How does leadership play a role in your internship? How do your co-workers or supervisor display leadership capabilities?
Leadership plays a major role in my internship. Being in law enforcement, following the chain of command is extremely important. Within my departments, the clear leadership is those of higher ranks that the lower ranks report too. The Captain oversees the sergeants and makes sure that they are performing their duties as well as provide any assistance they may need to properly perform their duties. The sergeants perform the same leadership duties in essence but have less individuals under their command.But even the lower level detectives must portray leadership in their duties. When working their cases they portray their leadership abilities through communicating with outside agencies such as the DA. They have to coordinate with suspects and witnesses to properly gather all the proper information to prosecute the case. Anyone within law enforcement is required to posses basic leadership skills to perform their duties properly.
Are you able to demonstrate any leadership skills?
I am able to show a small amount of leadership in the performance of my duties. When given an assignment, I sometimes have to work with others on completing the assignment. Communicating properly to others what I need from them and how they can help accomplish my assignment.
I enjoyed reading your blog and I too could relate on how you approach to demonstrate your leadership skills at work. Having someone to work with and how to communicate with that person to get a task completed, that takes the ability to listen, speak clearly and commit to the discussion and the result of it.
