Part 11/13:
A learner at heart, the speaker shares passions for history — WWII, Vietnam, Native American tribes — appreciating lessons from the past. He also discusses influential leadership books, noting that most of what he learned was through personal observation and real-world experience rather than textbooks. His leadership style is pragmatic: "Get things done, and if something's wrong, just tell the truth." He dismisses the myth of inherent greatness in leaders, emphasizing that life is more about avoiding major mistakes — "Don't stick your head up in a mortar barrage."
