A Conversation with Dean Esserman

Turning Organizations Around and Leadership

(Running time 5:43)

Esserman has led turnarounds in several police departments. In this video he describes what he has learned about the transition- travel alone and find the talent in the organization. To connect with staff, he believes, leaders need to get out of conference rooms and care about the people who work for them. In a transition, change should happen right away because that is when people are most prepared.
