In Extremis Leadership: Leading As If Your Life Depended On It

In this short interview, Thomas Kolditz shows how extreme life-and-death situations can offer profound lessons for leaders in any setting. His research reveals that the leadership skills and principles evident in dangerous settings also apply to leading in business and everyday life. Kolditz is a Yale professor and former head of the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership at the US Military Academy.
