In this episode, Dr. Fred Johnson sits down with Colonel Bob Mitchell, a retired Army leader to discuss the leadership principles that have guided him.
Colonel Mitchell reflects on how his leadership development began in high school under the mentorship of his football coach, who helped him realize his leadership potential early on. This foundation carried him through his 30-year military career, including commanding medevac units in Iraq, where he led over 1,000 soldiers and managed complex, high-risk operations.
Key takeaways from the conversation:
Leadership Beyond Titles: Mitchell emphasizes that leadership isn't about rank or position. It’s about influence and helping others succeed, a principle he lived out in his career and continues to pursue, even while working toward his Ph.D. in Global Leadership.
Building Trust: Successful leaders must empower their teams by establishing a clear vision, providing support, and letting go of control to allow their people to execute high-stakes missions effectively.
Personal Sacrifice: Colonel Mitchell discusses the personal toll of leadership in combat, sharing how his focus on his troops often meant placing their needs above his own and his family’s.
Loving Your People: Mitchell explains how elite leaders care deeply about their teams, visiting soldiers at forward operating bases to check on their well-being, not just their performance. This personal connection is crucial for enduring the relentless demands of leadership.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where Bob delves deeper into the leadership lessons that transcend the battlefield and can be applied to any high-stakes environment!
