In this episode of Elevate Your Call to Service, we explore what it truly means to lead through service—not rank, titles, or authority. Service-driven leadership is more than a style; it’s a mindset rooted in humility, purpose, and people-first conviction. And for many leaders, that mindset begins long before they ever step into public safety.

Mike shares a pivotal story from when he found himself responsible for teaching both senior and junior personnel. That experience—long before his 40-year career in law enforcement—ignited his passion for serving others, leading teams, and lifting people up from the inside out.

Together, we break down how service-driven leadership shapes trust, teamwork, and decision-making in law enforcement, first response, dispatch, and public-sector leadership. You’ll learn how humility strengthens influence, how service anchors purpose, and how our SERVE framework helps leaders stay grounded in values that matter.

Whether you’re a seasoned supervisor or building your leadership foundation, this episode will help you become a more service-minded, people-centered, purpose-driven leader.
