Dr. Mark Esper, Former U.S. Secretary of Defense — Keep the mission in mind
Manage episode 382776733 series 2782630
Today’s guest is Dr. Mark Esper, who served as the 27th United States Secretary of Defense.
He has spent his whole life in military service, and he is proof positive that we can accomplish amazing things when we stay focused on the mission.
If you’re like most leaders, you’re dealing with a million details a day. It’s far too easy to take your eye off the bigger goals you’re working toward.
This conversation with Mark will remind you why it’s vital to stay focused on the mission. It’s how you bring a team together and navigate situations where people don’t see eye to eye.
And Mark knows a thing or two about that after his time in the Trump administration, when he and the President weren’t always aligned. If you’ve ever disagreed with your boss (and, let’s be honest, who hasn’t?!), then you’re going to love these insights.
You’ll also learn:
- Practical insights for anyone who doesn’t see eye to eye with their boss
- Why every leader needs to understand history
- One strategy to try if you need to boost innovation
- How to unify a group of people, even if they’re from different walks of life
- The best way to deflate a big ego
As we observe Veterans Day this Saturday, November 11th, this episode is dedicated to all the brave men and women of our military who serve and sacrifice on behalf of our great country. From all of us at How Leaders Lead, thank you for your service.
