Ep. 12: Courage Casts - Leading Without Rank

In this Courage Cast, retired Police Captain Josh Bitsko talks about leading without rank. Titles like sergeant or captain may carry authority, but true leadership often comes from those who step up in the moment.Drawing on his experiences in critical incidents, including the 1 October Las Vegas shooting, Josh shares how informal leaders can steady chaos, give clear direction, and change outcomes even without stripes on their collar. He explains why leadership is more about presence and clarity than titles, and how anyone can be the leader their team needs.
