Testimonials

“The Executive Leadership Institute at Drucker provided me with additional leadership tools that I am able to bring back to my organization and implement on Day 1. The principles of Peter Drucker are emphasized throughout the program and related directly back to how law enforcement agencies can continue to improve. The importance and value of the "Monday morning difference" is a great way to look at individual and organizational improvement. I would highly recommend this course for those seeking to improve their leadership skills and abilities.”

- Matt Wojslawowicz, Lieutenant, Charleston, South Carolina Police Department

“I attended class 7 of ELI in June of 2023. The course instruction was challenging but appropriate. The instruction led to excellent classroom discussions and the environment encouraged lasting networking among peers within the industry. I truly enjoyed the experience and have several valuable takeaways that I will be working on at my agency.”

- Kurt Scanio, Lieutenant, Mesa, Arizona Police Department

“ELI was far and away the best leadership and personal development program I've had the opportunity to be part of. While dedication to the program is required, the return on investment is far and away worth it. I am no doubt better prepared to address leadership tasks within my agency and my personal life. The balance of business concepts combined with policing concepts is an entirely new way to look at our profession and the need to abandon the old and innovate for the future.”

- Lou Wright, Lieutenant, Folsom Police Department
