Welcome to another informative video of SalesPOP!

Here in this video, we are interviewing Thomas Kolditz who is an American retired Brigadier General, an educator, author, and consultant. Kolditz has served 34 years in the military and is the author of In Extremis Leadership: Leading as if Your Life Depended on It, which was based on more than 175 interviews taken on the ground in Iraq during combat operations.

Here we are discussing the following points:

• What are the common characteristics of In Extremis Leadership?

• How to establish a good level of trust particularly in situations where people’s lives are literally depending on you? How do you develop that level of trust where somebody goes rely on your so much?

• One of the points that you follow is you try to build things through social interactions and it seems like over the last number of years the pendulum has swung very far over there where it is all about creating this collegial environment, getting together and wearing the same color t-shirts and all of this kind of stuff that seems very little. What are Thomas’s views on the same?

• How do you know that your leader is competent if you never actually see them in action or you only see the results of their decisions? 

• When you are actual in the crisis month and the crisis hits, your initial job as a leader is to take the temperature down a bit and start looking at things clearly as opposed to everybody just running crazy. What is the perception of Thomas on that?
