In this episode of The Thinking Leader Podcast Bryce and Marcus talk about autocratic leadership, hierarchical organisations and about excessive command and control in the business world.

They discuss an article “Why War Fails” by Lawrence Freedman, a professor of War Studies at King's College London and one of the world's most distinguished experts on foreign policy, international relations and strategy. 

Marcus explains why senior leaders should want to hear the truth about what is happening within their organisations and take action. He explains a theory by Patrick Lencioni about the 5 dysfunctions of a team and shows how these root problems cause poor teamwork; but with red team thinking they can develop strategies to overcome them.
