EPISODE 110

Leadership Vol. 2:

Your (Shitty) Attitude is Contagious

 

Apr 1, 2022 | Podcast

SWAT Small Unit training debriefing over the bed of a pickup truck

There is more to leadership than rank or titles—and before you know it, you’re the guy or gal with just a few years on when you realize you’re not the rookie any more. We talk about capitalizing on good mentoring and working within your sphere of influence to build a foundation of resourcefulness that will keep you happy, your bosses happy, and set you up for success down the road and avoid toxic or cancerous working environments.

This discussion builds on an earlier talk, available here: Volume 1

Guardians and Warriors: What type of Cop are you?

Guardians and Warriors: What type of Cop are you?

Let’s talk through common policing archetypes—Guardian, Warrior, Enforcer, Crime Fighter, Cynic, Power Seeker, and Pragmatist—not as fixed identities, but as adaptive responses to situational demands. The central argument is simple but challenging: effective policing requires the ability to shift modes deliberately. Leaders must know when to assert force, when to prioritize consent, and when to lean on others to stay grounded. This episode is a call for self-awareness, professional maturity, and dynamic leadership—not slogans, costumes, or rigid identities.
