Episode 5: Hurry Up and Wait: Get There. Get Prepared. And be Patient for the Opportunity.

Most plans do not survive first contact with the enemy. But good leaders put plans into action long before they face a critical situation. In this episode of Veteran Led, John Berry explores the military's hurry up and wait mentality, where urgency meets focus and discipline. Through stories from military missions to experiences in his corporate career, John explains how urgency, patience, and preparation come together when we learn to apply the hurry up and wait mentality to the civilian business world. Execute at a time when others inevitably scramble.
