Battleground Chats - Craig Goldberg & Jack Salkild

In this episode of Battleground Chats, I sit down with Jack Salkild (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacksalkild/), a former paramedic turned risk and resilience expert. Jack shares his journey from working with New South Wales Ambulance to his current role at Battleground, highlighting the critical lessons learned along the way. We delve into the importance of decision-making under pressure and the HALT factors—hungry, angry, late, and tired—that can impair judgment. Jack also emphasizes the value of checklists in high-stakes environments, drawing parallels between aviation and medicine. Join us as we explore how these insights translate into effective crisis management and resilience planning. (As mentioned in the podcast: https://atulgawande.com/book/the-checklist-manifesto/)
