Full Description
The blended Correctional Leadership Development (CLD) series consists of two 32 hour (4 days on-site) classroom sessions delivered approximately 3 - 5 months apart. Pre-session work involves participants completing several online instruments and reading assignments. This program is grounded in the evidence based Leadership Challenge Model© developed by James Kouzes and Barry Posner and addresses five leadership practices: (1) challenging the process, (2) inspiring a shared vision, (3) enabling others to act, (4) modeling the way, and (5) encouraging the heart. An on-line 360-degree feedback instrument assesses the participant’s behavior against these five leadership practices.
Other instruments, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, DiSC Productive Conflict™ and others assess psychological type, use of power and influencing strategies, and team strategies used by course participants. Participants will prepare a dynamic leadership development plan, participate in individual developmental coaching, and during intercession periods between phases undertake action-based learning projects focused on the relevant issues in their agencies with the intention of applying skills and strategies learned in the program to build organizational capacity and manage organizational change between sessions one and two. The blended CLD series simultaneously engages all levels of agency leadership through internal action-based learning strategies at the individual, team and agency levels.
