Top Gun Governance: Leading Through Uncertainty

What if the biggest threat to your organization isn't the crisis you see coming, but the one you can't? Derek M. Stevens—consultant, author, and former programmer—joins People of Distinction to unpack Top Gun Governance, a radical rethink of leadership built on military-grade situational awareness. Drawing lessons from the 2008 financial crash, COVID, and fighter squadron doctrine, Derek explains why "gradual, then sudden" collapse is the pattern every leader must learn to spot before it's too late. This conversation will change how you think about risk, adaptation, and what it really means to lead in an unpredictable world.
