Living in an equivocal high-risk daily environment, Colonel Taylor’s views the role of leadership around defining what the requirements are, and how to cultivate trust among your team to solve seemingly impossible tasks.
As you dive into this episode of the AoC, you will gain the understanding that the role of effective leadership is to develop, craft, and maintain a culture of trust based on humility. In fact, Colonel Taylor went as far to say …
