If I could only read one book on leadership, this would be it. I think this is a great book. As a leader, I read this book with my leadership team and it helped give us a common perspective about characteristics that contribute to leadership success.

Given his exceptional leadership and instructional expertise, our organization contracted with Merle in 2005 to create and facilitate a series of workshops on peace officer recruitment and retention. He documented the results of the workshops a year later in a comprehensive publication entitled Recruitment and Retention Best Practices. We subsequently contracted with Merle for creation of a recruitment strategic planning guide. This proved to be an excellent complementary follow up document. Both the best practices and strategic planning publications may be viewed online via POST’s website: www. post.ca.gov.

Most recently, we have enlisted Merle’s services to facilitate development of a futures planning capability within POST. From November of 2009 through last month, Merle led a select cadre of POST employees through application of the strategic foresight futuring methodology. This intensive effort led to creation of a product that is expected to be the framework for ongoing strategic planning within POST and serve as a process template for all other law enforcement agencies in the State.

I continue to be quite pleased and impressed with Merle Switzer’s quality of work product in furtherance of POST’s mission. I am particularly impressed with the responsiveness that has been consistently demonstrated. To me, this is a huge attribute and one that enables projects to be completed on time and in a manner that never comprises quality. I highly recommend the services of Dr. Merle Switzer.
