Leadership Training: Rules of Engagement (Video Blog)

Pete C. (L.E.T. Trainer and Police Sergeant) and Bill Stinnett (L.E.T. Master Trainer) discuss that it’s easy for everyone to agree on following orders and guidelines when extreme danger is a risk, for example police chasing a bank robber. But when there is no immediate danger, such as scheduling a time for a meeting or how you relate to one another when not in a crisis or safety situation, it’s is much more difficult for a leader to “give orders”. The same mindset can not be used in both work situations effectively and without conflict—there needs to be rules of engagement for the daily, routine “office stuff”. Leadership training, such as L.E.T., emphasizes that most work environments (since the vast majority of jobs do not involve immediate danger) function better when all the team members are listened to, have a say, and feel they are participating in the goal of the organization.
