A Conversation about How The Police got it right (no, not them …)

This conversation is not about the “people in blue” or those who “patrol the streets in their black and whites”. I’m referring to the other Police.

Right, the band! You know, Sting and company (if you don’t know who they are, pop over here for a moment to hear/watch “Every Little Thing”).

These Police were on to something when they put out the song Spritis in the Material World. Sure, it leans into the political, but it’s deeper than that.

It’s deeper because we are spirits in a material world! I can’t attest to the quote attributed to Sting about the song noted here, but the point is that whatever the present situation, moving further down our path involves transcending our condition.

How do we do that? And also, what value does it have to leadership practice (or any other, for that matter)?

First we must get to know ourselves, to understand our core, our Center, our us-ness. How our us-ness is connected or similar to the traits found not just in people, but traits that are interwoven within every living creature.

How it relates to our outward lived experience, both personally and professionally, is another conversation. We’ll take that up as we continue down the path.

From Recon to cReative

This site isn’t new. But it is different.

What once lived here as Reconnoiter Leadership has grown into something more layered, more inward-facing, more alive.

It’s now called cReative Leadership — and it holds space for those who lead with vision, soul, reflection, and resilience. For those who move sideways before forward. For those who think deeply, feel fully, and refuse to flatten themselves to fit the mold.

If that sounds like you, I hope you’ll stay.

I’ll be sharing thoughts, tools, metaphors, and animal companions for this kind of leadership. Not a model, but a way. Not a fix, but a reframe.

You can learn more about the roots of cReative Leadership here, or simply follow along. I’m glad you’re here.
