Leadership, when it counts, is less about bravado, more about belief. Major Dick Winters was a highly respected leader known for his calm, decisive, and principled approach to leadership. Major Winters was a man who led with conviction, composure, and quiet strength through some of World War II’s fiercest battles. His leadership wasn’t loud—it was principled, even when under fire.
As the commander of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, he led his men through some of the most intense battles of World War II, including D-Day, Operation Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge. Major Winter's leadership style was built on leading from the front, earning respect through competence and character, and fostering teamwork and trust.
Simply put, leadership isn't defined in the calm—it’s forged in the storm.
Join Rich and Maikel as we explore what it means to lead when it counts, and how Winters’ legacy offers a timeless blueprint for today’s executives navigating the fog of uncertainty on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
