LEADERSHIP WHEN YOU ARE NOT "ONE OF THE GUYS" By P.J. Thompson The first Leadership Tactics "Flame" is Confidence ... from goal setting to developing power bases. W hether you work for a small rural department or a large metropolitan agency, if you are a female offcer, you probably noticed something in the academy or perhaps as a probationary employee. You are a little different. You may not have been invited for beers after watch, you may not have been offered tickets to the game, or invited along on the weekend fshing trip. You didn't really expect it. You got into the policing business for the work, not for a social life. 62 LAW and ORDER I October 2013
