- Are there any overlaps between effective leadership and effective management roles in the criminal-justice system?
- Does being an effective leader in the criminal justice system conflict with being an effective manager?
- Are leadership responsibilities tied to official job descriptions in criminal justice or could a criminal justice agent of any position be a leader? Why?
- How do the different ways of interpreting and defining a leader’s role influence effective leadership? Explain with reference to the various definitions of leadership as a specialized role and a shared influence process.
