Hello everyone, my name is Latia Josey, I am from Long Island, NY and I relocated to Georgia
to start my career as a Deputy Sheriff. I have been in that role for the past four years. I current
role as a Deputy Sheriff is Background Recruitment and Investigations. I currently investigate
current employees, and I investigate, recommend, or non-recommend new recruits for a position
with my agency. I have ten Children and one on the way. I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor
program for Business Administration. I received my Associates in Business Management in
2015.
What will you do for company incentives or acknowledgment? It was a time with my current
employer when no matter how hard you worked, they never recognized how much of an asset
you are to the organization. I would work hard and all I received was negative feedback based on
personal feelings. I started to hate a job I once loved and dreaded going to work. In the beginning
of 2021, a new Sheriff was appointed. The new administration came in with a boom, they offered
many incentives for job performance. I am a person who really don't communicate much to any
one of power, I let my work ethic do the talking for me, and it did. I begin to love my job once
again, which meant more time and more devotion. I had to learn how to balance work and home
life. By showing a little appreciation and offering incentives to your employees goes a long way,
and it can improve the organization. For the last five months I have been the best investigator. I
was giving gift cards every month and was awarded an opportunity to work from home some
days if my job performance isn't compromised.
Explain how the examples your peers described are similar to your own example. Discuss why you think those elements of leadership and management might be effective for the organization. Explain one to two similarities or differences between
I believe communication is key. The way leadership communicates can affect the way you work
and the success of the business. if the information is not being transferred between shifts, how
will you know how to perform your job? Poor communication as you stated costed the company
money. If they took that same money that was lost and enrolled the managers is communication
classes, the organization and employees could benefit in the long run. What I went through with
my old administration also was form of bad communication. When my supervisor only
recognized the bad in my work based off personal feelings it started to affect my work ethic. I
was stressed and did not want to go to work some days. I also was at the point where my
husband seen the stress and was telling me to resign.
Good afternoon Ms. Macklin,
Having a plan for your employees makes a difference and communicating effectively. I went
through a similar situation with my current employer,
