Using poker as analogy for
leadership, Captain Andrew
Harvey, CPD (ret.), Ed.D. and
Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster,
LAPD (ret.), MPA found the right
mix of practical experience and
academic credentials to write a
definitive book for leaders.
Working together, Harvey and
Foster have written
Leadership: Texas Hold em Style.
Most often leaders find they are
given a set of resources people,
equipment, funds, experience and
a mission. As Foster noted, You
are dealt a certain hand. How
you play that hand as a leader
determines your success.

Turnaround, By William. Bratton, now
LAPD's chief, formerly from NY and Boston.
Much of the key to successful management is to
put the right
people in the right places (Jim Collins- "Good
to Great," ) who says successful management is
getting the right people on the bus, the wrong
people off the bus, and the right people in the
right seats!" Bratton's book exemplifies this
perfectly, as well as the innovative use of
hand's on management styles, getting buy in and
ownership, and fighting crime from the bottom
up, which embodied the use of COP/POP. The link
to skills, abilities and .... relationships is a
key component of success! Also, the issue of
accountability is clear, and we are seeing this
trend in policing as a result of Bratton's book,
the use of COMPSTAT and clear expectations about
measurable objectives.
