“If you always do, what you always did, you'll get what you always got” - Garry McCarthy

Garry McCarthy was one of the earliest candidates to declare a run against Mayor Rahm Emanuel, before he made the surprise decision in September that he would no longer seek to serve a third term. The native New Yorker ran the Chicago Police Department under Emanuel for more than four years.

Garry’s public service includes 25 years (1981-2006) as an officer on the New York Police Department, including six as deputy commissioner for operations; five years as police director in Newark, N.J. (2006-11) and four years as Chicago police superintendent (2011-15).

Garry is a proven leader and he shares some of his deepest leadership knowledge and wisdom during this episode.

Our co-host this episode is Nick Lodge.
