The Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute (SBSLI) is a
program designed to stimulate personal growth, leadership, and ethical
decision-making in California law enforcement front-line supervisors.
Designed and implemented in 1988 through the efforts of California
law enforcement professionals and top educators and trainers, the
SBSLI is an intense program based on experiential learning techniques.
Students are challenged to learn new ways to resolve issues through
group and individual work.
The curriculum takes students through an analysis of management
(planning, organizing, directing, etc.) and leadership (inspiring,
challenging, developing, etc.) and how each discipline compliments
the other. The course progresses from self-evaluation, to interpersonal
evaluation, to organizational relationships.
During the program, a typical successful student develops the ability
to:
- Correlate the relationship between personal and organizational
principles and values
- Exercise greater leadership in personal and professional activities
- Increase personal influence with individuals and groups to accomplish
organizational goals
- Analyze issues from multiple perspectives
- Develop increased self-confidence and confidence in the ability
of others
- Provide support and development for peers and subordinates
- Recognize and address areas for personal improvement
- Effectively integrate management skills and leadership qualities
A typical successful student is willing to learn, open to new ideas,
and able to engage in deep self-examination of values and beliefs.
The program is not a "how-to" course and should not be
viewed as a fix for problem individuals. The curriculum provides
a forum for personal growth and development of qualities necessary
for effective public safety leadership.
