Special Encore Show – The Eye of the Storm: Leadership During Crises – with guest Jeff Buchanan

Our world is becoming increasingly “VUCA”—volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous — every day. 

The leaders who understand and prepare for changes in their environment and who fight to learn will be the ones who excel, while those who ignore these evolutions are doomed to mediocrity or failure.

So, are you ready to excel?

My guest Jeff Buchanan as a lieutenant general, commanded the US Army North (Fifth Army), and after a 37-year Army career, retired from active duty in September 2019.  He expertly led both Soldiers and civilians in complex combat and humanitarian operations all around the world.  Jeff has appeared on numerous national and international television shows on all the major US networks (CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, CSPAN).  He has been interviewed and quoted in more than 50 newspapers including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, the LA Times, and USA Today. AP, AFP, Reuters, the BBC, and Al Jazeera have all sought his expertise and quoted him. 

Join us for this special encore episode as we explore leading in the eye of the storm with a special  guest whose great experience, wisdom and humility brings great clarity and insight.
