More broadly, parole boards, releasing authorities, and their executives are charged with making organizational decisions that can affect— in a variety of ways—every citizen in their jurisdictions. In light of the broad public policy, criminal justice, and fiscal responsibilities that these key officials exercise, it is imperative that the leaders of parole organizations: 1. Have clarity of vision. They should be able to develop a clear sense of what their organization strives to accomplish and the values that drive its work. 2. Assess the organization’s current operating practices. They should be able to appreciate the organization’s current circumstances and its position relative to its goals. 3. Engage key partners. They should be able to develop and use the skills necessary to bring appropriate individuals together to define, assess, and prioritize critical issues. 4.Take strategic action. They should be able to plan and execute strategic actions that will allow the organization to advance toward its objectives. 5. Review information and manage for results. They must monitor and adjust activities consistent with the results of objective information, feedback, and evaluations. In Comprehensive Framework for Paroling Authorities in an Era of Evidence-Based Practices, author nancy Campbell (2008:6) makes an important observation: ... for a parole board to be effective, it is not enough for the members of the organization to learn new skills and/or to recognize the way they individually frame ideas about others or about issues. Rather, they must also change the way they view themselves and their individual roles within the organization and redefine the organization’s role and processes (emphasis in original). This paper discusses the five areas outlined above as they relate to parole boards and releasing authorities. It offers specific methods and techniques parole leaders can use to explore and transform their organization’s role and processes to better achieve their desired organizational goals. It is intended to help parole leaders hone their capacity to analyze and manage effectively the many and varied challenges they face.
