and goals is essential. Dreams serve as a guiding beacon, providing direction and motivation, while goals are practical tasks aimed at achieving these dreams. Dreams keep you passionate and engaged, with goals acting as stepping stones towards these aspirations. It's crucial to dare to dream big, as avoiding dreams can lead to failure. Integrating dreams and goals ensures that every action has a purpose, directed towards a common vision. Owning and communicating your dreams can open doors and garner support.
