What is your perception of military leadership?
Military leadership doesn’t come from rank. It also isn’t about barking orders or command & control type of authority.
Stephen Morris joins us on the podcast today to share his experience in Army Ranger School and his time training leadership in armies around the world.
I’m certain he will clear up some of your misconceptions about military leadership.
Having retired now from the Army, Stephen is teaching leadership through his company, Renowned Leadership. You can find out more about Stephen at renownedleadership.com.
