S5 Ep. 11: Yoke and Rudder of Leadership w/ Col Joe Clancy

In the season finale of Simsation Nation, the host, and guest, Colonel Joe Clancy, discuss the application of the yoke and rudder in leadership. They draw parallels between the tools used in flying a plane and the skills required in leadership. The yoke, which controls the aircraft's pitch and yaw, is likened to the ability to make immediate corrections in leadership. The rudder, which controls the aircraft's yaw, is compared to the need for subtle adjustments in leadership. They also explored the balance between leading from the front and from the rear, the importance of managing people and the mission, and the role of the crew in providing feedback. The conversation concluded with discussions on the roles and responsibilities of a commander and a director of operations, the importance of leadership and followership, and the importance of balance and control in leadership.
