This book presents a breadth and depth of information about leading others and describes what leaders need to excel at and what up-and-coming leaders need to know as they prepare themselves for leadership positions. Taking a balanced approach to leadership allows correctional leaders to influence different people and diverse stakeholder groups in differing situations. Good leaders know when they need to manage rather than lead and how these two activities differ. “Leadership That is Transforming” discusses a key concept for correctional leaders. The intersection of transformational leadership and command-and-control organizational structure is discussed in depth, using the Army’s reliance on transformational leadership concepts as presented in one of their field manuals and through military doctrine. Correctional leaders who master the navigation of these seemingly contradictory concepts are those who are able to lead their organizations to higher performance, develop staff who are able to perform effectively in the complex correctional environment, and encourage innovation while managing risk. Two case studies are presented to show how leaders use collaboration to create buy-in and commitment to change; how important leadership is when changing the fundamental structure of an agency, moving from micromanaging to empowering staff; and how this changes outcomes, especially for the supervised population.
