Sheriff's Office Launches Revolutionary Initiative with L.E.T

MADISON, Ga. - June 28, 2023 - PRLog -- Morgan County Sheriff's Office launches a revolutionary initiative.

In early May 2023, the Morgan County Sheriff's Office teamed up with two Atlanta area businesses to launch a revolutionary initiative. The MCSO partnered with Warrior Leadership LLC and Minds of Distinction to provide a two-phase training initiative that instructed inmates and staff on critical communication skills and conflict resolution techniques.

Inmates and staff were brought together in a combined learning environment for am Leader Effectiveness Training (L.E.T.) workshop. Jeff Herold and Mike Ogle (Warrior Leadership) and Henry Maynard (Minds of Distinction) facilitated the L.E.T., which teaches an actionable set of skills to improve communication and conflict resolution skills. This knowledge improves relationships and reduces tension. L.E.T. provides an easy-to-follow roadmap for navigating conflict and managing defensiveness. L.E.T. was created by Dr. Thomas Gordon of Gordon Training International (GTI). VP of GTI [Michelle Adams] said, "This workshop is the first-ever L.E.T. session of its kind in GTI's 60 years of existence. We are proud to be a part of this groundbreaking event."

This collaborative effort was designed to empower inmates and staff by teaching them practical skills that they can use to improve their lives. The training covered a variety of topics, including effective communication, conflict resolution, and impactful leadership skills.

By focusing on these key areas, the program aimed to foster collaboration and promote positive relationships within the jail, and help participants build positive relationships outside the jail as well.

This collaboration will help to make a positive difference in the lives of others and sets an example for innovative conflict resolution approaches that can be used successfully within correctional facilities. The feedback from the participants highlighted the outstanding success of the program and the excellent instruction from the trainers.

Training of this kind is truly "out of the box" thinking and could revolutionize the way we see rehabilitation efforts in our community.
