Corrections is a career field in which advancement can come quickly at times. The result of this is someone being given a responsibility that are not completely prepared for. Even in those times when we feel prepared, there is always more that we didn’t know, and sometimes we wish we had before we took the position. In this episode, host Aaron Dawson interviews Major Deann Cash, a Jail Administrator with years of experience at multiple levels of responsibility and leadership. During the interview, Major Cash shares some things that she has found to be crucial and necessary for leadership in corrections to be effective and successful.

It has been said that the holiday season is “either super up or super down.” Whichever it is for us depends on our mindset.

The data is clear that the best remedy to this mindset isn’t a new form of medication, but rather good, old-fashioned gratitude. In this episode, host Aaron Dawson encourages and challenges everyone to commit to making this holiday season a positive one. Tis the season…for what? We get to decide!

We work in a dangerous and stressful environment…no kidding! Some of that we have no control over, but as supervisors, the cultural environment is our responsibility. Our officers need an environment in which their personality and strengths can be recognized and utilized. They need an environment that is not conducive to toxic and negative influence from other employees. They need an environment where complacency, apathy, toxicity, and defeat are recognized and addressed. In this episode, practical methods of doing this are discussed. It’s an opportunity for us to invest in those that we are responsible for.

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!

In this episode, host Aaron Dawson continues the conversation dealing with the responsibility of supervisors. The officers are our responsibility! What do they need? In this episode the discussion centers around the “routine” of corrections. Do our officers know WHAT is expected and do they know HOW to do it? As supervisors, it’s our responsibility to know the answer to those questions.

In this episode, host Aaron Dawson continues the conversation began in the last episode discussing crucial skills that supervisors must have in dealing with staff. What do our staff need from us? In this episode, we continue by discussing the third and fourth things supervisors must provide. The third item is a consistent and realistic level of intensity. If we “flip out” every time that anything happens, regardless of whether it is a “big deal” or not, we will have serious issues. The fourth item is transparency. If we have an expectation that our officers communicate and act in an honest way, shouldn’t we do the same. These are practical items that all of us can apply right away.

Jails across the country are experiencing “staffing issues.” Why? There could be a host of contributing factors, but one very likely factor is the lack of training being provided to those in supervisory positions specific to supervising people. In this episode, host Aaron Dawson discusses two things that supervisors must provide their officers. The first is expectations. What do we expect of them? Do they know? The second is encouragement. It is a natural human tendency to focus on the negative. If the only time our staff hear from us is when we are addressing “issues”, it will cause problems. This is a practical conversation concerning some crucial supervision skills.
