Of the many talented mentors I've had throughout my career, BG Marty Schweitzer has had the most formative influence in shaping the leader I am today. As my battalion commander in the 82nd Airborne Division, "Coach" personally invested in our development and taught us how to fight. He took us to our first combat deployment, showed us how to aggressively pursue the enemy, and exemplified the direct, honest leadership that so many Soldiers and leaders admire.
In this chat, BG Schweitzer shares the heart of the leadership approach that made him so successful and dishes out a ton of lessons for leaders of all ranks. He talks mentorship, risk, combat, candid self-assessment, and family sacrifice. This is no-frills, thick skin leadership advice that will inspire you to raise the bar on your own leadership.
Thanks for listening and "Get After It!"
