What does it take to lead in a world of constant change, mistrust in institutions, and rapidly shifting teams? Retired U.S. Army General James "Spider" Marks returns to Step Wise for Part 2 of his candid and hard-earned leadership wisdom.
In this episode, Spider and host Dr. Foster Mobley dive into the challenges today’s leaders face—building trust with Gen Z, adapting to dynamic team environments, embracing contrarian voices, and leading with vulnerability. From combat strategy to corporate culture, Spider shares the leadership principles that remain constant, even when everything else changes.
Whether you're a CEO, entrepreneur, executive coach, or emerging leader, this episode is filled with actionable advice and powerful mindset shifts that will reshape how you lead.
