“Leadership is not a talent or a gift. It’s a choice. It’s not complex, but it’s very hard.”, General Stanley McChrystal explains to a packed auditorium of 600 at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. McChrystal shares his perspective on leadership and influence discussing the importance of understanding culture, leading by example, building trust, and creating a common goal within a team.
Excellent. I love posting this stuff, and sound leadership concepts is of great importance to this industry. So sit back and check out this outstanding 51 minute video of a talk McChrystal did at Stanford. For those who are overseas that are not able to watch youtube videos like this because of restrictions or bandwidth issues, I am sorry you are not able to view this stuff. But this post will be here when you get home, so definitely check it out along with the other videos I have posted when you can. –Matt
Fantastic, I love his talks. I just finished reading an eBook called "The Command" that talked a bit about this concept developing with McRaven.
