Podcasts about military leadership

Despite the fact that so many of them make it look easy, the daily lives of senior U.S. military leaders can be incredibly demanding. Laura Weimer examined how senior leaders manage their well-being (or, at times, struggle to do so) amidst these demanding careers, and she's in the studio with host JP Clark to share her discoveries. Drawing from her research, Weimer highlighted the unique pressures of senior roles, including frequent relocations, intense scrutiny, and the weight of consequential decisions. She also discussed the inevitable challenges of mid-life, such as caring for aging parents and navigating evolving family dynamics, which compound work-related stress. Weimer's key takeaway? Developing a strong sense of identity, meaning, and purpose is essential for fostering resilience and sustaining leadership effectiveness. I don't know if necessarily it's the Army's job to help us figure out our identity. I do think it would be valuable for the Army to acknowledge the value of those conversations and maybe even prompt those conversations.

In this fiery monologue, the host discusses the Biden-era technical issues before diving into a sweeping critique of U.S. military leadership, alleging a Marxist purge initiated under President Obama and celebrating recent moves by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to reduce high-ranking officers. The segment frames these cuts as a reversal of ideological corruption within the Pentagon and ties them to broader concerns about censorship, constitutional rights, and the military's role on American soil.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on new cuts in military leadership.

Effective leadership rests on more than theory and best intentions—it's forged in the fires of real-world experience, tested by adversity, and honed through honest reflection.

Understanding the bedrock principles that drive elite teams—and adapting those lessons for the civilian world—can be the difference between stagnation and lasting success. This episode explores five hard-earned truths drawn directly from military leadership, refined over decades of leading diverse teams in high-stakes environments. These principles go beyond standard management advice, focusing on what truly empowers people, creates psychological safety, and establishes cultures of trust and accountability. Listeners will discover how to move past common leadership pitfalls, drive clarity around mission and vision, foster trust, embrace the necessity of owning outcomes, and transform mistakes into meaningful learning opportunities.

Introduction Four years ago, I commissioned as an Officer in the UK's Royal Navy. I had been engaging with EA for four years before that and chose this career as a coherent part of my impact-focused career plan, and I stand by that decision. Early next year, I will leave the Navy. This article is a round-up of why I made my choices, how I think military careers can sensibly align with an EA career, and the theories of impact I considered along the way that don't hold water. Military service won't be the right call for most in this community, but it could be for some. Hopefully, this is informative for those people. Furthermore, I spent a whole year being trained in leadership. Someone I met at an EAGx conference said the offhand nugget of Military Leadership 101 wisdom I gave them was the "best advice I received [...] --- First published: April 10th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/f6XmkJ9PWFfn9GvqD/ea-reflections-on-my-military-career --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

In today's conversation Judith Germain speaks to Neil Jurd OBE who contrasts overly complicated leadership frameworks and emphasises the importance of simplicity. Judith notes the value of leaders being able to create space for their teams to contribute. Key Takeaways Neil emphasises simplifying leadership into two key concepts: connection (building relationships) and direction (clear, compelling purpose) Both agree leaders must genuinely care about followers and enable everyone to contribute, not just dominate Over-controlling and micromanaging are common leadership mistakes; allowing space for others to think/decide is crucial In this conversation, they discuss common leadership mistakes, with Neil highlighting the tendency for leaders to get overly involved and micromanage, rather than empowering their teams. The antidote is for leaders to step back, allow others to think and decide, and focus on inspiring and aligning the team around the shared purpose.  Neil Jurd OBE is the author of the Leadership Book and founder of leadership training organisation and online leadership streaming platform Leader Connect.

What's behind Donald Trump's obsession with Greenland? Most of the island is covered in ice, less than sixty thousand people live there and, until recently, it was best known for snowy photos of polar bears. But climate change has changed the equation and thrust the island into the middle of global politics. Donald Trump has repeatedly said he'd like to buy the territory, and last week at a news conference he said that taking military action to acquire it was not off the table. Sherri Goodman is secretary general of the International Military Council on Climate and Security. She is also a senior fellow at the Wilson Center and author of a new book, “Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security.” 

Summary President-elect Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, appears before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Hegseth, a veteran, author and former Fox News host, faced tough questions on his personal and professional record. Jenna breaks down the three key takeaways of this four-hour hearing. Takeaways The Secretary of Defense is a historically significant role. The hearing revealed deep partisan divides in questioning. Hegseth's non-traditional background was acknowledged. Allegations against Hegseth became a focal point for Democrats. Republicans emphasized the military's culture and Hegseth's Christianity. Strategic questions about national security were largely overlooked. The confirmation process is likely to follow party lines. 00:00 The Importance of the Secretary of Defense - Did you know it was known as the Secretary of War? 02:28 Hearing Highlights: Party Lines and Allegations 05:57 - Character and Culture in Military Leadership 07:43 - Oversights in the Hearing 8:59 - Next Steps for Pete Hegseth's Nomination SUPPORT OUR MISSION     If you'd like to help support SmartHER News' mission of a free, independent, nonpartisan press – here's how you can become a SCOOP insider: https://www.scoop.smarthernews.com/get-the-inside-scoop/     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smarthernews/  Website: https://smarthernews.com/  YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/smarthernews

   Join us for an insightful conversation with retired Army LTC Darcie Greuel, RN an esteemed Army nurse and recipient of the Henry M. Jackson Foundation's Hero of Military Medicine Award. Darcie recounts her remarkable journey from enlisting in the Army Reserve during high school to becoming a commissioned officer in the Army Nurse Corps. She shares her motivations rooted in patriotism and the desire to fund her college education and reflects on overcoming her initial fears of the medical field to discover a lifelong passion for nursing. A pivotal moment in her career was her 2003 deployment to Afghanistan, where she served at the 452 Combat Support Hospital, profoundly influencing her future career decisions.       This episode also explores Darcie's transformative experiences on humanitarian missions to remote areas in third-world countries. Hear about the profound impact of providing medical care to populations with little to no prior healthcare access and the deep sense of fulfillment from these missions. Darcie shares personal anecdotes about overcoming language barriers, delivering essential health education, and how these experiences prepared military medics for deployment and wartime scenarios. The importance of global health engagements for their educational value and the purpose they provide is underscored throughout the conversation.      Additionally, Darcie reflects on her military leadership and training, the transition from enlisted service to commissioned officer, and her experiences leading a COVID-19 response team. She discusses the challenges faced by veterans transitioning from military service and the vital support systems in place to aid them. Darcie's participation in the Honor Flight program and her reflections on a 40-year career in the Army Reserve offer listeners a comprehensive look at the rewards and challenges of a military nursing career. Tune in to hear about the lasting impact of teamwork, leadership, and the honor of serving one's country.   Chapters: (00:04) Military Nursing Career Highlights (13:25) Global Health Engagements for the Military (20:28) Military Officer Leadership and Training (34:46) Military COVID-19 Response and Leadership (44:15) Veteran Transition Support and Resources (49:56) Honor Flight Program Experiences and Advice (57:51) Military Career Reflections and Legacy   Chapter Summaries: (00:04) Military Nursing Career Highlights   Retired Army nurse Darcie Greuel shares her journey from joining the military to her deployment in Afghanistan.   (13:25) Global Health Engagements for the Military    Participating in humanitarian missions to remote areas provides transformative experiences, prepares for deployment, and offers unique learning opportunities.   (20:28) Military Officer Leadership and Training    Deployment enhanced skills, bridged knowledge gaps, commanded a unit, and emphasized effective delegation and leadership.   (34:46) Military COVID-19 Response and Leadership    Transitioning from VA to COVID-19 response team, leading 452nd Field Hospital, and collaboration with civilian medical entities.   (44:15) Veteran Transition Support and Resources    Challenges faced by transitioning veterans, need for support, connecting with VA services and community, and program manager's experiences.   (49:56) Honor Flight Program Experiences and Advice    Night shift nursing, Honor Flight program, connecting with veterans, lasting bonds, honoring service, intergenerational connections.   (57:51) Military Career Reflections and Legacy    Military service offers education, leadership training, and unique missions, with a sense of pride and camaraderie, and support from colleagues and family.   Take Home Messages: Patriotism and Education Drive Military Service:    - Joining the military can be motivated by a sense of patriotism and the practical need to fund one's education. These initial motivations can lead to discovering unexpected career passions, such as nursing. Humanitarian Missions as Training Grounds:    - Participating in humanitarian missions in underserved and remote regions offers invaluable training for military medical personnel. These experiences not only provide critical medical care to those in need but also prepare medics for the realities of deployment and combat scenarios. Leadership and Transition:    - Transitioning from an enlisted service member to a commissioned officer involves significant training and a shift in responsibilities. Effective delegation, planning, and leadership are crucial skills that are developed through various command roles and military experiences. Veteran Support Systems:    - The transition from military service to civilian life can be challenging for veterans, particularly those who are medically retired or discharged. Comprehensive support systems, including collaboration between military units and the Department of Veterans Affairs, are essential for providing resources, education, and care to transitioning veterans. Honoring Military Service:    - Programs like the Honor Flight are vital in recognizing and celebrating the service of veterans from different wars. These experiences foster lasting connections between generations of military service members and provide much-needed recognition, especially for those who may not have received it upon returning home.   Episode Keywords: Military Nursing, Army Reserve, Deployment, Afghanistan, Humanitarian Missions, Global Health, Military Officer, Leadership, COVID-19 Response, Veteran Transition, Honor Flight, Military Career, Army Nurse Corps, Medical Care, Military Medicine, Military Deployment, Military Training, Military Leadership, Military Veteran Support, Military Legacy   Hashtags: #MilitaryNursing, #ArmyReserve, #Deployment, #Afghanistan, #HumanitarianMissions, #GlobalHealth, #MilitaryOfficer, #Leadership, #COVID-19Response, #VeteranTransition, #HonorFlight, #MilitaryCareer, #ArmyNurseCorps, #MedicalCare, #MilitaryMedicine, #MilitaryDeployment, #MilitaryTraining, #MilitaryLeadership, #MilitaryVeteranSupport, #MilitaryLegacy   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

Back in 2012, the Department of Defense issued a first-of-its-kind “Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap.” It was designed to prepare the U.S. military for increasing threats to national security in the form of rising sea levels, increasing global temperatures, and growing conflicts over basic resources like food and water. It stated that “Climate change is expected to play a significant role in the DOD's ability to fulfill its mission in the future.” Fast-forward to today, and Sherri Goodman says the DOD now sees combating climate change as central to its mission.    Sherri was appointed the first-ever deputy undersecretary of defense focusing on environmental security. One of her first assignments was cleaning up nuclear weapons development and production sites. And in 1998, she helped develop the military's first climate change plan, focused mainly on reducing emissions. This week, host Bill Loveless talks with Sherri about her latest book, “Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security.” Sherri explains how far the military's approach to climate change has come over the past 25 years.  Sherri is secretary general of the International Military Council on Climate and Security and a senior fellow at the Wilson Center.

On today's episode, Sherri Goodman, the Secretary General of the International Military Council on Climate & Security and the first Deputy Undersecretary of Defense (Environmental Security) joins Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien to talk about Sherri's new book, “Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security.”They discuss Sherri's career in climate security, beginning at the Senate Armed Services Committee before “climate security” entered the lexicon. From there, they trace Sherri's career educating a generation of military leaders about the nexus between climate change and national security and coining the phrase “threat multiplier,” helping to usher in a paradigm shift at the Pentagon. Sherri addresses skeptics wary of a perceived tradeoff between military readiness and greening the military, as well as others who warn against “securitizing” climate change. Finally, they look ahead, as Sherri lays out her four main pillars of climate action (mitigation and adaptation) and institutional reform (awareness and alliance building).To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
