Caring for the Organizational Spirit
Length of Seminar:
1Day
Instructor: William Westfall
Course Overview:
As leaders we must remind ourselves that contained within
every dilemma with which we are faced there is a two-pronged
question. One prong contains the managerial issues and the
second prong the leadership issues. The management prong
is doing the thing right, while the leadership prong is
doing the right thing. Leaders understand this and when
doing the right flies in the face of doing the right thing
they know how to put the right spin on this contention and
bring the situation to a successful conclusion. That is
what sets them apart. Officers are very adept at identifying
the managerial issues. We have not been taught how to identify
and consider the leadership issues. We must learn how. To
simply make a decision based on the managerial concerns
can rob an organization of spirit. Insurance companies that
have settled suits involving police officers, even knowing
the officers performed properly, have made a decision based
solely on the managerial considerations. They have ignored
the leadership issues that affect the spirit of the organization
and the officers to say nothing of the long term reputation
of their company. Identifying the managerial issues is easy.
Identifying the leadership issues is difficult. It takes
time and once identified the leadership issues often take
moral courage to pursue.
