Pointman Leadership around the World
The Pointman Leadership Institute started when the retired Assistant Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, Robert Vernon, was asked to lecture on leadership to key agencies in former Soviet Block countries. The need for ethical leadership was soon recognised in other parts of the world and the demand for Pointman material increased.
It soon became apparent that ethical leadership skills were just as much in demand in western countries too. Demand in Europe is such that a UK branch of PLI was launced in 2000.
Below is a partial list of the countries that have received PLI training seminars:-
|
Albania Argentina Bolivia Canada Central Africa China England Germany Hungary Ireland Kazakhstan |
Kenya Netherlands Nigeria Paraguay Peru Russia South Africa Switerland USA Ukraine Venezuela |
Seminars for Parliament: Czech Republic Grenada Lithuania Mongolia Papa New Guinea Romania Uganda |
For a seminar in the UK, the PLI Team will usually consist of one UK Director and two UK Instructors. For a seminar abroad, the Director and Instructors can be drawn from anywhere in the world depending on their availability.
The same Pointman material is delivered in our seminars regardless of the host country. There are, as you would expect, a number of special challenges when abroad. For example, in April 2004 Bob Vernon (President of Pointman) and two UK Instructors, Roger Lincoln and Sir Laurence New worked via an interpreter to present the Basic Seminar over three days to the Police College in Zaparozhye in the Ukraine. In some countries the electricity is sporadic and so PowerPoint is replaced by flip charts and lighting is supplied by a petrol-driven low voltage generator. Sometimes several foreign trips are arranged consecutively, so UK Pointman can be out of the country for up to two weeks at a time.
