Excellent interview. As a former Army Cavalry Officer, I appreciate the perspective that Gen. Petraeus provided. I agree, Leadership is more than just instilling fear of repercussions, it is getting people to “buy into” the plan as if it was their own.
Thanks, Jeremy, for a great interview.
I’m super glad you enjoyed this Robert! If you could do me a favor and leave this as a review in Apple Podcasts i would so appreciate it!
You bet!
