Leadership Under Fire with Chief Clint Greenwood

Alex talks with his brother, Chief (ret.) Clint Greenwood, about the distinctive mindset of first responders—their worldview shaped by crisis, camaraderie, and an often dark sense of humor. Together, they explore how leaders and communicators can better understand and work with emergency professionals by earning their trust before a crisis hits. The discussion offers practical insights on:​Building authentic relationships with first responders.​Understanding how humor and perspective serve as coping tools.​The vital role of trust and respect in high-pressure communication.​Why pre-established rapport leads to better coordination during emergencies. This candid conversation sheds light on leadership, resilience, and the power of preparation when lives and reputations are on the line. It's also about the bond between two brothers.
