Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front
Bonus Episode: 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.
In this special Bonus episode, Scott and I will talk about how we can be the most extraordinary leaders possible.
