Better, together. The importance of emotional intelligence in justice.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT ARE THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPONS WE HAVE TO IMPROVE JUSTICE - Let's reconsider the value of Goodwill, Good Faith, and Emotional Intelligence across our stakeholders to expedite achieving positive outcomes for justice. 

I call this focus a "Rehumanisation" of departmental processes. 

Victims of crime are reporting poor experiences of their interactions across Law Enforcement and Justice leadership to The Dark Night Online, but this speaks to the broader situation that we find ourselves in at this time. 

There is an urgent need to prioritize improving intra (internal) and inter (external or between) personnel skills, understanding that we are better when we can learn how to work positively with all our stakeholders. That level of trust might be difficult for victims who have experienced dissociative behaviors, apathy, neglect, and suffering as a result of poor leadership across law enforcement and justice. 

I empathize with law enforcement and justice over the attitudes of 'jaded' people. Those who have been let down by the apathy and neglect of bad operators, who become prejudiced against good operators. Good people across the justice system fight for people who make their jobs difficult. 

The big picture isn't good. 

Statistics reveal that up to as much as 20% of our modern civilization could be classified as exhibiting enough of attributes to be defined as genuinely narcissistic, sociopathic and (or) psychopathic. Stats also reveal that a high percentage of leaders have become dissociated from the empathy of cause and consequence. 

Back in 2019, Forbes identified 12% of CEOs exhibit psychopathic traits, but behaviors have declined since then. Whereas psychopathy as a percentage of the general population is just 1%. 

What this teaches us is that there is a systemic problem with how we are teaching modern leadership. There is a need to reevaluate leadership training in the context of developing empathy and accountability. 

Pain teaches empathy, which is why it is so critically important that we learn to listen to the pain of victims and their advocates. 

Victims however also need to give law enforcement and justice personnel the benefit of the doubt, with a sense of good faith and goodwill, and by learning to be patient and helpful to support good operators. If you want people to fight FOR YOU, don't fight with them, and don't neglect them. Find a way to help them to help you. 

Prejudice and mistrust are common all around. With no thanks to poor behaviours among victims, law enforcement, and justice department personnel. 

Criminals exploit every emotional intelligence weakness creating distrust between stakeholders, and especially seeking to undermine public-private partnerships and professional services operators. 

See the big picture. 

Enterprise criminals and state-sponsored threat actors thrive when we fight each other.
