Scott ‘Shalom’ Klein: Lessons I Learned From My Military Experience about How To Survive And Thrive During A Time Of Crisis

I think about the Army’s 8 step troop leading procedures (TLPs). They are Receive the Mission, Issue a Warning Order, Make a Tentative Plan, Initiate Movement, Conduct Reconnaissance, Complete the Plan, Issue the Order and Supervise, Inspect and Refine.

In this interview series, we are exploring the subject of dealing with crisis and how to adapt and overcome. The context of this series is the physical and financial fallout that resulted from the COVID 19 pandemic. Crisis management is one characteristic that many successful leaders share in common, and in many cases it is the most important trait necessary to survive and thrive in today’s complex market.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Scott (Shalom) Klein.
