Know and build on strengths – The Mentors Radio

Talent + Leadership = Victory. That’s as true on the battlefield as it is in business. In this episode, Host Tom Loarie talks with George Randle, a former U.S. Army Company Commander and Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition at Forcepoint, one of the nation’s premier cyber-security firms. Among many other exceptional talent acquisition and leadership feats, Randle recently teamed up with Mike Sarraile, a retired Navy Seal and CEO of a top executive search firm, to co-author one of the best guides to hiring ever written: “The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent” (find a link to this book in our Show Notes). The benefits to your business or nonprofit team by hiring the best talent to suit your team’s needs exceed imagination. You’ll learn why. Randle talks about what he means by referring to “the war on talent.” You’ll also learn the Nine Core Character Attributes of a NAVY SEAL, and why these attributes provide a solid foundation for great organizations and great businesses, large or small.

In this episode, United States Air Force Captain and Chaplain Thomas Foley talks with Host Tom Loarie (pictured) on leadership that makes a difference. Captain Foley knows, first-hand, what it takes to be a leader of conviction and courage, to stand up for ethics that make a difference for oneself and for others. He knows, and he has dedicated his life to guiding others, especially those who chose to serve in the military, putting their lives on the lines for a cause greater than themselves when called to do so. The same leadership principles he knows well, are evident in business leaders who stand out, make a difference, influence others for the good.
