Description

Separating Black Swans from Black Elephants!
Problems today are more complex and more multi-faceted than ever before. 
In order to just make it through the next few years, you and I already need problem-solving skills that are likely far beyond what we’ve been applying. Problem-solving demands a level of thinking that is far beyond black and white solutions. There is context, complexity, nuance, and agility required. But how can you step into that level of leadership? The answer is, we must learn to think about thinking.   

Let’s find out how. Our guest for the next two episodes is (ret) Commander David Sears who served 20 years of active military duty within the United States Special Operations Command as a U.S. Navy SEAL officer. David served on multiple east coast SEAL Teams, Naval Special Warfare Development Group, Joint Commands, and Headquarters USSOCOM. Today, David is a leadership speaker, the Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Xundis Global, an independent consultant, and the author of Smarter Not Harder: 17 Navy SEAL Maxims to Elevate Critical Thinking and Prosper in Business and Life.
