IMPLEMENTATION LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES

REFINED FOR THOSE WORKING IN THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM

ACJI has identified 10 principles that are at the crux of Implementation Leadership and are especially helpful for justice agency leaders.

Every participant will be very familiar with the Essential Principles of Implementation Leadership© before the Academy is through. You will also have the opportunity to apply the principles to unique scenarios that only those in the justice field will understand. Plus, you’ll see your role as a leader through a new lens, and we promise you won’t look at your work the same again.

You'll also learn what this butterfly has to do with leadership. 🙂

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

IN ACJI'S IMPLEMENTATION LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

  • TO RECOGNIZE common problems that arise during implementation. (And tackle them with ACJI's proprietary tools.)

  • TO UNCOVER the (dis)connections between your agency's goals and its culture, data, leadership, and people.

  • TO IMPLEMENT policies, programs, and practices more effectively by following proven implementation science.

  • NEW HABITS and lose what doesn't serve you. Become the change agent you set out to be in your career.

The Implementation Leadership Academy is ACJI’s introductory Academy. It is an eight-week virtual program that gives you dedicated time to work on pressing challenges. You’ll only need about three hours each week to do the work. And you’ll see benefits right away. In fact, it won’t take long to start employing effective implementation! Those who complete the Academy and are looking to go even deeper into adaptive leadership and implementation science are invited to the follow-up programs, the Culture Academy and ILA 102: Leading in the Adaptive Space.
