Today we’re joined by Grand Prairie Chief of Police Daniel Scesney. Daniel (he prefers to not be called ‘Chief’) has an extensive background in police work and leadership. A former Marine, Daniel spent years in police investigative work, including major crimes. He was promoted from being a police sergeant to assistant chief, something his peers mocked him for even attempting. 😉 

We talk about influencing our teams, our peers, our superiors, our “customers” and even our detractors. You’re going to enjoy getting to know more about Daniel and his leadership journey. Daniel also teaches a semester of a graduate course on Leadership Executive Administrative Development (LEAD) at Texas Christian University (his alma mater for his master’s degree – Go Frogs!).

Today’s discussion isn’t about telling the world to shove off (or something even less polite). It’s about leaning into becoming the best version of YOU. 

Comparing ourselves to others is a fool’s game, but wildly popular. Wishing we were like somebody else or wishing we were somebody different isn’t the ideal path forward. Instead, it’s time to dive more deeply into pursuing insights into our own self-awareness. If we can harness that, and get good with it, then we can begin to make progress to grow and improve. 

Pursuit of the ideal outcome – the pursuit of our ideal self – that’s today’s show.

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

It begins with you, the leader. The spark to build a high-performing team, and a high-performing culture…hinges on having a leader willing to be a spark plug. 

Today, we have an in-depth conversation about what it is to accept responsibility to be that spark plug that every effective team needs (and craves), and how we can invest in ourselves to make sure we provide what our team needs. 

Spark plugs provide the needed positive energy to get things going. And to keep them going. 

Your team needs everybody to be a spark plug in that every team member must make a positive difference. It’s not about being the center of attention in every room you enter. Or about being the extravert who is constantly rallying the troops. Spark plugs come in a variety of sizes. It’s about being in the right place at the right time – it’s about fitting in where you can make a big contribution!
