This week we discuss Leadership with Commander Kirk Lippold, USN (Ret.).
We discuss what good leadership is, why it's imperative, the consequences of not having it and why he believes leaders must do better to uphold this critical skill.
Commander Kirk Lippold was the Commanding Officer of the USS Cole when it came under a suicide terrorist attack by al Qaeda in the port of Aden, Yemen. During his command, he and his crew distinguished themselves by saving the American war ship from sinking. This event is widely recognized as one of the most brazen acts of terrorism by al Qaeda prior to September 11, 2001.
