272: What Police are Missing with Leadership Development, w/ Capt. Mike Schentrup & Chief Jeffrey...

Leadership.  Development. Both of these items deserve much attention in our organizations, and it can be quite clear that these efforts are not adequate in many circumstances.  Put them together: Leader Development... you will have many officers recognize their agencies do a solid job, whereas for others it's an after thought, or only occurring when self-initiated.


Joining me in this leadership panel, my guests share much of what fuels their leadership philosophies, as well as training and educational perspectives and strategies to address this critical topic.  As our industry does more with less (fewer officers, more junior leaders) a sound effort is imperative.


Joining me are Chief Jeffery Melchior and Capt. Mike Schentrup (ret).  We talk about what's often missing, bad leaders, modeling, mentorship, and key character traits needed to ensure effectiveness.
