What 20 Years in the Marine Corps Taught Me About Leadership With Emer Sanabria

from Keep The Change · host Bart Nollenberger

Be honest, when's the last time someone actually challenged how you lead? Not your strategy. Not your numbers. You.I didn't know Emer Sanabria before we sat down. Michael Cillo told me I had to talk to him. Within minutes I understood exactly why.Emer spent 20 years in the Marine Corps. He's seen chaos most people can't imagine. And somewhere in the middle of all of it he learned something that changed everything about how he leads, in business, in faith, and at home.In this episode we get into what it really means to set the temperature when everything around you is falling apart. We talk about the difference between telling people what to do and actually leading them. Emer shares a story that involves nothing but a broom and silence, and it's one of the most powerful leadership lessons I've ever heard. We also go somewhere personal toward the end that I wasn't expecting and I'm so glad we did.This one is going to make you think about how you show up. For your team. For your family. For yourself.Enjoying the show?
