A note from Admiral John Richardson during the live airing of his talk:

I had a really terrific time speaking with you today about leader development. It was a real honor to be part of this discussion, and I'm grateful to Gene for including me. I intend to continue to develop and sharpen the ideas I touched on to make them more useful to leaders in business.

If you'd like to participate in that, it's super easy and I'd be privileged to include you. Just send an email to BrinyDeep@SendYourSlides.com with the subject "leaders" — you'll get an automated response that will loop you in and give you access to a few products that I put together in the Navy.
