Here's a Sample Issue of "Corrections Leader"

Corrections Leader

 Correctional Reform, Re-entry and Reintegration
 

Vol. 2, No. 9
 

Dear Colleague, if you're in the midst of an economic slowdown, you are no doubt not alone.  Our suggestion?  Work to come out of it by taking some deliberate action of your own.  Economic ups and downs occur all the time.  Quite frankly, if your budget's cut or you are asked to do more with less, you're in the midst of your own slowdown or recession! Whatever the cause or severity, there are steps you must take to create your own stimulus as a leader to solve the problem just like any other.  Read the complete article with the sample exercise >>

We wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas season and your best year yet to come in 2009.  You can make it so!

Create Your Own Economic Stimulus Program!

Dear Colleague, if you're in the midst of an economic slowdown, you are obviously not alone.  Our suggestion?  Come out of it by taking control again.  Economic ups and downs occur all the time.  Quite frankly, if your budget's cut or you are asked to do more with less, you're in the midst of your own slowdown or recession! Whatever the cause or severity, there are steps you must take to create your own stimulus as a leader to solve the problem just like any other.  First let's on the basics. 

Perform "X-Ray" exercises on your challenges by working with your team to examine what you do, how and why you do it plus how you might do it better. 

1. Identify the challenges
2. Uncover potential opportunities
3. Develop action plans based on;

(a) the best possible proven solutions for addressing the challenges, plus

(b) leverage the opportunities again applying proven methodology

4. Implement your plans
5. Monitor results, learn from successes and failures then make needed adjustments, and
6. Celebrate!

Here's a sample exercise;

1. Identify the challenges
One of your challenges may be that you are not able to provide all the training think the organizations needs because your training budget is cut or you are faced with reducing your training headcount.

2. Uncover potential opportunities
As a result of your training budget issue, sustaining your training programs becomes a challenge in and of itself.  Opportunities you uncover might include -- (a) Invite the trainer onsite to your facility to minimize travel and hotel costs to off-site live training, or/and (b) You can work with the trainer to deliver the training online via a web conference.

However, if you can afford it I recommend you train your team off-site and in an interactive setting.  Adults learn better that way.

3. Develop action plans
When you create your plan of action, you would want to justify what you are doing.  You would also want to minimize your risk of failing.  For example, your plan should seek to select programs modeled after what is proven and validated not experimental.

4 & 5. Act to Implement your plan.  It is advisable to document your actions and findings because you'll learn much more from what you've done, what worked and what did not work. Finally, you may also come away with some great methodologies for the bad and the good time.

6. At the end, Celebrate!  I dont think we do enough of this.  Save some room in your planning so in the end, you and your team have something left over to truly celebrate.  And it doesn't have to be expensive either, although if you have enough left over, you can make it so.  It makes us better leaders and managers.

Ok, I made it sound easy and it is!  Although it can be quite trying. 

We wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas season and a great year in 2009.

Much success,

Sobem Nwoko
Publisher & Editor-in-Chief
