Proactive Leadership in Crisis

This chapter emphasizes the critical role of leaders in tackling problems head-on instead of passing them on to others. It draws on historical examples, such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and military operations, to illustrate how effective leadership involves personal engagement, accountability, and strategic preparation. Through anecdotes and principles like 'sua sponte', the discussion highlights the need for bold yet careful decision-making in both military and civilian contexts.
