The information content in this book is non-traditional in many respects but yet very familiar to some of the contemporary innovative leadership teachings. It was written to concisely address the issues and characteristics that confront mid-level police managers. Thus, there are references to traditional leadership concepts and practices that the author perceives as contemporary. However, this text has advanced beyond the traditional and ordinary, to introduce some psychological and managerial theories not typically applied to a secondary leader. The author has attempted to challenge the traditional concept that workers can be motivated through the efforts of a primary or secondary leader or other job inducements used by management. Readers of this text should perceive a growth in their overall leadership skills and a better awareness of how his or her own personality influences the work environment, as well as how the work atmosphere or environment affects the job performance of functional personnel.
