What happened

Jessica Tisch did not set out with a grand plan to become commissioner of the New York Police Department, the largest police force in the United States.

Why it matters

By her own account, her entry into public service was almost accidental.

Common ground

"I wish I could tell you an honest story about a calling I had to work in public service, but that's not the case," she told CNBC's Julia Boorstin at the CNBC Changemakers Summit in New York City on April 16.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
