Ego Kills Careers, and How to Lead Differently with Dr. Ron Camacho
Q: What are you doing now on a regular basis to take care of yourself?
Continual introspection, conversations with my wife and a close deputy chief, open dialogue with staff, and regular access to coaching and community feedback to stay grounded and focused on service.
Ego Kills Careers, and How to Lead Differently with Dr. Ron Camacho
Q: Is there a moment you led from ego instead of service, and what did you do to correct it?
Early in my career I led with toughness and intimidation; therapy helped me see my insecurities, healed childhood trauma, and shifted me toward empathy, humility, and serving others before myself.
Ego Kills Careers, and How to Lead Differently with Dr. Ron Camacho
Q: If there's someone listening who realizes ego may be impacting their leadership, what's the first step toward change?
Be honest with yourself about where you are, and if the problem is big, consider therapy; if not, start with an honest mirror, assess self-awareness, and seek trusted feedback from family or friends to begin making adjustments.
Shot in the line of Duty - with Hali Bradford
Q: What has helped you most in dealing with the loss of purpose and the impact of the shooting?

Shot in the line of Duty - with Hali Bradford
Q: And you have quite a story. Give us a little bit of your background.
