Strategic Command Course 2012

General References

Introduction

Please find enclosed three comprehensive reading lists within which will be material that

you may find of use when preparing for the Strategic Command Course 2011 and beyond. This is NOT in any way a compulsory reading list, but rather an outline of articles, books and web sites that have been developed over the last few years and have

been of value to past participants. These references cover a number of topic areas that will be addressed in some format during the SCC and therefore you may find some

comfort in having further knowledge or understanding of these areas. Please look at the list and decide what areas are of interest to you: these may be

focused on your areas of strength; alternatively you may need to close a ‘knowledge gap’ prior to your entry to executive level within policing. This is a period of opportunity

for you when you do not have to deal with the daily challenges of the workplace – please use that time well by appropriately preparing for the course. Reading is part of that preparation – so enjoy this period of learning and reflection. At Appendix A you will find

the latest publications as listed by the National Police Library at Bramshill.

Please remember to only read those items that are of personal interest to you.

Title New public leadership challenge.

Authors BROOKES, Stephen (ed); GRINT, Keith (ed)

Source Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2010 350p., bibliogs.

Notes

(ABS) Public leadership is a form of collective leadership in which public bodies

collaborate in delivering improved public value, which is demonstrated by sustained

social, environmental and economic well-being. This book contains 21 chapters, by

various authors. The editor's introductory Chapter 1 discusses what public leadership

means in the context of the reform of public services in the UK; it suggests that it is time

to move beyond new public management (NPM) to new public leadership (NPL). Part 1

contains six chapters on public sector reform and the impact on leadership. Five of these

relate to the specific areas of central government, health care, schools, local

government, and defence (the MOD); the other chapter is 'Policing, New Public

Management and legitimacy', by HOUGH Mike. Part 2 addresses essential features of

public leadership, in six chapters: what do we expect of public leaders, political

leadership, community leadership, wicked problems, knowledge and capabilities for

public sector leadership, and the challenge of change. Part 3 discusses public leadership

in action. It has four chapters: Testing adaptive leadership in practice: the policing of the

Drumcree demonstrations in Northern Ireland, by TURBITT Irwin and BENINGTON

John; leadership of change narratives, from four mental health service managers;

Section 17 Crime and Disorder Act 1998: a missed opportunity for public leadership? by

MOSS Kate; and on partnership working. Part 4 is about outlining a public leadership

approach, in three chapters: The challenge for public leadership arising from mixed

modes of governance; The challenge of leadership for the third sector; and, Can public

leadership be evaluated? (using realist evaluation) by TILLEY Nick. Chapter 21 is the

epilogue and concluding overview, by the first editor.

http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?issn=0019-7858&volume=42&issue=6



suited to the new order that is emerging as the economic recession recedes: it terms this

approach 'sustainable leadership'. The article challenges the prevailing notion that

leadership is synonymous with being in control of an organization, and also the belief

that leadership development is primarily concerned with modifying behaviour in line

with a set of criteria for success. The article defines practices that leaders use to retain a

sense of balance and resourcefulness, along with those associated with pursuing work

irresponsibly. These form the basis of sustainable leadership, which is predicated on the

integration of three core individual processes and their engagement with the culture of

the organization.

Title Unleashing the power of unconditional respect: transforming law enforcement and

police training.

Authors COLWELL, Jack L; HUTH, Charles

Source Boca Raton, Florida: CRC Press, 2010 154p., figs., bibliog.

Notes

(ABS) This book advocates an anima (inner self) for law enforcement officers, which is

rooted in personal integrity and supported by courage, and manifests itself as

unconditional respect for all people. It argues that this anima enhances personal safety at

work and is transferable to any social environment. However, this anima also requires

relentless personal discipline to internalize and actualize. The book discusses personal

integrity as the foundation for unconditional respect; explains the tactical benefits of

unconditional respect and the interpersonal benefits, related to listening, anima-based

leadership and encounters and interactions with citizens; discusses how unconditional

respect affects police interaction with communities and builds high character; and deals

with animating the culture of the organization towards unconditional respect.

Notes (ABS) Knowledge management (KM) is not currently a core competency within the police

service, although the creation and sharing of knowledge has always been core to policing.

http://www.metapress.com/content/x6t017867969/?p=7dcc01cbceaf496f850e519d8b2af7d5&pi=0



This article argues that KM offers the police service a mechanism through which change can

be achieved. It proposes that by employing KM frameworks that separate knowledge

creation from knowledge transfer, blockages rooted in culture, structure and competencies

become evident, and police leaders can circumvent blockages and mobilise change in their

various functions.

(ABS) The UK is in a period of economic crisis, political scandals and other problems,

such as high-profile failings in parts of the health-care system. In this context, this

article discusses the need for a new, or re-discovered, form of leadership which taps into

spirituality and the motivating force for common purpose within individuals and groups,

working with communities, developing a professional police officer, internal politics,

external politics and relationships with other partners, and the future of American

policing. The book ends with ten recommendations for police chiefs in the USA.

phenomenon, might be understood. It employs ideas primarily drawn from the

Continental philosophy of phenomenology, although readers do not need to have

philosophical training in order to follow the argument. The book addresses a range of

questions, including: why are there so many different theories of leadership?, what goes

on in the relationship between leaders and followers?, what is charismatic leadership?,

what is so important about the 'vision-thing'?, and, how do leaders lead change?

Title Why 'leadership' is so difficult - and elusive.

Source International Journal of Leadership in Public Services, Vol. 6 no. 1, February 2010, p.18-24.


www.metapress.com/content/x6t017867969/?p=7dcc01cbceaf496f850e519d8b2af7d5&pi=0

Notes (ABS) This article starts by tracing the rise of modern management (and the role of Peter

Drucker in this). It argues that, as the focus on 'leadership' has intensified over recent years,

http://www.metapress.com/content/x6t017867969/?p=7dcc01cbceaf496f850e519d8b2af7d5&pi=0



the quality of management in both public and private sectors has diminished. It suggests that

these two phenomena may be linked: the capacity to run things properly and to manage

people in a dignified and productive way has been trammelled by an over-emphasis on the

behavioural, and a consequent under-emphasis on authority, role clarity and task. The

managerial vacuum thus created is being filled, imperfectly, by executive coaching and a

range of other 'learning and development' strategems. In the real world of complex systems,

management and leadership are merely opposite sides of the same coin.

2010 CPHR Thought Leadership Series 2010-01. 12p., fig.

Link www.lums.lancs.ac.uk/files/TLseries.pdf

Notes

(ABS) This paper argues that, whilst there is now awareness amongst senior leaders of

the desirability of incorporating emotional intelligence (EI) into their repertoire, this

awareness is often a product of dysfunction. Senior leaders think about EI as it applies

to them as leaders in transactional terms, as a tool to call upon in certain situations. It is

a compartmentalized concept rather than the driver of their emotional, thinking and

behavioural responses. There is a possibility for executive coaching to counteract this,

but inconsistent depth and quality of delivery, plus an absence of HR intervention in

setting up and evaluating the coaching contracts, means the opportunity is often

squandered. There can be a price to pay for this, and this kind of leadership dynamic can

lead top teams and senior leaders to develop illusions of control over their business

models. For reflection and coaching to have long-term impact, there has to be some kind

of underlying transformation. Leaders need to learn how to move smoothly between

various opposing styles: an 'inside out' approach to EI. The article lays out some of the

risks associated with not developing this approach, and articulates what is involved in

developing a more self aware, dual-geared, approach to leadership.

Notes

(ABS) This book discusses the views and aspirations of 'emerging leaders' ie talented

young professional people who have been identified as having leadership potential. The

book is based on the authors' work on the Emerging Leadership Program at the Center

for Collaborative Leadership, University of Massachusetts Boston, which provides

focused leadership development. It includes many comments from interviews and focus

groups held with Program alumni and extracts from essays written by 20 of these

styles as leaders; what qualities and skills make effective leaders; progress and barriers

for women in leadership; cultural differences, diversity and inclusion (a high proportion

of Program participants are from racial or ethnic minorities or have countries other than

the USA in their heritage); the views of Generation X about organizational challenges,

including corporate social responsibility, and also noting issues related to their personal

Title Organizational culture and leadership. (4th ed.)

Authors SCHEIN, Edgar H

Source San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2010 436p., bibliog.

Notes (ABS) This book explores and demonstrates how leaders create culture, how cultures



interact, and how culture defines and creates leaders. Part 1 concerns organizational

cultures: the concepts and definitions, and levels of culture (macrocultures, subcultures

and microcultures). This part includes case studies of Digital Equipment Corporation

(DEC) and Ciba-Geigy, which are also referred to elsewhere in the book. Part 2

discusses the major dimensions along which culture can be analysed, from a functional

perspective. It draws on social psychology and group dynamics. Part 3 addresses the

role of leadership in building culture and in embedding and transmitting culture. It

argues that the leader must understand and manage culture, which evolves with the

organization and changes with the different stages of the organization's growth. Part 4

discusses how leaders can manage culture change; it includes a chapter of case

examples. Part 5 discusses new roles in culture management for leaders and leadership,

in a world that is becoming more complex, networked and multicultural.

Notes

(ABS) This article reports on an Ashridge Business School study of the leadership

behaviours required by an organisation that is following one of the three value

disciplines of product leadership, customer intimacy and operational excellence

(identified by Treacy and Wiersema, 1993). These value disciplines may require

different leadership traits: the study explored the differences between expectation (the

outsider viewpoint) and reality (the insider viewpoint) of these traits, for each of the

value disciplines, drawing on companies in the UK and Singapore. It also discusses the

perceptions of the abilities of leaders in the disciplines, in terms of being

'winspirational', 'teamy' and 'procedural'.

Notes

(ABS) This book discusses knowledge management in the investigation of police

officers who commit crime and complaints against the police. It draws examples from

police in various countries. Knowledge management is defined to encompass a range of

practices used in an organization to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable

adoption of insights and experiences; knowledge is information combined with

interpretation, reflection and context. The book's 10 chapters are: complaints and crime,

theories of police crime, the case of police corruption, knowledge management in

policing, law enforcement, police management, police investigations (which discusses

detectives' investigative skills generally, as well as relating to complaints), knowledge

management technology, police performance management, and the Norwegian Bureau

for Investigation of Police Affairs (the independent complaints investigation body). The

appendix provides a survey instrument for police integrity, noting 11 scenarios and

asking whether the respondent would report them.

Title Security and environmental change.

Authors DALBY, Simon

Source Cambridge: Polity Press, 2009 197p., bibliog.

Notes

(ABS) This is an account of the challenges now faced in responding to environmental

change. It argues that to understand climate change, it is necessary to look back at how

ecological change is tied to the expansion of the world economic system. As the global

urban system changes on a local and global scale, the world's population becomes

vulnerable in new ways. The first chapter looks back to past thinking about fears related

to environmental matters; the second is about the questions of how security should and

might be reformulated since the nuclear stand-off between the superpowers ended.

Chapter 3 considers environmental history, exploring the context of the collapse of

earlier civilisations and the connections between human activity and environmental

change. Chapter 4 deals in more detail with ecological science and current earth-system

science investigations. Chapter 5 assumes the theme of a new geological period, 'the

Anthropocene', where the sheer scale of human activities means that we are living in

increasingly artificial circumstances, in a biosphere that we are changing. Finally, in

Chapter 6, it is suggested that preparations to deal with environmental disruptions can

be a constructive initiative in global security, that can promote co-operation rather than

conflict in the face of disaster, while simultaneously reducing the impact of human

activity on the biosphere. The conclusion is that earlier concerns about scarcity are of

much less relevance than the need to think and plan for security in ecological terms in

the Anthropocene.

Notes

(ABS) This book discusses strategic foresight and scenario development in meeting the

challenges of the future. Strategic foresight involves having a view of what can be done

by the organization to influence the future positively. Scenarios are stories used to

imagine what can happen, so that this can be influenced; this book argues that they can

play a role in generating strategies and also in testing those strategies. The book starts

by reviewing classic narrative genres (scenarios of varying optimism) and challenges

faced by businesses (such as restructuring, globalization). It then discusses how to to

think systematically about scenarios, and provides examples. In three chapters, it covers

the challenges of population and security, politics and macroeconomics, and energy and

the environment. The final chapter examines the role of technology, and whether it can

enable companies to deal with the challenges.

318p., fbibliog.

Notes

(ABS) This book explores one of the greatest contemporary changes in police

management: the raising of finance and obtaining of assistance through formal

arrangements with businesses, other public agencies, community organizations and

individuals. This practice is now found, to varying degrees, in many countries; the book

draws on examples particularly from Australia, the United Kingdom and the USA. The

book explores this 'resource enhancement', addressing the questions of who pays and

who benefits. It considers each of the three basic relational modes of exchange:

coercion, sale and gift. The chapter on coercion concerns ways in which the state forces

citizens and enterprises to assist in law enforcement. There are two chapters on sale, to

cover both buying, in terms of shopping and of police as purchasers of information, and

selling, of policing services (user-pays) or the police brand. The chapter on gift concerns

both the private sponsorship of public police and the use of people as a policing resource

(volunteers, programmes with businesses). One further chapter discusses the ambiguity

inherent in exchanges involving public police, such as commerce masquerading as gift

(this chapter was originally published as an article in the International Journal of the

Sociology of Law, 2007, 35(1): 18-28). The conclusion reviews the implications of this

research.

www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~db=all~content=g919822044

Notes

(ABS) Understandings of police culture rely heavily on ethnographic studies conducted

several decades ago; these studies identified recurring themes within police dispositions

and practices, over time and space. However, there have been important developments

within policing contexts over the past twenty years, particularly the broad shift towards

community policing, and some of these could be expected to have transformed the

cultural ethos that has long underpinned the police identity. This article draws upon the

author's recent ethnographic research, conducted in one English police force, to explore

how much of the classic characteristics of police culture have survived the period of

transition. It shows that the underlying world-view of officers displays remarkable

continuity with older patterns; and argues that police culture endures because the basic

pressures associated with the police role have not been removed. The article therefore

questions the increasingly accepted view that orthodox conceptions of police culture no

longer make sense.

and its consequences (considered through a systemic approach); climate change and its

global security implications (addressed by scenario planning); and gang crime in

London (the need for a holistic approach). The final chapter suggests that policymakers'

role should be, not of architects controlling a system, but of gardeners in a shifting

Title Security and environmental change.

Authors DALBY, Simon

Source Cambridge: Polity Press, 2009 197p., bibliog.

Notes

(ABS) This is an account of the challenges now faced in responding to environmental

change. It argues that to understand climate change, it is necessary to look back at how

ecological change is tied to the expansion of the world economic system. As the global

urban system changes on a local and global scale, the world's population becomes

vulnerable in new ways. The first chapter looks back to past thinking about fears related

to environmental matters; the second is about the questions of how security should and

might be reformulated since the nuclear stand-off between the superpowers ended.

Chapter 3 considers environmental history, exploring the context of the collapse of

earlier civilisations and the connections between human activity and environmental

change. Chapter 4 deals in more detail with ecological science and current earth-system

science investigations. Chapter 5 assumes the theme of a new geological period, 'the

Anthropocene', where the sheer scale of human activities means that we are living in

increasingly artificial circumstances, in a biosphere that we are changing. Finally, in

Chapter 6, it is suggested that preparations to deal with environmental disruptions can

be a constructive initiative in global security, that can promote co-operation rather than

conflict in the face of disaster, while simultaneously reducing the impact of human

activity on the biosphere. The conclusion is that earlier concerns about scarcity are of

Title Leader's guide to leveraging diversity: strategic learning capabilities for

breakthrough performance.

Authors MALTBIA, Terrence E; POWER, Anne T

Source Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann, 2009 272p., figs., bibliogs.

Notes

(ABS) This book presents a leadership framework for leveraging diversity in

organizations. The framework helps organizational leaders to identify and build the

strategic learning capabilities necessary for leveraging performance breakthroughs while

leveraging diversity in the process. The book draws on the lessons learned from the

experiences of 20 leaders who guided diversity strategies inside and outside of

organizations. The four sections of the book are: setting the stage for leadership through

leveraging diversity; strategic stories: a lever for individual and organizational cultural

change; human interaction: leveraging diversity at its core; and leveraging diversity

begins and ends with leadership (this section is very brief).

Title Arrested development: unlocking change in the police service.

Authors MUIR, Rick

Source London: Institute for Public Policy Research, 2009 72p., tabs., bibliog.

Notes

(ABS) This report argues for radical reform of the police service in England and Wales,

identifying four priority areas: changes to police recruitment, training, pay and

management; integration of information systems across forces; greater citizen focus, to

improve relations between police and public; and a less bureaucratic and risk-averse

organisational culture. In order for such reforms to be implemented, however,

transformation of police governance will be required, to produce a system that is more

coherent, with greater local autonomy and central control only of matters which require

national co-ordination. These proposals include an increased role for the National

Policing Improvement Agency. This report is produced as part of the ippr's 'Future of

policing' programme.

launched on 2 December 2009. It is positioned at a strategic level and is intended to be a

tool for continuous improvement. This pamphlet contains two items: an overview of the

Standard and the framework of the Standard. The framework is arranged in three

sections: operational delivery, people and culture, and organisational processes. Under

these, there are, respectively, 11, six and five criteria, each of which is shown at three

stages, through which forces must demonstrate progress: the baseline, developing

practice and effective practice.

Title Police corruption: deviance, accountability and reform in policing.

Authors PUNCH, Maurice

Source Cullompton, Devon: Willan Publishing, 2009 281p., bibliog.

Notes

(ABS) This book explores the discrepancy between police as law enforcers and as

lawbreakers, and why officers bend the rules and commit crimes. It takes a broad view

of corruption, defining this, essentially, as abuse of office, of power and of trust. It

locates corruption in the wider context of misconduct and organizational deviance in

policing, and rejects the 'bad apple' metaphor for one of bad barrels and bad orchards.

One chapter discusses definitions, typologies, forms and degrees of corruption, and also

the influence of police culture and of the organization. Three chapters examine

corruption and its investigation in notable scandals in the USA (NYPD, LAPD and

police in other cities), the Netherlands (Amsterdam and the IRT affair) and the UK (the

Metropolitan Police and Northern Ireland). The book then considers pathways into

police deviance and corruption; and discusses reform and accountability. The appendix

reviews what can be done to tackle corruption.

Title Nudge: improving decisions about health, wealth and happiness.

Authors THALER, Richard H; SUNSTEIN, Cass R

Source London: Penguin Books, 2009 306p., illus. bibliog.

Notes

(ABS) Nudge is defined as 'any aspect of the choice architecture that alters people's

behaviour in a predictable way without forbidding any options or significantly changing

their economic incentives'. This book promotes libertarian paternalism as a way of using

nudges to influence people's choices so that they will make their lives better. Its first

section discusses general issues of human behaviour in perception and making choices.

Two other sections address specific issues related to money (saving, investing and

borrowing) and to society (the US program of provision of prescription drugs,

increasing organ donations, environmental protection, privatising marriage). The fourth

section offers a selection of more nudges; and discusses objections. This book was first

published in the USA in 2008; this UK edition has a postscript on the financial crisis of

2008.
