The other day I heard
Police Captain Ron Johnson at a press conference trying to calm the fears of
the people of Ferguson, MO. As I listened to him, six key leadership traits
emerged:
1 - Honesty- A question was
asked about whether the initial comments by the Ferguson Police Chief were handled
correctly, and he answered that it was not and he would be speaking with the
Police Chief.
2- Listening- When people
said they could not hear him, he moved closer to the crowd to make sure they
could hear what he was saying.
3- Communication-He acknowledged
that they authorities had not communicated well. Then he gave his personal
commitment to helping improve communication between police and the people in
the community.
4- Respect-He wanted the
community to respect each other and their community and called on the
protesters not to destroy their neighborhood.
5- Accountability- He challenged
the community to follow him that evening and to walk with him.
6- Strength- He stood in front of the community and nation, and with a high level of articulation, outlined his thoughts and his commitment to the community to push for calm and ultimately justice.
Unfortunately,
the next day some of the people of Ferguson and quite possibly outside
agitators felt more comfortable with ginning up the crowd and feeding the fears
and anger of the people of Ferguson.
It’s
disheartening to see people destroying their own community and displaying such
venom and anger without getting all of
the facts and letting the justice system work.
This
morning I saw another news conference with Captain Ron Johnson, and he had a
look on his face of disappointment. Despite the fact that some chose to
disregard his plea for calm, his leadership still was a beacon to me that
leadership is not lost, and I am hopeful that his leadership will prevail.
