The importance of decentralized command in careers with consequences

Here are some tips to avoid micromanaging your troops, and how to handle a boss who is a little too involved in your daily decision making.

Teaching the Enemy: Lessons from The Dragons and the Snakes

It’s Chess AND Checkers–Tactics and Strategy Unite!

Why do we focus so much on tactics and so little on strategy? In this episode, Mike and Jim tackle the divide between street-level action and big-picture thinking. Drawing on lessons from policing, the military, and community crime prevention, they explore how individual cops, community members, and leaders can influence criminal decision-making—not just react to it.

Topics include resource constraints, the Broken Windows theory, and strategies for shifting offender perceptions to prevent crime before it occurs.
