Explain how organizational culture molds the thinking and outlook of those participating in criminal justice. Specifically identify the various stages of socialization and compare contrast socialization of correctional officers within the inmate population. This week, imagine you are at the interview. During the interview, you are asked several questions. At the end of the interview, you are asked two specific questions related to how you would function in the work environment: 1) How do you handle conflict co-workers; and 2) explain your understanding of leadership and followership, and how would you apply them in this position?

1. Ths conflict must be handled through formal and informal practices that promote peaceful and comprehension mechanisms in the workspace. In order to do so, it must be implemented formal rules to deal with conflict, and these rules must be shared and respected by all the workers. Additionally, it must be in place a set of informal practices that allow respecting the formal mechanisms without the presence of authority members 2. The leader is that person that can influence others to change their actions. This influence is achieved through charisma, knowledge, persuasion and affects the decision process of the team members directly. Followership is the action of following a leader, and I would use it through the leader example, looking that every member of the team follows the example of the leader. The leader must respect and represent the organizational culture, promoting an environment focused on obtaining an organization that works towards the reform and respect of the inmate population.
