Leadership Principles for Executive Protection Professionals

As the role of the Detail Leader, Agent-In-Charge, or Executive Protection Manager has continued to evolve, it is no longer enough to just select the most experienced person assigned to the detail to fulfill those leadership roles. Whether in the public or private sector, the expectations for those in leadership positions are that he or she will not just be well versed in the nuances of providing close protection, but that they will be equally well versed in verbal and written communication, personnel management strategies, the efficient and effective integration of technology, the legal considerations for providing protection, and a myriad of other critical leadership functions.
