ANECDOTE

Marines as Leadership School

  • Janet Polach's leadership foundation began in the Marines, where leadership is geared towards life or death responsibility.
  • Marine training includes comprehensive leadership preparation for various ranks, emphasizing readiness and role succession.

Lead Through Others

  • Focus on working through others to develop team capacity and long-term results.
