Today is the day. On Character is out now. This book represents my most personal work yet—an exploration of the convictions that shape who we are as leaders and human beings. I hope it challenges you to reflect, grow, and lead with character. 📘

As a nation, we face potential danger from networks of insurgents in our country. We must not dismiss these threats. Great discussion with @Team_Harbaugh about the weaknesses domestic insurgents are exploiting to erode our democracy.
It could survive internal discord, but it wouldn't lose sight of the fact there are things we have to hold on to.’ And that's what I would tell people.” (6/6) . - @StanMcChrystal.

Impactful look that goes deep inside the violent extremist movement in America. I'm proud to share my experiences on networks of insurgents with @Team_Harbaugh in #AgainstAllEnemiesFilm. #Tribeca2023.

When there's a developing crisis, we know orgs will jump up & react. The differentiator for leaders comes from those who invest in their team's ability to respond to crisis before the next one unfolds. Thanks to @SquawkCNBC & @andrewrsorkin for having me to discuss ongoing risk.
"You can't just respond to crisis, you have to prepare to respond," says Retired U.S. Army General @StanMcChrystal. Taking lessons from the battlefield and applying them to the boardroom, here's how he suggests leaders manage risk:
