In my conversation with SOFREP senior editor and SOFREP Radio host Steve Balestrieri, I talk about how “False Authority” occurs when someone who is a subject matter expert in one area uses that authority to also claim expertise in an area outside of their realm. This ‘safety trap’ is especially prevalent in the emergency response plans of schools, offices, and organizations where the collective “accountability” is often prioritized above individual “survivability.”
Protective take-away:
When people who are not professional protectors are telling you what to do to protect yourself, ask if what they are telling you to do is in YOUR best interest…or in theirs?
