You can build the best wellness program in the world, and your department will still say, “The hell I will.”
Retired police officer Rodger Ruge knows why. After two decades in law enforcement and a hard-won recovery from complex PTSD, he spent 30 years testing what actually builds resilience. Today, as Chief Resilience Officer at Pathfinder Resilience, he works with first responder leaders on culture change that lasts beyond any one chief.
Rodger joins Lt. David Dachinger (Ret.) and Bonnie Rumilly, LCSW/EMT, to talk about:
• The honest leadership assessment some chiefs throw away
• Why sharing hard feedback with the whole agency lowers resistance
• Leadership at every rank, from the line to the top
• How a clear “why” transformed recruiting for an RCMP communications center
• Honor the Temple, his new book with Dr. Renee Thornton
