Do you know what it takes to be the top promotional candidate?
Getting a promotion involves so much more than being great at your current job. The skills that make a person great at their present rank, are not necessarily the same skills that will make a person successful at the next level. This book clearly describes what a police chief is looking for in a first line leader and guides the reader, step by step, along the path to promotion success.
Nobody is born with the knowledge and skills necessary to dominate a promotional testing process, or to be successful in their new role as a sergeant. Too often excellent cops mistakenly believe that their work ethic, great work performance, and job knowledge will be enough to carry them to the top of the promotional candidate list. The successful candidate understands there is another element required to attain promotion-dominating the promotional testing process.
This book teaches practical skills and strategies to help readers position themselves for a leadership role in the eyes of their bosses and peers long before a promotional opportunity is even available. It also provides specific, proven methods for testing success, from a former Police Chief, who knows what makes an applicant stand out above the crowd.
Get ready to discover:
•How to begin implementing the 8 Pillars of Promotional Success
•The 10 Interview Commandments.
•How to prepare for the testing process using ‘The Bulletproof Interviewing Method.’
This book is packed with invaluable insight and actionable tactics to excel, not only on a promotional test, but as a leader once the promotion is attained.
