My guest today is Chris, a young officer in 2004 when the conflict in Iraq started. This was his first full scale conflict. He had the misconception that there was a set plan going in, and that all they had to do was execute that plan. Chris quickly learned he wasn’t entering a stable environment. Everyone needed to be proactive and adaptive to the war zone. 

The topic is his book One Mission: How Leaders Build a Team of Teams.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Nature vs. Nurture
• Inner drive
• Self-awareness
• Charisma
• Learning from failure
• Synchronicity between data and leadership
• Zealots and martyrs
