“You better get it right.”– General Jeffrey Foley, “ON TRANSITIONS”

Creating a Space for Success to Happen.
General Jeffrey Foley, “ON TRANSITIONS”
One of my favorite quotes from the General in this interview:
“Underwrite honest mistakes in the pursuit of excellence.”
Last week in our webcast Brigadier General Jeff Foley outlined three leadership fundamentals distilled from his decades of experience leading people in times of change– along with a summary of his recent writing on FOUR PITFALLS TO AVOID WHEN TAKING ON A NEW LEADERSHIP ROLE.
PS
If you only have two minutes jump to the great summary of After-Action Reviews (Debriefs / Coaching) that General Foley outlines here.
