Applying battle-tested military principles that work when lives are on the line.

You'll discover why the most successful leaders take credit for failures while giving their teams credit for wins, how to train your people to standards (not time), and the strategic thinking frameworks used at the highest levels of military command that directly translate to boardroom success. I'm incredibly honored to have Major General Steve Maranian on the show - and I mean that. This guy is one of the most respected leaders and change agents in military history, with global defense expertise honed over 17 years in Europe, Africa, and Asia, including combat deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait. As the former Commandant of the US Army War College, Steve literally commanded and trained future world leaders while revolutionizing military education. He's currently the Commanding General of the 56th Artillery Command in Germany, where he built an entire organization from fewer than 100 soldiers to thousands, overseeing budgets and contracts worth tens of millions. Steve's the guy they call when they need someone who can build coalitions with international partners, transform organizations from the ground up, and solve the most complex leadership challenges. Trust me, what this man shares in this episode will change how you think about leadership forever.
