Leading 4 Life "Stories"

I am Bob Judson and I spent over 34 years in the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom as a fast-jet pilot and then eventually as a senior leader, retiring from the military in 2015 as an Air Vice-Marshal (2* General). I subsequently transitioned to the corporate world as a consultant at Deloitte, but in 2019 I stepped away from all that and co-founded Leading 4 Life. I am passionate about helping to develop the leadership skills of individuals and teams and that is what this podcast is all about

Leading 4 Life "Stories" ·

2024/12/01

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text MessageIt's been some while since I did a thematic episode so I thought this would be a good topic to introduce, and to hopefully stimulate some thought and maybe even some discussion. Debriefing is the topic and the reason I titled this episode as "The Power of Debriefing" is that I truly believe it is a game changing activity that is, unfortunately undertaken far too little in the commercial world. Through explanations of ho...
