Episode 95: Inside Veteran Led—John Berry’s Blueprint for Mission-Driven Leadership
In this special episode, the tables are turned as John Berry, your regular host and veteran leadership authority, takes the guest seat to discuss his new book, Veteran Led.
But this isn't just any book launch – it's a return to the very roots of our podcast, setting us on a year-long mission to explore and share military leadership lessons and Veteran success stories. John reveals the inspiration behind his book and shares his philosophy on personal growth and mission-driven leadership, emphasizing the vital role of hiring Veterans and harnessing their proven leadership skills to cultivate a strong, resilient organizational culture.
Reflecting on his military career, John introduces the "survive, thrive, and dominate" concept, inspired by the Army's "crawl, walk, run" methodology, emphasizing the importance of preparedness, teamwork, and self-determination. He reminds us that while we may not control life’s events, we always control who we become.
Veteran Led is now available on Amazon (https://a.co/d/gcBgpnO) or contact John directly at John.Berry@BerryLaw.com for a signed copy.
