Episode 14: Sheriff Jim Johnson - Leadership in the Public Arena

My guest this episode is Sheriff Jim Johnson from Lee County, Mississippi (my home of Tupelo is in Lee County). As you will hear in this episode, there is another famous person who was born in Tupelo and Sheriff Johnson has some connections to this person's family.

During our conversation in Sheriff Johnson's office, he outlined several aspects of what makes an effective leader. He gives several examples of how these principles have been put into action in his life.

Links to some of the resources he recommends are given below:

• Cops-n-Kids -- a program that collects children's books, then distributes them to children living in abused, neglected circumstances.
• Max Lucado's book, In the Eye of the Storm

Sheriff Johnson invites any listeners who have ideas, suggestions, or questions to email him. Or, you may call his office at 1-662-841-9040
