Leading Through the Generations: People-Focused Leadership for Public Safety

For more information and to register, click here.

Presented by Battalion Chief (Ret.) Bruce Bjorge, Chief (Ret.) Dave Funkhouser and Chief (Ret.) Michael Ranalli

Public safety agencies are navigating a pivotal leadership challenge: guiding teams made up of individuals with widely varied experiences, communication styles, and expectations. While generational differences often surface as friction points, whether over policy interpretation, training methods, or work-life priorities, they can also be opportunities for building stronger, more resilient teams. The key lies in leading people as individuals, not stereotypes, and anchoring everyone in a shared mission.

In this Lexipol webinar, part of the Leadership Principles Webinar Series, seasoned leaders Chief (Ret.) Mike Ranalli, Battalion Chief (Ret.) Bruce Bjorge and Chief (Ret.) Dave Funkhouser, discuss bridging leadership gaps across generational lines while exploring how to avoid common pitfalls, foster accountability, and build unity through purpose-driven leadership. Through real-world lessons, attendees will walk away with strategies for flexible leadership, stronger communication, and team alignment, no matter the age or background of their personnel.

You'll learn:

  • Why failing to understand individual needs, not generational labels, is a key point of leadership failure.

  • Practical strategies to reinforce accountability and mission alignment across diverse teams.

  • Flexible leadership approaches that strengthen engagement and reduce friction.

  • Common leadership missteps when navigating multi-generational dynamics—and how to avoid them.

Struggle Well

  • Castle Rock Public Safety Training Facility (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

A comprehensive approach that focuses on transformation of the active serving military and first responder culture, rather than the implementation of another wellness program.

Struggle Well training is guided by two objectives: normalizing the struggles that are a part of every service member and first responder’s life, and democratizing their ability to struggle well.

Struggle Well trains active serving military units and first responder agencies so participants are able to transform struggle into strength and growth, and be of better service to themselves, their family, community, and country.

Below is the next course available for FREE.
