What Does Winning Look Like? The Ultimate Leadership Guide


Listen Later

How do you keep your eyes on the real prize—at home, at work, and on the battlefield? In this episode, Leif Babin and Jamie Cochran unpack the question “What does winning look like?” They show how a clear vision—backed by humility, decentralized command, and long-term thinking—guides every decision from tying your kid’s shoes to leading a company. You’ll hear stories from Gettysburg, airport counters, Iraq patrols, and board-room meetings that reveal why the best leaders teach others to solve problems instead of hoarding the spotlight. Listen through to the “Immediate Action Drill” and start defining victory for yourself and your team today.
