Veteran Joe Sanchez writes in Talent Culture of four leadership lessons he took away from his experience in the military.

  • Emphasize the importance of communications
    Sanchez tells leaders to encourage candid discussion. He writes, “Communicating the ‘Why’ is just as important, if not more so, than the “How.'”
  • Develop talent, grow leaders
    Mentor up-and-coming leaders.
  • Value learning
    Cross-train employees. Sanchez writes, “This will enable them to see the bigger picture and understand the ‘Why.'”
