Hello and welcome to Franklin Covey's on leadership series.

My name is Scott Miller and I serve as your weekly host and interviewer.

Now each week we do our best to bring to you great visionaries, leaders, CEOs, thought leaders, book

authors, people with amazing stories, practical experience and insight about this topic we're

all consumed with these days called leadership and today is

no different and does not disappoint. I am humbly honored to be in the presence

with today's guest, the renowned author, military leader General Stanley McChrystal.

General, welcome to On Leadership.

Thanks for having me, Scott.

What an honor.

First, on behalf of our millions of viewers and subscribers,

we want you to know how respectful and

appreciative we are to your service to our nation and to all those who you've

led and who are still in service so thank you so humbly for your contribution to not just Americans democracy, but really continued

stability and peace around the world.

Well, you're kind and I'll spread that to all the other people.

I was honored to be alongside.

I appreciate that, General.

We have a half an hour or so together today,

so we're delighted to have you here.

We're going to talk about your newest book leadership.

Before we start with that, we'd like to talk about your own journey.
