The Organizationally Intelligent Leader: 10 Essential Principles of Implementation Leadership

SESSION INFO

Wednesday, August 31, 2022
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop

In today’s criminal justice environments effective leaders are those who not only embrace the sciences of effective risk and recidivism reduction, but also the science of effective implementation. These leaders are driven by the desire to change their organizations to authentically implement evidence-based practices (EBP) and justice reform initiatives. Initially, such implementation requires a certain set of leadership attitudes to drive change at the system level.  However, the commitment to EBP or reform is not enough to overcome the challenges of real-world human systems. In these less-forgiving environments, leaders are faced with critical human and systemic challenges that can often impede effective implementation. This provocative and introspective presentation will focus on the 10 Essential Principles of Implementation Leadership that are necessary to overcome these challenges and significantly impact organizational change. Attendees will be introduced to each of the ten laws, while learning how they directly contribute to successful implementation.
