Listen to Leading Under Fire

What are the components of military leadership? That's the question Dr. Joe MacInnis asks soldiers, sailors, and airmen on a Canadian warship and at the Canadian Forces base in Kandahar, Afghanistan. In the cockpits of their aircraft, the front seats of their armored vehicles, and the bridge of HMCS Toronto, they describe leadership-critical moments and share stories about leadership's essential components and how they are acquired. He considers how the synergy of courage, competence, compassion and other leadership traits can help us address social and environmental problems.
