Achieving Success at the Tactical and Strategic Level of Leadership - a podcast by LCI Academy

On this episode of The Lippert Built to Lead Podcast, John Vermeesch, a director of leadership development, speaks with Major General John Richardson, currently serving as the commanding general of the Army’s First Cavalry Division. Major General Richardson shares what has inspired and contributed to his success as a leader. He talks about how he creates a cohesive team founded in trust and an environment that allows everyone to excel. He also discusses how he adapts to lead at the enterprise level.

 

“This idea of adaptability was this next big focus, I guess you would say, for me and for my philosophy on leadership. So now, it really boiled down to two things for me: building cohesive teams and adaptability, creating adaptive leaders and really adaptive organizations. The common denominator between those two is mutual trust.” -Major General John Richardson [16:02]
