3.13 Michael Sears, on Leadership Innovation in the Military, Silicon Valley, and Law

Michael Sears spent three decades as an investor and CEO in Silicon Valley after a first career as an officer in the Marine Corps, followed by law and business degrees. Now he is back at the United States Naval Academy, leading a leadership innovation lab as part of the Academy’s continuing requirement that all midshipmen advance through a curriculum in leadership, ethics, and law. His distinctive background offers fertile ground for reflection in this episode, on cross-pollination among cultures and practices of tech innovation, military service, and the legal profession.
