Leadership Lessons: Adapting to the Next Generation with JB and Meech

Talkin' Crazy Podcast

JB, a First Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps who is close to retirement after a distinguished career of service.

In this candid and insightful conversation, JB shares his wisdom on leadership, accountability, and the importance of adapting and evolving in order to genuinely connect with and mentor the younger generation. We dive into the challenges of bridging the generational gap when it comes to mental resilience and mindset.

JB emphasizes how critical it is for leaders to maintain perspective, be transparent, and offer real solutions rather than just harkening back to how things were done in the past. We discuss the risk of leaders becoming obsolete or even toxic if they fail to understand and value the unique experiences of junior members.

This episode is all about building authentic relationships, engaging in active listening, and taking the time to see things from others' point of view. JB shares powerful examples from his own leadership journey of the impact our actions and words can have.
