EP. 505: When “Figure It Out” Becomes Bad Leadership
Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
For generations, "A Message to Garcia" has been used to celebrate initiative and getting the job done. But Captain Jonathan Corbin, U.S. Marine Corps, argues that “figure it out” leadership can go too far.
This episode explores why true decentralized command requires clear intent, useful context, and a culture where smart questions are encouraged—not punished.
