How do security leaders influence people, decisions, and organizational outcomes when they don't have direct authority?
In this episode of Fortify Your Future, Ken Carrasco speaks with Christopher Stitt, a global security and leadership professional and former Supervisory Special Agent with the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service.
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience, Christopher discusses what it takes to move beyond traditional security expertise and become a trusted, business-minded leader.
They explore:
• Leading and influencing without formal authority
• Building relationships and trust across an organization
• Creating a risk-ready organizational culture
• Making decisions during uncertainty and crisis
• Preparedness versus simply having a plan
• Why leaders should bridge—not break—organizational silos
• Emotional intelligence and strategic vulnerability
• Business acumen for aspiring CSOs
• Becoming a trusted executive advisor
Christopher's message is particularly relevant for security professionals seeking greater organizational influence: understand the business, build relationships, demonstrate value, and help others accomplish their objectives.
If you're a Security Director, CSO, risk or resilience professional—or aspire to executive security leadership—this conversation is for you.
Follow Fortify Your Future with Ken Carrasco for conversations on security leadership, enterprise risk, crisis management, organizational resilience, executive protection, and the business of security.
