"I have known Doug for 35+ years and having been in Policing for 30 years and counting, I have the utmost respect and admiration for what he is trying to accomplish with this book. Despite his years of service and countless projects, his enthusiasm and energy in creating a top-notch product always impressed me. I believe the finished product will provide all kinds of "leaders" with more insight and methods to elevate their leadership skills. He is more than qualified to author this book as he has honed his leadership skills for years and performed as a Law Enforcement Officer (LOE), trainer, and mentor at a very high level.
Doug has always displayed leadership qualities, even when we were rookies on the Guelph football team. He stood out as one of the people that others naturally gravitate to and follow. As I've said throughout my Policing career, you can make people supervisors, but it is very difficult to make people leaders; many leaders just have that natural ability.
This book is relevant for anyone in a management position who is interested in staying current and serious about how they manage moving forward. Additionally, it's valuable for anyone in the law enforcement world who is in a middle/upper management position. Integrating real-world examples/scenarios might make the book more appealing to these types of managers. "

Through years of playing sports, participating in different forms of student government, etc., and through being in a position of partnership and management throughout my career, I have come to know that leadership comes in many forms. After my experiences on the Bachelor, I was put into positions where I was expected to lead people just because they knew me from a TV show. It was, at times awkward, but something I felt comfortable with as well. I just always tried to lead by example. And tried to lead by doing what I wanted or expected others to do. This was what I learned from my father and what I try to do every day with my children. Frankly, I didn't know of much else that was an effective form of leadership that I felt comfortable doing. However, I learned of so many more of leadership styles by reading through Doug's book and realizing that what I knew previously was the tip of the iceberg.
The detail by which Doug goes into these different leadership styles is educational and captivating. From my reading, I realized that there were different ways that I could incorporate some of these approaches, and I feel confident that they would have a profound impact on how people perceive me - and ultimately respond to me in different situations.
