“Go with your gut, go with your heart, go with what you know is right, because at the end of the day when you’re holding that bag no one’s gonna be there with you”.

Leadership isn’t a trait defined by the rank you hold, it’s defined by the actions you demonstrate. In his 18 years in the NYPD, nearly a decade of them as a boss, John Macari demonstrated that.

Action, Accountability, and Aplomb. The three A’s any leader needs to be successful. John talks here of one such situation early on in his tenure as a sergeant that required the demonstration of such traits.

Outro Song: Black Moon – Buck ‘Em Down (1993)
