Each day software developers are responsible for maintaining code bases that support billions of dollars in revenue streams.  When decisions need to be made it can often feel like that MacGuyver moment of choosing between the red wire, and the blue one.  In this episode, Drew is joined by former USAF Explosive Ordnance Disposal Master Sergeant turned Leadership & Performance consultant Ken Lewis to discuss the contrast and similarities to leading software teams and EOD teams who literally cut red wires.
Military culture is often associated with toughness, discipline, and always being ready to fight, but the reality is that while the military is entrenched in authority, its leadership approach is highly empathetic. Ken’s experience as a US Air Force EOD tech gives him unique insight into how we can apply high-stakes military leadership principles, with empathy and compassion into our daily lives at work and in our personal relationships.  
You'll also learn about the "knife hand," and why you probably shouldn't use it.
This episode is packed full of actionable insights you can take back to your own organization today!
