How I Lost Credibility with One Command

When Trevor Crunelle stepped onto his first Navy ship as a fresh-faced officer, he was ready to lead. What he wasn’t ready for? Making a snap decision that nearly sank his credibility with his senior team.

In this episode, Trevor shares a pivotal UH-OH moment from early in his military career, when pulling rank felt right, but ultimately backfired. We talk through the fallout, the leadership repair work that followed, and how that hard-earned lesson shaped the calm, coach-driven leadership style he’s known for today.

Trevor also opens up about:

• Why asking “why?” can backfire and what to ask instead
• How gardening from seed surprisingly mirrors leadership growth
• The power of DISC and consistent self-reflection
• Knowing when to pivot versus when to push through

Whether you're climbing the leadership ladder or helping others do the same, this conversation is a masterclass in humility, growth, and getting it right after getting it wrong.
