Other Questions Flashcards
What type of leader are you?
I know it is cliche but transformational.
I actually reflected on this and sought to identify my leadership style and area to develop before i started acting. I’ve done it in each rank which i have found quite useful. Also did the colour personality test. Blue - optimistic, calm. I am not a leader who is the loudest or most charismatic, rather a quiet leader who inspires others through hard work and lead by example.
Transformational - i like to set goals to develop myself and those around me. I like to involve a team - task and finish groups. This is to generate some creativity.
I like to encourage my team - i break things down into manageable steps and objectives.
Proactive - intrusive - supportive.
Weakness - need order and system and I’m apparently unforgiving of people that don’t follow my structure.

This is beneficial for an LPA because during times of financial uncertainty, focus on performance and policing challenges - you need someone that will inspire and motivate and get the best out of people.
Experience
Joined as a 16 year old PCSO, moved into a PC in Hampshire IOW, worked in multiple LPAs across all 3 counties - neighbourhood policing, response to PVP, CID and the ROCU. Negotiator. Having this experience helps an LPA because it means that i am rounded - it enables me to identify risk and then manage it effectively.
- Passion to help public and care about the people i work with.
Masters - pHD - love policing.

What are your areas for development and how are you working on these?
Quite demanding… apparently a weakness of a blue and transformational leader.
- considering others work different speeds, different needs, need to be careful of pushing people too hard.
Switch off.
- turn my phone off, actually have some leave and rest days.
Take too much on.
