Organizations rise and fall not on talent, but on systems. In an ever-accelerating world, most people try to cope with stressful situations by working harder, reacting faster, or hoping for the best. But what you need when you’re feeling overwhelmed isn’t a white-knuckle effort; it’s a better system.
Built Bulletproof offers a universal preparation framework for handling whatever situation life might throw at you. Field-tested by Raytown, MO Chief of Police Robert J. Kuehl with over a forty-year law enforcement and leadership career, currently serving as a Chief of Police, this paradigm has been proven at the command level in crisis situations, the corporate environment, the military and everyday life. It will transform your approach to risk, decision-making, and accountability to move you out of chaos and into clarity.
You’ll learn to separate the truly important from the merely urgent, to build processes that won’t buckle under pressure, and to create a continuity of operations for yourself, your family, your team, and your organization. This isn’t a theory—it’s a system practical in any situation from leading a city through crisis to teaching a teenager to drive. Built Bulletproof is your roadmap to calm, confident leadership, professionally and personally, teaching you how to:
• find focus in complex situations.
• make better decisions under pressure.
• structure accountability without building a culture of fear.
• replace high-pressure drilling with low-stakes practice.
