Elevate Your Leadership

Congressional candidate and retired US Navy Captain Hung Cao discusses his journey from Vietnamese refugee to a recently retired 25-year Navy Special Operations Officer. Hung's personal story is compelling. He shares his critical concepts of leadership including the importance of being decisive, being humble, and recognizing that we answer to the people we lead. Hung discusses how wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it, and right is right, even if no one is doing it. I love Hung's reference to Ronald Reagan's observation that you can go to Germany, but you will never be German, you can go to France, but you will never be French, but you can come to America, and you will become an American.
