Episode 3: Buddy System: The First Team You Ever Had

Day 1 in the military, the drill sergeant assigns you a buddy. The buddy system teaches safety, accountability, and strength in numbers; "no soldier left behind" starts with the buddy system. In this episode of Veteran Led, John Berry sheds light on the buddy system's value and how essential it is to organizational success. From recruitment to personal growth, John shares how establishing the buddy system at Berry Law had a profound effect on building the team and ensuring its continuity. In life, in the military, and in business, you need a buddy to survive.
