Boat Forces Goes to Harvard

Operational demands don’t pause, and neither does the responsibility to lead when conditions shift without warning. This episode features Mr. Eric McNulty, Associate Director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard University and co-author of You're It: Crisis, Change, and How to Lead When It Matters Most. His work draws from major crises to explain how leaders think, decide, and act when stakes are highest. The conversation explores meta-leadership, decision-making under pressure, and lessons directly applicable to Coast Guard operations, where clarity, accountability, and judgment define outcomes when it matters most.
