Black in Blue: Lessons on Leadership, Breaking Barriers, and Racial Reconciliation
商品資訊
商品簡介
Whatever your positions on Black Lives Matter, defunding the police, and equity in law enforcement, former police chief Carmen Best shares the leadership lessons she learned as the first Black woman to lead the Seattle Police Department--a personal insider story that will challenge your assumptions on how to move the country forward.
Chief Carmen Best has spent the last 28 years as a member of a major big-city police force, an institution where minorities and women have historically found it especially difficult to succeed. She defied the odds and became the first Black woman to lead the Seattle Police Department.
In her tenure, she was successful in bringing significantly more diversity to the force. However, when the city council cut her budget in the midst of months of protests against police violence across the nation, she had no choice but to step aside. Without the city's support, she felt she wouldn't be able to continue changing the status quo of the police force from within.
Throughout her career, Chief Best has learned lessons that those coming up behind her can benefit from. In this book, she will use her story to share those urgent lessons. Readers will read about:
- How Chief Best grew up to believe in the change she set out to create.
- Her early days in the police force, including lessons from the academy and her time on patrol.
- How she progressed in her career within a primarily white law enforcement culture and the events that led to her becoming Chief.
- How she built her team and overcame the politics involved in her high-level position until the call for defunding came.
Carmen Best teaches readers the core qualities and mindset to persevere and rise through the ranks, even within a workplace whose culture and leadership must be challenged, and policies changed on the way to achieving that vision. Her story is one of motivation and serves as a masterclass in guiding principles for anyone striving to serve their community and rise to the highest echelon of success.
