I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin · The cost of survival: Mark Wales Pt. 2 · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

I think the best leaders were just good men or women that you wanted to work for and just had a clear understanding of what to do.

Well, I could talk about how we didn't do it well in Afghanistan.

Yeah.

So at the tactical level, we're pretty good at that but –

I think when it came to the bigger beast of strategy, maybe, you know, you'd need to challenge that more.

Oh, so that came from – that was very much McKinsey and Company.

Yeah.

So they were utterly ruthless about –

use of time.

Their focus was all on speed.

They were all like, we need to introduce these mechanisms, whether it's cost savings or a revenue task, whatever it was, it needs to be introduced immediately.

Because if it's a million dollar task over every year, every month you delay, it's worth $80,000.

Right.

So they're like, when you organize a meeting, you better have the right people there.

If you don't have a very clear problem solving statement for it.

Yeah.

And a very clear output will tell you once.

And if you do it again, you'll be sacked.

Right.

Okay.
