Summary

My guest today is Chris, a young officer in 2004 when the conflict in Iraq started. This was his first full scale conflict. He had the misconception that there was a set plan going in, and that all they had to do was execute that plan. Chris quickly learned he wasn’t entering a stable environment. Everyone needed to be proactive and adaptive to the war zone.

The topic is his book One Mission: How Leaders Build a Team of Teams.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Nature vs. Nurture
Inner drive
Self-awareness
Charisma
Learning from failure
Synchronicity between data and leadership
Zealots and martyrs
