The Winning Playbook of Leadership: How To Prepare Our Teams To Win Battles with Colonel Blake Glass
While some leaders' fear is thinking the person behind them wants to take their job, others measure their success based on how well they've prepared their successors. As leaders, we must think it is not about training our replacement, it is about setting the conditions for the person that replaces who's replacing us.
Today, I'm thrilled to welcome a fantastic leader and great friend, Colonel Blake Glass. Colonel Glass has over 28 years of dynamic experience in the most extreme, volatile, ambiguous, and uncertain environments, making calls and leading operations in Iraq and Ukraine.
Leaning on his MBA from the University of Florida in Agricultural Business and Management and his master's degree in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College, Colonel Blake started a new path as a Land Development Manager in Pulte Group.
Tune in and listen to the fifty-ninth episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear Colonel Glass' thoughts on making decisions in high-pressure situations, what we can do in those moments when we don't know what to do, and the importance of building resilience in our teams.
