LEADERSHIP!

Some leadership quotes for our leadership to ponder.

"A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops, while on the contrary an incapable leader can demoralize the best of troops."

"Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine."

"Leadership should be more participative than directive, more enabling than performing."

"Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it."

"Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning."

"Leaders don't force people to follow—they invite them on a journey."

"Leadership in today's world requires far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the conference table."

"People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. . . The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives."

"There is no contest between the company that buys the grudging compliance of its work force and the company that enjoys the enterprising participation of its employees."

"Lead and inspire people. Don't try to manage and manipulate people. Inventories can be managed but people must be lead. "

Great stuff, but there's just a teeeeeny problem. There are many bosses at TIAPD and very few leaders. It starts from the top down, not just at the PD but the organization as a whole.

The Avation Authority is a business first and foremost, run by BUSINESSMEN. In business, to get ahead you must ELIMINATE the competition. These "boses" are not worried about any career or promotion but their own.

When was the last time you saw the chief or assistant chief at a roll call discussing the direction of the agency or his plans for YOU within the organization???? When was the last time a supervisor asked you for your opinion on an issue or let you make the call ??? When was the last time you felt like a cop making a difference????

This job is about an easy paycheck. The mindset is that if you are being paid, your getting everything you deserve. If the agency throws you a bone, chances are they see you as a company man that can "get with the program". You will be required to promote their "ideas" of what police work is at the airport as dictated by the businessmen at the top. There are a few exceptions to this..very few.
