William Joseph "Bill" Toti is a former US Navy captain, author, photographer, and former company executive in military technology.
He is well known for his participation in the exoneration of Captain Charles B. McVay III of the World War II cruiser USS Indianapolis (CA-35), as well as his activities on September 11, 2001, when he was in the Pentagon at the moment of the airplane crash. William is also very committed to helping military personnel to transition to a civilian career. He shares his experience and valuable insights in his book "From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership," which was published in 2022. In the conversation with William, we explore the differences between leadership in the military and in the civilian world, highlighting the importance of being adaptable to every situation and humble, especially in new environments. William underlines the importance of having a vision and sharing it with every team member, finding the right way to communicate it. His transversal experience makes him the perfect guest for this podcast and a great person to talk to. A plus for me is that coming from similar backgrounds, William and I speak the same language.

"When Leaders Talk" is about leadership and, most importantly, leaders. They will tell their stories, experiences, and leadership style. I will interview successful people coming from different environments and leading teams of diverse sizes, from big enterprises to small companies, to the individual level. We will hear their tales of how they navigate life, how they face challenges and failures, and how they lead their team. We will understand what is important to them, and what makes them strong leaders. These "masters of the sea" will take us onboard their boats to show us how they cross the ocean and reach their destination safely and successfully.
I hope this episode will make you curious enough to listen to or view the next episodes.
