Leadership principles are simple.. but execution with personalities, organizational culture, history, drama... that's where it gets really complicated really fast.  In this episode, I have hard hitters in senior leadership from in and out of law enforcement. 

Welcoming back returning guest, Jonni Redick, retired as an Asst. Chief in the California Highway Patrol and new guest, Oakland (Oak) McCullouch, retired Lieutenant Colonel from the US Army.  We hit on:
 
-developing our people
-fostering growth and ideas
-supporting the positive people in our organizations
-managing those who are negative and corrosive
-building team and cohesion
-improving communication in the ranks
-building mentorship
-what does checking in and supporting our people look like?

Listen, engage and share! (and stay gritty!)
