They discuss whether the military values lived experience and promotion from within, while some civilian companies tend to prioritise external recruitment and experience. During the conversation, Jack discusses the importance of recognising individual reactions to stress and burnout, and how military leadership skills can be applied in civilian environments. He also mentions the leaders acronym and the importance of values-based leadership in both military and civilian settings. Listen to this conversation where they discuss the importance of humility in leadership, particularly in the military.
