136 - It's All About The Relationship With Jack McGuinness

“It takes two flints to make a fire.” – Louisa May Alcott Relationships are to leadership as bread is to a sandwich....it's what keeps it all together.  However, it today's busy world we tend to focus in on the relationship first and, instead, focus in on the mission. On this episode, I get to talk to fellow military leader and retiree, Jack McGuinness.  Jack is a West Point graduate and learned much of his leadership trade in the trenches (like I did) with other military people.  Jack and I talk about teamwork and leadership relationships this week and I know you're going to dig our conversation as much as I did.   CHEERS!
