You're a team leader who wants to encourage innovation. How can you help your team take risks?
Successful team leaders understand each team member's strengths and weaknesses. The breakdown of these two areas establish the basis of what is needed to strengthen the overall team's performance. The goal is to inspire confidence, encourage collaboration, share ideas, and promote a positive mindset. As leaders, recognizing opportunities for improvement, skills that align with personal development, positive reinforcement, and a creative culture are essential to overall team growth. To unlock the full potential of the team, we must challenge their abilities, broaden their range of skillsets, and encourage each team member to reach beyond their limitations, and to unlock their full potential. The receipt for positive growth.

You're a team leader who wants to encourage innovation. How can you help your team take risks?
Empowerment fosters confidence and value, enabling the team to reach beyond their traditional approach to customer engagement when decisions need to be made. Being a part of the decision making process promotes growth and encourages confidence. As leaders, we are tasked with bringing the next generation of superpowers to our industry. What we do today forms the foundation of the leaders of tomorrow. The greatest challenge of the team is expression and ownership. Empowerment across the team instills confidence, promotes trust, and serves as the vessel for innovation and collaboration. We must empower each team member so they can reach their full potential. Growth, productivity, and success are the results we seek, and reward.

You're a team leader who wants to encourage innovation. How can you help your team take risks?
The freedom to express ideas, opinions, thoughts, and views of the team inspires creativity and innovation. It is the foundation of success. Thomas Edison had a vision of creating light from electricity. It took 1000 attempts before he got it right. There is as much value learned from failure as there is from success. Throughout my career, I have found that leadership is more about mentorship and a servant mindset, inspiring creativity within the team. Collaboration throughout the team is how we build consensus and confidence to share. A great leader encourages and supports creativity, guiding the team to the next great invention. What the mind can conceive, and believe, it can achieve (Napoleon Hill).

You're a team leader who wants to encourage innovation. How can you help your team take risks?
The vision is the ultimate destination. It is the guide the team will use to direct actions and decisions. A leader needs to clearly articulate the vision and strategy to the team, ensuring it inspires continuous creativity and innovation. Clearly define objectives, short and long-term. Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). The success or failure of the vision is based on the effectiveness of the strategy. A comprehensive strategy aligned with contributions from the team provides the roadmap to success. It is a living process within the team, continuously evolving and adapting to environmental and market changes. Communications & planning. Principals that contribute to a successful vision and strategy.

10 Steps to Creating a Campus Securty Master Plan

Hospitals, schools and universities have historically focused their physical security efforts on areas perceived to be known threats or in response to issues or events that have occurred in the past.

Recently, campus security directors and police officials have started taking a hard look at their campus protection programs, and many have discovered that security master plans can be an excellent way to improve overall safety. Campuses that create these types of plans will be better prepared to build a program that provides the level of information, control and awareness necessary to be proactive in mitigating risks, as well as responding to incidents.
