FBI National Academy Leadership Class Experience Visits South Carolina

Have you hear or was the FBI National Academy one of the best experiences of your life? If you haven't gone to the FBI National Academy, would you want a chance to experience what their leadership classes were like? Officers from departments around South Carolina received that opportunity this past week when an actual retired FBI National Academy Leadership instructor visited their regional command college and provided the cutting edge leadership development training that you and your colleagues rave about.

In this completely interactive class that included zero power point presentations, participants learned about the latest neuroscience as it relates to leadership and motivation. We did some deep self-assessments learning more about ourselves, how we perceive ourselves as compared to others, and how our leadership style can be affected by our self-perception. We also discussed psychological safety, the fundamental attribution error, how to influence others either above you or below you in a command chain, and most importantly.........we had FUN doing so!

Look what people have said about this course:

“It is rare to go to a leadership class that truly makes me reconsider every aspect of my leadership, but this course not only did that, but the lessons I learned will be remembered for the rest of my life.” – West Yellowstone, MT

"I've been to a number of leadership courses in my life and this one is by far the best one I have ever been to." – Salem, OR

"Because of this course, I learned that I am not the leader I thought I was and I am better for that." – Georgetown, TX

"I've been to a number of leadership courses but I never had been to one where we focused on people and how both their mind and my mind works. I am going to try to bring this course to my department!" – Appleton, WI

"The fact that there were no power points in this class and everything was based in discussion led to incredible self-reflection." – Salem, OR

"Really liked how the class made me think of situations and how to possibly deal with them." – Waynesboro, GA

"This course was nothing like I had ever experienced before and I have been to a number of leadership courses." – Georgetown, TX

There are any number of courses geared towards law enforcement leadership, but how many of these courses can state that they are taught by an actual former leadership instructor at the FBI National Academy? This course isn't about fancy titles, special designations, or leadership levels. Rather, it is about helping you become an even better leader. After all, isn't that what your followers deserve?
