Welcome back to The First Responder Playbook! In this episode, host Brent sits down with John Guaspari, a seasoned leadership expert, consultant, and author of eight books—including the newly released "If Engagement is the What, Then Respect is the How." John’s journey is anything but typical: from aerospace engineer, to a Swiss army knife writer at Honeywell, to an in-demand consultant helping Fortune 500 companies transform the way they lead and engage their people.
This conversation unpacks why respect is the foundation for building trust, empowerment, and ultimately, genuine engagement within organizations—even those with paramilitary structures like first responder agencies. John shares candid stories from his own career, highlights generational and communication gaps in leadership, and offers practical wisdom for supervisors at every level. Whether you’re on the front lines or in the admin office, you’ll take away actionable insights on how listening, empathy, and daily respect can make your team stronger and more motivated.
Stick around as John opens up about his most meaningful professional moments, what effective engagement really looks like, and why sometimes, it’s the simple but difficult things that truly make the difference in leadership.
