In this episode, FSA speaks with Leonard Wood during our Executive Leadership Conference in Miami. Leonard was a keynote presenter and shared insights on the four anchors to success. We explore the key differences between what motivates us personally versus what motivates others, and how vulnerability plays a role in leadership. Just after taking the stage, Leonard discusses how understanding the motivations of individuals on our team—and then learning when to step aside—can empower them to thrive and achieve meaningful success.

Whether you're in public safety or simply interested in how state policy and budgeting impact your community, this episode offers valuable insights you won’t want to miss.
