General Stanley A. McChrystal is a master strategist and visionary leader, the former Commander of special forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The retired four-star general led the war on terror carrying out unprecedented success against multiple high value targets significantly disrupting terrorist networks around the globe. Standby for some inspiration as we delve deep into this exceptional military mind. His development of counterinsurgency warfare transformed the way special forces work. I’m sure case studies on the strategies and techniques he cultivated will be taught at Military Academy’s and within special forces communities across the world a hundred years from now. General Stanley also the Founder AND CEO of the McCrystal Group, a leadership consulting group that specialises in teamwork and strategic planning. He’s also the best-selling author of multiple books including; My Share of the Task; Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World, Leaders: Myth and Reality, and Risk: A User’s Guide- all of which I highly recommend. In this episode we receive a masterclass in leadership, we talk President Obama and bouncing back from adversity.
