Where Is The Trust?
If you are asked to sign a waiver by your leadership, chances are you being asked to accept full responsibility for your actions. But does your leadership have faith that you can take the right actions, or are actions being decided for you due to lack of trust? In this episode, I share my personal thoughts on how a perceived lack of trust within a team is actually damaging morale and building a false sense of comfort.

How Can You Solve A Puzzle Without All The Pieces?
Leaders and Followers that strive for transparency and understanding have the foundational elements of an efficient team. In this episode, I cover the challenges of the “interpretation games”, which is when leadership only provides partial information to a problem and yet you are responsible for providing a full solution. This problem plagues hierarchy-based organizations like the Air Force, and I share my thoughts on how to overcome them both as a leader and a follower.

Doubt is a universal human feeling that we all encounter at some point, and I am no exception.

And then I punched that doubt in the throat.
