Both command and line-level personnel often remark that one of the most influential groups of people in an agency is the first-line supervisor.  They have the ability to influence how policies and procedures are perceived and applied. However, first-line supervisors also find themselves in the unenviable position of being sandwiched between the great expectations of leadership and perceptions of power and accountability from subordinates. As new leaders, they have to forge different relationships with individuals who used to be colleagues within an environment of limited authority. The first-line supervisor is an extremely challenging position. This presentation assists supervisors to gain expertise in certain leadership skills and to infuse those skills in a para-military organizational structure.

The objectives of this program include: Identifying the structural and personal challenges inherent in the position, Emphasizing the role of character in leadership, Examining the differences between ego and self-esteem, Understanding the role of popularity in leadership,and Having an opportunity to practice new skills through roleplay.
