Leadership in Public Safety

In this episode, host Cherie Bartram sits down with Dr. Andre Jones to explore leadership in public safety and emergency communications. The conversation centers on a core idea: leadership is a mindset, not just a title. Dr. Jones covers the distinction between managing tasks and shaping culture, the value of strong followership, and how emotional intelligence helps leaders stay resilient. He also emphasizes mentorship, succession planning, and servant leadership — shifting the focus from being in charge to genuinely taking care of your team.
