On April 15th, 2013, the largest domestic terrorist incident since the 9/11 attack hit the city of Boston and the surrounding communities. Two bombs were detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring an estimated 264 others. What ensued was one of the largest and most complex tactical responses in the history of civilian law enforcement, involving an unprecedented shut-down of the city, multi-community collaboration, a pioneering use of social media to identify suspects as well as gun battles, car chases and further bombings.  It was an intense and harrowing man-hunt for the two terrorist responsible, ultimately ending in the successful capture of the one remaining suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. It could not have been accomplished without the thousands of well-trained law enforcement personnel and the astonishing assistance of civilians, but at the middle of it all was one figure, tying everything together – Boston Police Chief Daniel Linskey.  And preparations for such a response began years earlier, under his direction. Chief Linskey joins me today on Remarkably Human Radio to discuss the lessons learned from the Boston Marathon Bombing. I recently had an opportunity to meet Chief Linskey at an event that we were both presenting at, and his 2-plus hour keynote was an intense ride.  Simultaneously inspirational and terrifying, I laugh quite a bit as a result of his good humor and expert comedic timing, and cried my eyes out with his equally expert ability to tell stories that tug at one’s heart strings.  But most of all, I learned some phenomenal lessons in being extraordinary. Chief Linskey’s talk was entitled Leadership Lessons from the Boston Marathon Bombing, but they go far beyond leadership.  They are life lessons that we can all benefit from, and on this episode he shares them with the Remarkably Human community.
