Matt Dolan Biography

Matt Dolan is a licensed attorney who specializes in training and advising leaders in matters of legal liability, risk management, and ethical leadership. His training focuses on helping leaders make ethically and legally sound leadership decisions as a means of minimizing liability and maximizing organizational effectiveness.

A member of a law enforcement family dating back three generations, Dolan has trained and advised thousands of police leaders throughout the United States over the past decade.

Dolan brings his experiences in helping law enforcement leaders make personnel decisions--with potentially life-altering consequences--to a broader audience of leaders interested in applying the same principles utilized to effectively lead law enforcement officers to their particular leadership challenges.

Matt Dolan Speaking Topics

  • Confronting the Toxic Employee

    Every one of your employees, like any human being in any profession, has bad days at work. But it is the small number of chronically toxic individuals who generate the overwhelming majority of stress and frustration for co-workers and supervisors. An organization’s toxic employees can often be such a distraction from the organization's mission that supervisors seem to spend more time dealing with the internal issues generated by toxic employees than they spend focused on moving the organization forward.

    If not confronted, toxic behavior can prove extremely deflating to the morale of co-workers in light of their leaders’ apparent inability to hold them accountable for their actions. This is made all the more frustrating when toxic employees are widely known to be seriously problematic but are never adequately confronted by leaders in the organization.

    Leaders need to confront this extremely damaging presence in the workforce in a way that both protects the integrity of the organization and is legally defensible. Ensuring that these management techniques are legally defensible is particularly important because, in many cases, toxic employees tend to be perpetual plaintiffs who file baseless grievances, complaints and lawsuits throughout their careers as they refuse to accept responsibility for their actions.

  • The 3 Most Important Questions in Leadership and Liability

    (1) What did you know? (2) When did you know it? (3) What did you do?

    The way in which leaders answer these three basic questions when things go bad on their watch will determine how legally and ethically defensible their leadership strategies have proven to be. Whether these questions are asked by an attorney, a co-worker or a supervisor, the answers go the the very heart of leadership obligations.

    It is the obligation of a leader to know what is going on--particularly the things that they don't particularly want to know about but need to know about. It is also the obligation of a leader to avoid being the last one to know it--even when countless action items divert their attention from supervisory obligations. And it is lastly the obligation of a leader to take immediate action when things are beginning to go sideways--especially when it is tempting to "kick the can down the road" and hope that someone else will take this problem on down the road.

  • The Principles of Ethical Leadership

    The 18th Century author Samuel Johnson asserted that “People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed.” And there is never a bad time to remind leaders of the ethical obligations that they have to the people that work for them and the people that they work for.

    Costly and embarrassing lawsuits, public relations disasters, and much else could be avoided by first asking the commonsense ethical questions that leaders should be able to answer long before an attorney is deposing them or a news outlet's van is parked outside their office. All too often, leaders only return to basic questions of leadership ethics after one of these disasters have struck.

    By reminding leaders of the most common ethical pitfalls--from the bystander effect to the rationalization slope to the diffusion of responsibility--they can also be reminded of the tremendous benefits of meeting ethical challenges, even when it seems that no one is looking.
