Episode 27: Lessons About Leadership and Parenting!
James Sisco
Father, Seasoned Executive, Combat Veteran, Athlete, #1 Best Selling Author and Podcast "The War Journal: A Young Marines Discovery of Critical Life Lessons From Desert Storm"
In this latest episode, I discuss how the seemingly innocuous events on April Fool's Day in Desert Storm influenced my perspective on the Marine Corps, were the foundation of my leadership principles, and guide my parenting style. I also share a memorable experience from my time as a Targeting Officer on the USS John F. Kennedy during combat operations shortly after 9-11. Right before a critical meeting with the Carrier Air Wing Commander, I took time to listen to a junior enlisted sailor's concerns. This single event, which tarnished my reputation with the CAG left a lasting impact on my troops, shaped my personal views on leadership and helped me be a better father by listening.
For me, leadership is about achieving the mission and taking care of the troops, and as a father, it’s about understanding my children's needs and preparing them for life.
Join me as I unpack the life lessons that I learned and how my time in the military continues to guide me through my life.
?? Jim takes listeners through his journey from a young Marine to becoming an officer in the U.S. Navy and, ultimately, a dedicated father.
