    21P8015: Transformational Leadership: How to Lead Yourself, Your Team, and Your Organization (3-Part Series)
Part 2: Learning to Value Your Employees

As a leader, when was the last time you seriously thought about the kind of influence you want to have on your people? With a new generation of employees entering the criminal justice field, leaders need to examine how effectively they influence and develop others. Employees today want to be engaged; expect to grow their knowledge, skills, and abilities; and work for a purpose. To be effective, leaders must shift from the practice of simply managing to get work done to leading from a people-centered perspective. This webinar identifies how you can inspire people to achieve unexpected or remarkable results, both individually and as a team. You will learn about the four pillars of transformational leadership and how you can redefine the nature of leadership in the field of corrections.

Takeaways

Leaders are deeply respected and serve as powerful role models with high moral and ethical integrity.
	Leaders are mentors, coaches, or guides who listen and address each employee’s concerns and needs as best as possible.
	Leaders inspire and motivate employees to perform beyond expectations.
	Leaders support a growth mindset and stimulate employees’ creativity and innovation.Speakers

How do I participate effectively in a WebEx Event Center webinar?  How do I get ready?

For the best experience in your next NIC WebEx Event Center webinar, you’ll need a hands-free telephone, headset or earbuds, and an internet-enabled computer.  For optimum learning, be in a quiet place, free from distractions/interruptions, sight-and-sound separated from others, where you can concentrate on what is happening during the webinar.  A separate office space with a door to close is an ideal setting.  Connect to the webinar audio bridge via a hands-free telephone, using earbuds/headset connected to your phone/cell phone, so your hands are free to interact with your keyboard.

While tablets and smartphones are also compatible with WebEx Events Center, several of the features are limited, and most devices require the installation of the Cisco WebEx app.  Regardless of which device you plan to use, test its compatibility here.  The link provides a quick test, and we strongly encourage you to do this before the webinar.  If your browser does not pass the test, contact Webex Technical Support at 1-877-669-1782 and tell them you will be attending an NIC webinar on NIC’s Webex site at http://nicmeetings.webex.com.  They can help you troubleshoot connectivity issues.

**NIC strongly recommends consulting with your agency/local IT, as you may encounter pop-up blocking and/or firewall issues that block the NIC Webex webinar URL.**
