What happens when the leadership ethos of Navy SEALs meets the challenges of the modern workplace?

We unravel how trust and integrity serve as a leader's foundational blocks and why high performers can falter if promoted without proper guidance. Rob examines the dangers of misplaced trust in business decisions and the pitfalls of promoting based on tenure.
