Скачать или смотреть Law Enforcement & Military Leadership: Decisions That Cost Lives And Retention

Today, I sit down with Brent Colbert, a law enforcement officer, leadership doctoral student, and host of The First Responder Playbook, to have an honest and unfiltered conversation about leadership failures in high-risk professions.

Mr. Colbert and I share how poor leadership—not the job itself—is often the driving force behind burnout, mental health decline, and retention problems in law enforcement, military, and first responder communities.

In this episode, we explore how complacency, emotional decision-making, and ego-driven authority can turn routine calls into life-or-death situations. Mr. Colbert walks through real-world critical incidents, including pursuits, suicides, and command failures, to illustrate how leadership behavior directly affects officer safety, morale, and long-term psychological health. We also discuss why “time served” does not equal leadership competence and why managing people is not the same as leading them.

We also examine post-critical-incident care, peer support, EMDR therapy, and the alarming lack of transition planning for first responders leaving service. Mr. Colbert explains why agencies must take responsibility for mental health follow-ups, retirement care, and human-centered leadership models.
