This book explores the mindset, character, resilience, and decision-making skills required to lead effectively under intense pressure while maintaining integrity and professionalism.
Drawing from real-world criminal justice experience, leadership psychology, organizational research, and evidence-based practices, Dr. Sevoca Glass Jr. provides practical strategies for managing stress, making sound decisions, building trust, communicating during critical incidents, leading teams through trauma, and developing future leaders.
Inside this book, you will learn:
