About the Webinar
Difficult and/or ungovernable licensees present particularly vexing challenges for regulators and their staff. In addition to the concerning professional conduct that rises to the level of regulatory attention, one encounters other indicators of difficulty with authority and oversight in these licensees, such as frustrating communication styles, uncooperative attitudes, a history of wide-ranging or repeated offenses, or a proclivity for playing by their own rules. This session will assist regulators and their staff to interact more productively with such licensees through practical communication approaches and provide recommendations to increase the impact of regulatory interventions toward ensuring public protection and relapse prevention.
