#018: Operator Syndrome - Dr. Chris Frueh

What happens when we push ourselves too hard - over too long a period of time? What happens to our mental, physical and emotional states? Even the most elite performers reach a point when they can't go any further. We are not talking about a single event, or a single day. We are talking about years, or decades, of driving to the limit, pushing through, and winning; only to wake up one day with nothing left in the tank. This is called Operator Syndrome - and it affects the most successful champions in the world, first responders, doctors, lawyers, restaurateurs, and the rest of us driving to make it in the world. Dr. Chris Frueh is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Hawaii and a leader in the research and clinical evaluation of Operator Syndrome. He joins host Fran Racioppi on this episode to show us that even as we push ourselves to the limit every day, we must be conscious of the cumulative effect of stress over long periods of time; and how sleep, nutrition and mindfulness are the "survival skills" we need to combat Operator Syndrome and its negative effects on our performance. Read the full episode transcription here and learn more on The Jedburgh Podcast Website.Highlights:  -Chris and Fran define “Operator Syndrome” and list the “impairments” that are associated with it’s evaluation.-Evaluation can be as easy as self-evaluation, but also may involve a team of specialists that can assess a person's holistic health across mental, physical and emotional contexts. -Operator Syndrome affects all types of high performers in a variety of industries such as emergency services, first responders, law enforcement, financial services, lawyers & the military, among others. -Chris explains how sleep, nutrition and mindfulness are the “survival skills” needed to combat Operator Syndrome, aid recovery and increase a balanced perspective on life. -Most high performers are unable to identify they suffer from Operator Syndrome, postponing needed medical treatment, or even conversations about the stress they consistently live under.  Quotes:  -”The natural consequences of an extraordinarily high allostatic load; the accumulation of physiological, neural, and neuroendocrine responses resulting from prolonged chronic stress; and physical demands.”-”What I recommend is a framework that takes the whole person and all of the systems into account as simultaneously as possible.”-”These things are all connected and causative. We can have vicious cycles and virtuous cycles.” -”If you are not sleeping, it is really hard to heal your brain. It’s not just about getting enough sleep. It is about getting the right sleep.” -”We don’t need sugar. We don’t need soda. We don’t need fast food. Junk food. Processed food.”-”Find the ability to sit, be quiet, and notice what’s going on.”-”We have some agency. We have some control over our lives.”-"You are not crazy because you have some of these symptoms, but you can learn to deal with those symptoms with a multi-tiered approach." This episode is sponsored by Analytix Solutions; improving the efficiency of your business across people, process and technology through multi-divisional outsourcing solutions.

#017: Night Stalkers Don't Quit - Special Operations Warrior Foundation CEO - Major General Clay Hutmacher

Are leaders born or made? Major General Clay Hutmacher believes that leadership is a learned skill. He spent 41 years in the United States military and commanded the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment; one of the most lethal projections of combat power the world has ever seen. Precision execution is required every second of every day to assume - and succeed - at the extreme level of risk at which this unit operates. Major General Hutmacher is now the President and CEO of The Special Operations Warrior Foundation where he has dedicated his post-military career to providing education to the children of our fallen Special Operations warriors and Medal of Honor recipients. MG Hutmacher joins host Fran Racioppi, and special guest host TWG Founder and Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille, to discuss raising the standards of leadership, the importance of organizations creating expertise across functional, technical and strategic thought domains, realistic training, and the balance between mission and people when the mission calls for relentless dedication.Read the full episode transcription here and learn more on The Jedburgh Podcast Website.Highlights: -How a motto like “Night Stalkers Don’t Quit” unifies an organization around a common purpose and mission.-Standards are required in any organization, but it is the adherence to the standards that separates the elite from everyone else. -Lessons on managing elite performers who have a very high operational tempo, a no fail mission and the effects of prolonged operation. -MG Hutmacher shows us how leaders evaluate risk, and how longevity and experience of an organization’s personnel will allow a leader to assume more risk in their operations. -Special Operations Warrior Foundation empowers the families and children of our fallen and severely wounded Special Operators and Medal of Honor recipients. Learn how you can support their mission at specialops.org.-MG Hutmacher provides an invaluable history lesson of combat aviation in special operations throughout the world including Somalia, South America, and The Middle East. Quotes:-”You lead by example in your personal and professional life”-” I learned a lot through that process, about change, being an agent of change. Land mines that are out there that you need to be careful of. But taking the long view on change.”-”I have learned more hearing things that I wanted to hear the least.” -”That policing and enforcing of standards isn’t just me at the top, it’s all throughout the depth and breadth of your organization.”-”At one level it is understandable they are doing this based on fatigue, but it is unacceptable, regardless. “-”I believe leadership is a learned skill. I don’t buy into the natural leadership thing. And I still learn.”-I didn’t shy away from making hard decisions and holding people accountable, but I was also very cognizant of the perspective of a young soldier.”-”There is an argument to be made that when you come into an organization your most productive time is that first three to six months.”-“If we put you in, you can bank on it, we will come get you. I don’t care what it takes.”MG Hutmacher’s Three Daily Foundations of Success:-Pray everyday-Workout Everyday-Spend time with family everyday

#016: Delete The Adjective - Lisa Jaster

Ranger School, and the Ranger ethos have defined military leaders, and leadership in general, for over 70 years. But until 2016, the opportunity to earn a Ranger qualification was limited only to men. In this episode, host Fran Racioppi is joined by Lisa Jaster, one of three women to attend the first integrated Ranger School class. Most attendees of Ranger School are in their 20's, men and and from the Infantry or Special Forces. Lisa graduated at 37 years old, a mother of two, a woman, and an engineer. She also faced the utmost mental and physical challenges of resilience as she recycled every phase of the course; being forced to do every exercise again. We highlight the difference between those who say and those who do; the importance of physical preparation; the optionality of quitting; and what it means to truly build an organization on uncompromised standards. Lisa shares her three C's of leadership, what it means to #deletetheadjective when it comes to women leaders; and how leaders must earn respect every damn day.
