Linda Reid's presentation highlighted the importance of inspiring teams with a shared mission, stating, "If they don't feel it, they won't detect it." She emphasized that without belief in their purpose, a team cannot effectively perform their duties and that employees are often the best deterrents against security threats.
The panel discussions revealed struggles in leadership during global crises, particularly reflecting on events like the Israel-Gaza conflict. These discussions showcased how some universities suffered leadership changes due to their failed responses to campus turmoil during such crises.
In a conversation about toxic leadership, a young security professional shared a troubling experience: "A superior told me I would never advance because I'm too valuable in my current role." This mindset, he noted, is detrimental to retaining talented employees.
Reid underscored the necessity of aligning missions with the company's core values by stating, "We have to give them a reason to believe," which highlights how essential motivating employees is in creating effective security operations.
