Words of the Wise Podcast: Chief Jorge Colina — Stay Curious and Value Everyone Around You

Chief Colina offers two pieces of guidance that cut through generational noise and workplace stereotypes. First, he urges young officers not to dismiss anyone—especially those who are older or come from different backgrounds. Experience doesn’t always look the way you expect. A new recruit might have had a full career elsewhere. A veteran officer might carry insights you won’t recognize unless you listen. Everyone brings value, and part of your growth is learning to recognize what each person offers. His second message reframes a common criticism of younger generations: asking “why.” Rather than taking offense, he encourages embracing that curiosity. Understanding the reasoning behind policies, decisions, or tactics makes you better—more thoughtful, more adaptable, and more engaged. There will be moments on the job when there’s no time for explanation, but most of the time, questions lead to clarity, not conflict. For Colina, curiosity and respect aren’t just traits of good officers—they’re traits of great learners and future leaders.
