SUMMARY:Every Officer a Leader - Monroe
DESCRIPTION:This is not just another leadership class. \nThis two-day program will call for personnel at every level to think more critically about their leadership role within their organization.  When someone decides to enter public safety\, they have decided they want to be leaders in their community.  The very nature of their profession makes them leaders; they deal with chaos and bring order and they go out in the community with the intent of making it a better place to work and raise a family. \nThis program is designed for police\, fire\, corrections\, and communications personnel at all levels including public safety leaders\, future leaders\, FTO’s\, future FTO’s\, Training Officers\, senior officers\, newly promoted supervisors\, future supervisors\, and up and coming personnel in agencies and organizations. \nThe course is taught by Chief (ret) Neal Rossow\, a 38-year law enforcement professional and a certified instructor.  Chief Rossow has a no-nonsense approach and keeps his classes lively\, open and engaging.  You are sure to take away many practical tools and a new perspective on leadership and your role in your organization. \nREGISTER: \nCall Eric at (810) 320-9517 or Email at eric@therossowgroup.com \nCall for more information and to learn what others have to say about the course.
