Speaking to supervisors…what cultural environment do we create, facilitate, or allow on our shifts?  In this episode, host Aaron Dawson discussed fostering a cultural environment in which our officers are free to grow.  That means that they will make mistakes, but as long as they are minor mistakes as a result of the learning process…that’s growth.  Secondly, does the environment allow them the freedom to communicate with us?  Are we open and available for them to ask questions, share concerns, or share ideas?  If so, we will have a productive shift.  If not, we will have a problematic shift.  The choice is ours!
