Book excerpt: Becoming the leader you were born to be relies on your ability to master five leadership principles: character, competence, compassion, courage, and commitment. o Character: refine your moral qualities. o Competence: develop skills and knowledge. o Compassion: practice empathy. o Courage: stand up for what you believe in. o Commitment: dedicate yourself to continuous learning. It has taken me more than thirty years to finally have the courage to stand up and tell the story of how I achieved the top rung of the leadership ladder in law enforcement—how I became a top cop. I have distilled my journey down to pivotal moments that have left a lasting impression on who I am as a leader and where I stand today. If my journey inspires one person to become more intentional in the pursuit of their dreams, then I have achieved my goal of paying it forward.
