Leadership

Here are some leadership traits I found while searching. I believe them to be of some value. Considering the lack of them in my current situation. Read through them I hope they're enlightening. I specifically call your attention to #7. Because today I was struck with this particular one while at some training. A class role was being handed around and when it came to me to sign I noticed the Sheriff's name on the class role signed in his Sargeant's handwriting. Well the Sheriff failed to attend the training. Again later another role was handed around for the instructor. Again the Sheriff's name was on the role but this time his Capatain signed hi name for him because the Sargeant had left for one reason or another. I am clearly disgusted by this. I believe is show a complete abuse of power and by no means does it positively exemplify the position of these men. It is disheartening to think these are the men making the Law Enforcement decision for this county Well enjoy the read.... Nine Leadership Traits 1.
