Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front
Lightning Round - The Power of Trust featuring MGen (Ret'd) Scott Clancy
I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Anishinaabeg Algonquin People.
The best part of being a podcast host is meeting extraordinary people with extraordinary ideas with extraordinary methods to help other people be, well, extraordinary. MGen (Ret’d) Scott Clancy is one of these people. His book, Developing Coaching Leaders: The Fundamentals and Techniques that Make Leaders Extraordinary, guides leaders to help everyone be dynamic.
But first, let's dive into the lightning round! These five quick questions will give you a fun peek into Scott's world. Let's see how he answers and get to know him a little better!
Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been named #7 in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts for 2025.
