Content Summary
Students will study and critically analyse the processes, activities, behaviours and occupational skills in relation to the following areas: command, management, leadership, operations & strategy, multi status teams (warranted & non-warranted staff), employment law, grievance & discipline, event planning, leading/influencing partnerships, financial strategy, people strategy, performance management, leading public confidence, National Intelligence Model (NIM), Communication & Public Relations.
The module will allow students to demonstrate the ability to manage blended learning, and apply that learning to their workplace leadership and management roles. They will be equipped to critically analyse their present and future roles within public service, and develop the knowledge and skills that underpin the delivery of policing and build public confidence. Students will learn how to influence practice, service and policy in partnerships that are outside the boundaries of their formal managerial domain. The student will also reflectively examine their own skills, background and culture and analyse how that might influence their own approach to leadership and management. The student will be asked to develop personal learning and development strategies and goals that will push them beyond the cultural and personal boundaries they have identified.
