135 - Navigating Crisis and Continuity - A Marine's Guide to Resilient Leadership with Sean Quigley

Sean Quigley, a former Marine turned business consultant, delves into the core of leadership shaped by adversity. Starting with his time in the Marine Corps, Quigley emphasizes the importance of resilience and crisis management, attributes that he later applied in the corporate world at Deloitte and now at his own consulting firm, Knighthawk Consulting. Throughout the discussion, Quigley shares poignant stories from his military service, illustrating how these experiences equipped him with a leadership toolkit that's highly effective in the business sector.

Quigley also touches on the critical role of contingency planning, likening it to his days as a helicopter pilot prepared for any emergency.
