We often see leadership portrayed as grand strategies and sweeping decisions made in corner offices.But the true power of leadership lies not at the top of the pyramid, but on the ground, in the everyday interactions between team members and leaders.Today, we speak with Scott Mann, a retired Green Beret who led elite teams under intense pressure in some of the world's most complex conflict zones.His experiences in Afghanistan and other conflict zones shed light on leadership dynamics that translate powerfully to the world of business.He shares his profound insights on forging unbreakable trust, leading through chaos, and why the success of any organization hinges on the strength of relationships at the local level.Some of the lessons he shared:✅ Why "social capital" could be your most valuable asset, especially in tough times.✅ How to lead a high-performance team without burning yourself out (Scott's personal battle with PTSD offers a powerful lesson).✅ The surprising power of vulnerability: Why pretending to have all the answers can backfire on leaders.✅ Practical tips for building strong connections with your local team members, even if you're managing remotely.Listen to part 1 of the conversation to learn strategies you can implement immediately to become a more impactful and inspiring leader!
