Part A The article associated with this section talked at length about police leadership and developing learning organizations. What challenges with creating a learning organization did the authors discuss specifically with regard to law enforcement organizations? Is it feasible for law enforcement agencies to operate as such, or are they better with more of a hierarchical, paramilitary structure in that regard? Part B Have you ever worked for an excellent leader who helped you to grow professionally, personally, or academically? What did they do to foster your growth in these areas? Conversely, have you ever worked for a poor leader? Sometimes having an example of what not to do is beneficial for a person to learn and apply to future leadership positions. What did you learn from the poor managers/leaders, etc?
