Description

This qualitative study explored how six post-conventional police leaders in the Australian Federal Police (AFP) understand complex change. It identified the challenges facing policing organisations with the increasing complexity of the global environment, the increasing sophistication of criminality, as well as cultural legacy issues. The results show that these post-conventional leaders hold an acute and insightful understanding of the intricacies and interconnectedness of the complexities facing the AFP, while holding deep empathy, compassion, and commitment to growth as leaders. This study contributes to the development of police leaders to include adult vertical development.
