FBI Memphis Honors Pastor Ricky Floyd with Director’s Community Leadership Award

 MEMPHIS, TN—FBI Memphis Field Office (ME) Special Agent in Charge Douglas M. Korneski is pleased to announce Pastor Ricky Floyd as the recipient of the 2020 FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award (DCLA). The DCLA was created in 1990 to honor individuals and organizations for their extraordinary contributions to the prevention of crime and violence in the community. Every year FBI field offices around the country select a community partner to receive the award.

Pastor Floyd is the Senior Lead Pastor of Pursuit of God Transformation Center, the founder of Salvation Revelation Ministries, Inc., a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit outreach ministry, and he and his wife, Pastor Sheila Floyd, are on the Board of Directors of many community-facing organizations. Pastor Floyd is an outspoken opponent of violent crime in the Frazier community. Despite becoming a gunshot victim himself last year, he continues his work with high-risk youth to drive down violent crime and improve the lives of citizens in Memphis.

“The FBI is proud to be presenting Pastor Floyd with this award,” said SAC Korneski. “Pastor Floyd and his wife are such positive influences in the community and have made a significant impact on western Tennessee and beyond. Their focus is on changing people’s lives for the better, and their commitment to that is seen through the many programs and partnerships they have developed to support local charities and organizations.”

This award is given annually on behalf of FBI Director Christopher Wray. For more information about this prestigious award, please see https://www.fbi.gov/about/community-outreach/dcla.

Part 3: Learning to Drive Meaningful Change

Date and Time: September 14th, 2021

10am PT / 11am MT /12pm CT / 1pm ET for one hour

Webinar Summary: Every leader must be a change agent to survive and thrive. Great leadership goes beyond transforming yourself and others; it also involves changing your organization. Driving meaningful change in your department or correctional institution does not happen overnight.

 It requires a strong leader who acts as an agent of change with the desire to collaborate and the heart to identify and implement sustainable solutions for organizational improvement. In this webinar, you will explore how you push past the paradigm that says, “That’s the way we’ve always done it.” To change behavior, you must be a leader who can affect change in people’s behavior. Tools and techniques for effectively leading change will be introduced, and you will be challenged to identify one or more initiatives that you can undertake to move your organization to the next level.

Takeaways

•             Shifting from transactional to transformational leadership is the key to taking your department, institution, or agency to the next level.

•             Change agents have the ability to manage crisis and readily adapt to shifting conditions in the workplace.

•             Sustainable change involves looking at the entire system and not just the individual parts.

Transformational Leadership: How to Lead Yourself, Your Team, and Your Organization

 Part 2: Learning to Value Your Employees

Date and Time: August 18, 2021
10 am PT / 11 am MT /12 pm CT / 1 pm ET for one hour

 As a leader, when was the last time you seriously thought about the kind of influence you

want to have on your people? With a new generation of employees entering the criminal justice field, leaders need to examine how effectively they influence and develop others. Employees today want to be engaged; expect to grow their knowledge, skills, and abilities; and work for a purpose. 

To be effective, leaders must shift from the practice of simply managing to get work done to leading from a people-centered perspective. This webinar identifies how you can inspire people to achieve unexpected or remarkable results, both individually and as a team. You will learn about the four pillars of transformational leadership and how you can redefine the nature of leadership in the field of corrections.

 Takeaways:

• Leaders are deeply respected and serve as powerful role models with high moral and ethical integrity.
• Leaders are mentors, coaches, or guides who listen and address each employee’s concerns and needs as best as possible.
• Leaders inspire and motivate employees to perform beyond expectations. 
• Leaders support a growth mindset and stimulate employees’ creativity and innovation
