Navigating Certainty and Uncertainty in Complex Environments

Co-founders of the Mission Critical Team Institute, Dr. Preston Cline and Coleman Ruiz, are our guests in this episode of the Leadership Under Fire Optimizing Human Performance Podcast. The interview you will hear was recorded in early 2019 at a Leadership Under Fire Optimizing Human Performance Summit, in Annapolis, Maryland. The event was devoted to the concept of resilience - the ability to navigate adversity and absorb failure and loss in high-risk settings. The summit allowed leaders to explore the concept from the individual, team and organizational level as well as from a physical, mental, emotional and moral perspective. Other Resilience Summit guests included FDNY Black Sunday survivor Firefighter Brendan Cawley and Columbia University’s Dr. George Bonanno. To help listeners gain context for each summit conversation, LUF Founder Jason Brezler and podcast host Patti Murphy discussed their reflections shortly after the event.
