General David Petraeus on leadership 55:30

55:30

Had the privilege of speaking with one of America's great military generals and diplomats, General David Petraeus. He's a very fascinating character, very precise in his responses. In fact prior to the podcast, he suggested I send over a draft of my questions. He totally shredded the first draft-mainly saying that questions that have "ands" in them make for poor conversation. So two drafts later, here's the finished product. I enjoyed it, and found it to be valuable, and I think anyone interested in entering leadership positions should check it out!…
