Episode 84: Training Future Leaders: What Can We Learn From The Ukrainian Frontline?

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk about leadership lessons that can be learned from observing how the Ukrainian military has adapted to using new weapons systems donated from other countries.

 

They discuss how impressed US military officers have been with how quickly Ukrainians have been able to become operationally capable with equipment they have never seen or used before, such as British Challenger tanks. Bryce and Marcus also debate how creating uncertainty, chaos and discomfort can spark innovation, as long as people are empowered and trained to problem solve on their own.

 

In this episode:

• Why you need to train leaders at all levels continuously for maximum impact
• How to empower people to make decisions close to problems 
• How to rapidly adapt to new challenges like the Ukrainians have during the war
• Why you should trust people to solve problems independently
