 POLICE LEADERSHIP STYLES
 Irrespective of how you define the word leadership, you can’t deny that certain
individuals can greatly impact the lives of others based on their experience and in
sight. While we’re all living different timelines on the journey of life, we look to
leaders for guidance and advice. While some leaders seem like they were naturally
born that way, leadership skills can be learned. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t led
before. There are certain characteristics, traits, and skills that ultimately build the
most effective leaders.

Traits of Effective Leaders

1. Communication – is a core leadership function and a key characteristic of a good

leader. Effective communication and effective leadership are closely intertwined.
Leaders nee to be skilled communication in countless relationships at the
organizational level, in communities and groups, and sometimes on a global scale.
Traits of Effective Leaders

2. Integrity - in leaders refers to being honest, trustworthy, and reliable .

Leaders with integrity act in accordance with their words(i.e.. They practice
what they preach) and own up to their mistakes , as opposed to hiding them,
blaming their team , or making excuses. C.S Lewis said: “Integrity is doing
the right thing, even when no one is watching.”
Without integrity, no real success if possible. An honest leader succeeds when
they stick to their word, live by their core values, led by example , and
follow-through. Integrity is the cornerstone of all other leadership qualities.
There are many things to look in people with integrity ,

their own contributions

3. Accountability – occurs when individuals reliably deliver on their commitments,

showing others they can be trusted to do what they say they’ll do. Leader further
demonstrate accountability by taking responsibility for the outcomes of their actions
and decisions and successfully transforming effort into results.

For accountability, an effective leader needs to follow the advice of “Arnold Glasow”
when he said, “ A good leader takes little more than his share of the blame and little
less than his share of the credit.” A strong leader is accountable for the team’s
result, good or bad. They hold themselves and their employees accountable for their
actions, which creates a sense of responsibility among the team.
Traits of Effective Leaders
They give credit where credit is due, and take responsibility for blame when necessary. Being
accountable and leading by example is one of the quickest ways a leader can build trust with their
team.

4. Empathy. Empathy in leadership – to enhance engagement, many leaders are told they need to be
more empathetic. Empathy is the skill of understanding and recognizing others’ feelings and
perspectives. A true leader has enough open-mindedness to understand their followers’ motivations,
hopes, dreams, and problems so that they can forge a deep personal connection with them.

5. Humility – Humility in leadership feeds overall effectiveness.

Effectiveness leaders are willing to admit mistakes, share credit, and learn from others.
Traits of Effective Leaders

Humility is broadly defined as:

1. Self-awareness,
2. Appreciating others’ strength and contribution, and
3. Openness to new ideas and feedback regarding one’s performance.

When it comes to leadership , it can be tempting to become enamored with new title or status.

6. Resilience – A resilience leader is a person who sees failures as temporary setbacks they can
recover from quickly. They maintain a positive attitude and a strong sense of opportunity during
periods of turbulence. When faced with ambiguity , a resilient leader finds ways to move forward and
avoids getting stuck. The truth grit of a leader is not how they perform during good times, but how
they roll up their sleeves and produce when times get difficult.
Great leaders with positive attitudes lead by example and rally their team no matter the
circumstances. It’s this inherent positivity that helps react to situations with a calm , collected manner
and focus on solutions rather than on problems.
Resilience is a leadership traits that comes with experience.

7. Vision – Leadership vision is an essential means fro focusing attention on what matters most;
what you want to accomplish in your life and what kind of leader you wish to be. A useful
vision has to be rooted in your past, address the future, and deal with today’s. It represents who
you are and what you stand for.

True leader inspire loyalty, enthusiasm, and commitment, help remind everyone of the big picture
and challenge people to outdo themselves. Sharing this vision and compelling others to act is a secret
trait of successful leaders.
8. Influence – The ability to influence is an essential leadership skill. To influence is to have an
impact on the behaviors, attitudes, opinions and choices of others. A leader’s ability to have influence
with others is based on trust; in fact , our influence expands in proportion to the amount of trust that
exists in a relationship.

Leadership and influence are not interchangeable and respect has to be earned, not given.
Here are some things that leaders can do to increase their influence:

 Clearly state what they want

based on their own goals or outcomes, but on their exhibited behavior, life outlook, and attitude in any
given situation.

10. Delegation – The delegating leadership style is a style of leadership where a group leader assigns
projects or assignment to their employees and gives them free reign to work.

The employee(s) get to make all decisions and choices, which they are the responsible for.
A difficult transition for many leaders is shifting from doing to leading.

Delegation Process
 This requires leaders to shape others’ thought and ideas toward a common goals. They give their
team everything they need to be successful and get out of the way, nit directing their path , but
setting clear expectations and explaining where the finish line is.

easier to trust that leader, and people want to work with leaders they trust. When leaders exhibits
confidence, they typically: Are happy: They feel positive about their ability to lead people and deal with
