Douglas MacArthur: Lead in the Trenches without Hubris

This week we dig into the exceptional leadership of General Douglas MacArthur. This guy was amazing, but like our other case studies the last few weeks, he had one fatal flaw.

So much to learn through emulating these individuals and some things to avoid — in this case, hubris.

Teddy Roosevelt: Aggressive Leadership and then Some

Teddy Roosevelt, one of my favorite presidents, embodied leadership qualities to “get it done!”

But is it possible to be too aggressive? This week we look at where he excelled at leading and where he may have crossed the line, and we use his stories to help us on our journey.

Be great today!
