Show Notes

Our special guest on this week’s episode of the Vibrant Leadership Podcast is Chief Jerry Stokes. He is the Chief of Police with the city of Salisbury, North Carolina and has been in public service for many years, formerly as Major with the city of Lynchburg, Virginia’s Police Department. 

Chief Jerry says, “I believe leadership is really kind of a mindset. You can use academic principles and definitions as a way to manage your leadership. But to be a true leader, you have to be an inspiration to people, an example and an inspiration to get them to do what they need to do and rise to their abilities and meet their true expectations and what they're capable of doing. If you inspire and grow folks and they become good employees or good citizens themselves, that's what makes you a leader.”

We chat about the importance of being physically present as a leader, as well as:
  • Formally recognizing outstanding work
  • Offering assistance rather than taking charge
  • Finding a hobby or an outlet of expression outside of the police force
  • Continuously learning and growing to apply new skills to your profession 
  • And more
