Week 1 Project: The Role of Leadership
One of the obstacles to defining the role of a leader is the  difficulty in defining what leadership entails. Think about the role of  leadership in the criminal-justice system and answer the following  questions in a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document:

How can you differentiate between the role of a leader and a manager  in the criminal justice system with reference to the following:     

Operational functions of the organization, such as budget planning,  recruitment and hiring, infrastructure maintenance, and performance  reviews
Relationship with subordinates in the organization

Are there any overlaps between effective leadership and effective management roles in the criminal-justice system?
Does being an effective leader in the criminal justice system conflict with being an effective manager?
Are leadership responsibilities tied to official job descriptions in  criminal justice or could a criminal justice agent of any position be a  leader? Why?
How do the different ways of interpreting and defining a leader’s  role influence effective leadership? Explain with reference to the  various definitions of leadership as a specialized role and a shared  influence process.
