Can a military veteran learn how to be a more emotionally intelligent leader?

Rick Fearnbaugh is proof that it’s possible.

Coming from a world of Marine Corps leadership, he joins Lucie and Chris this week to share about his journey into the world of civilian leadership and how he needed to soften his approach.  And this isn’t just something military veterans encounter – anybody coming from a blue collar environment or any culture that prioritizes work over relationships can relate to that transition.  

In this episode, Rick shares:

- The big differences between military culture and civilian work culture
- How he started building the muscle of emotional intelligence and self-awareness
- How leaders can practice empathy and self-awareness
- The importance of training to prevent fires - How to get employees to buy-in
