Leading With Righteous Resolve

I loved the new season opener of FBI: International last night. I am going to miss Agent Forrester (Luke Kleintank), but as a Chicago P.D. fan I also love the Fly Team’s newest member, Jesse Lee Soffer, as Supervisory Special Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell. At the end of the Season 4 premiere, Mitchell told Special Agent Cameron Vo (Vinessa Vidotto) that he loved her “righteous resolve.” He told her to never lose it because it was hard to get back.

This really made me think about what having “righteous resolve” means. I believe it is about having a strong determination to do what is morally right or just, even in the face of challenges or adversity. It embodies a commitment to ethical principles and a conviction to pursue justice, truth, or fairness.

Here are some key aspects of righteous resolve:

Moral Conviction: It stems from a deep-seated belief in what is right or wrong, guiding us to take action that align with our values.
Courage: Righteous resolve often requires courage, as standing up for what is right may involve facing opposition, criticism, or personal sacrifice.
Persistence: It involves a steadfast commitment to pursue goals or ideals, even when the path is difficult or the outcome uncertain.
Inspiration: Acts of righteous resolve can inspire others to take similar stands, fostering a collective movement towards positive change.
Social Justice: Often associated with activism, righteous resolve can drive efforts to address social injustices and advocate for the marginalized or oppressed.

FBI: International always reminds me of the complexity of ethical decision-making. Navigating complex moral dilemmas, making choices that reflect our values is not always easy or straightforward. We need reminding that prioritizing ethical considerations over personal safety or career advancement is sometimes where our moral compass points us.
