Let me recommend what I think is a good leadership and police improvement book — the results of a lifetime of learning leading two police departments. The last one for over 20 years. It’s my new book,“Arrested Development: A Veteran Police Chief Sounds Off About Protest, Racism, Corruption and the Seven Steps Necessary to Improve Our Nation’s Police” (Amazon.com) and also visit my blog at http://improvingpolice.wordpress.com where I address these and other issues challenging our nation’s police.

I like Ron Heifetz’s Adaptive Leadership philosophy. Leaders mobilize people to move from an inadequate behavior to a new, adequate behavior. In policing, especially, adaptation is a constant. Leaders need to be observing, learning and intervening in a continuous cycle of motivating their personnel.

Another topic that gets too little mention is Followership. Leaders need to remember that following is a dynamic and active response, not a reactionary and passive one.

The First Follower is critical. Like the second person to stand when people are unsure if its right to give a standing ovation. The first one up usually stands along for send. Once the First Follower stands, the whole room follows.

I love that book by Stephen Covey. There are a lot of good points on information in that book if you want to be a successful leader. Does anyone know any other good books on leadership that you could recommend,
