067 - Münchausen Managers: Warren Wilson
Naturally, I think every cop should listen to every episode of Hey Chaplain. But this one… this is really important. It's about leadership and integrity, corruption and gaslighting… it's a about a type of dishonest supervisor who can destroy the culture of a police department and then walk away looking like the only hero. Warren Wilson calls that character a Münchausen Manager and he wrote an article about it for Police1, which is how I found him. Listen to this episode, read Warren's article, and pass this on so that everyone will have the vocabulary to explain the odd behavior we sometimes see.
