Ep 593: Good Humans Make Great Leaders | Jody Fletcher on Real Leadership

Send us Fan Mail Jody Fletcher is back on Ones Ready with Trent to talk about his new book, Good Humans Make Great Leaders. Jody is a retired Command Master Chief who spent most of his career in the reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations community as a Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman, or SARC. In this episode, Trent and Jody dig into what leadership actually means, why being a good person does not automatically make someone a good leader, and why so many organizations promote people without ever teaching them how to lead. They also talk about self-awareness, emotional intelligence, parenting, hard conversations, imposter syndrome, building trust, setting expectations, and why the first person you have to lead is the person in the mirror. If you are preparing for Air Force Special Warfare, serving in the military, leading a team, raising kids, or trying to become a better human before chasing a bigger title, this one is worth your time. Jody Fletcher’s book, Good Humans Make Great Leaders, releases July 14 and is available for preorder on Amazon.
