Leadership Greater Topeka: Thomas Bronaugh

TK: What was your first job and what did you learn from it? 
One of my first jobs in high school was working at the old Gage 4 theaters on SW Huntoon.  I worked for Carlos Gomez, who was the General Manager at the time.  Over the years I have looked back that that experience and Mr. Gomez’s leadership style and realized he was one of the best leaders I have ever had the pleasure of  working  with.  

TK: What is the best advice you have received?Don’t wait for opportunities to drop in your lap.  Move your lap to where opportunities are dropping.

TK: What is the most important characteristic that every leader should possess? Why? In my opinion, integrity is the most important characteristic every leader should have.  In law enforcement, it is the basis of community trust and the foundation on which all other qualities are built.  Integrity applies to all other professions in much the same way.
