In this episode, we discuss the difference between leadership capital and leadership tolerance. We cover topics such as: 

• shift expectations
• officer responsibilities

• whether or not to allow company patches on your dress uniform

With a focus on practical advice and real-life examples, we draw upon the experience of our mentors and our own leadership challenges to offer valuable insights for leaders at any stage of their career.
