One of the biggest challenges within SWAT leadership commands these days are putting the right people in the right position based upon skill, decision making, and credibility. I believe that if you are the man for the job then you should have that job within SWAT. SWAT is not a competition for leadership and if it is you will miss something along the way. SWAT leadership should come as a surprise when you get it because you have done all the back end work to be successful and make those around you successful.
