Beyond the Org Chart: How to Break Silos and Build Mission‑First, Trust‑Rich Teams in Law Enforcement
Description
In this episode of Elevate Your Call to Service, we tackle a costly leadership problem in policing: quiet infighting among leaders that fractures collaboration, slows operations, and erodes public trust.
Drawing from real command‑staff experiences, they unpack how “my division” thinking, surprise decisions, and ego-driven identities turn internal partners into competitors—and what it takes to rebuild an agency‑first culture.
You’ll hear candid stories from the command table and the kitchen table—including a quick “course correction” after the FBI National Academy that illustrates how easily people drift from “we” to “me,” and how intentional resets bring teams back to mission.
Listener takeaways:
A simple checklist to name drift, put the mission in the room, and make trust visible
How to create a 30‑day shared win with a cross‑unit case captain
Language swaps that shift identity from unit‑first to agency‑first
How to recognize and interrupt “kingdom building” early—before it costs your community.
