What can the battlefield teach us about leadership?

More than you might think.

In this episode of Pull the Chute, we sat down with Chris Hossfeld to explore how lessons from military leadership and historical battles can translate into the business world.

One lesson stood out:

Great leaders don't just tell people what to do. They give them the purpose, authority, and trust to make decisions.

Because when everything depends on the leader being available, the organization becomes the bottleneck.

But when people understand the why, they can act with confidence—even when the leader isn't in the room.

So here's the question:

How well does your team understand the way you think, communicate, and make decisions?

And…

Have you given them enough trust and clarity to lead without you?
