How do you lead when every answer you give might be wrong—but silence would be worse? In this episode, we dive into General David Petraeus’s leadership during the height of the Iraq War, where urban warfare and political scrutiny collided. Learn how to communicate clarity when certainty isn’t an option—and why your presence, tone, and timing can make all the difference.

Conversation Prompts:

  1. When have you had to lead a team without all the facts?
  2. How do you communicate confidently without overpromising?
  3. What are the risks of waiting too long to speak in high-stakes environments?
