Words of the Wise Podcast: Chief John Incontro — It’s Not About You

Chief Incontro offers a message every rising leader needs to hear: reaching the top doesn’t make the job about you. Leadership in law enforcement is service, not status. You don’t lead from above—you lead from underneath, supporting the people who actually keep the organization moving. His perspective is rooted in humility: the chief is often the smallest, quietest part of the team, and the real work of leadership happens in listening, understanding, and lifting others up. He emphasizes the importance of servant leadership—stepping back, recognizing accomplishments, and telling the stories of the people you work with, not the people who work for you. The job is to care, to empathize, and to make space for others to succeed. Incontro’s advice to young officers and new leaders is simple but transformative: learn from those around you, lead quietly, and remember that the impact you make is measured by how well you support others, not by how loudly you stand in front.
