About this episode
This episode of The Scoop from the VET S.O.S. Network dives deep into what authentic leadership looks like in both military and civilian life. Host Kingsley Scott welcomes Bill Sprayberry and David McDowell, co-authors of Be a Better Leader: A Situational Guide, for an inspiring conversation on discipline, communication, humility, and self-leadership.

From the importance of “leading yourself first” to navigating the gray areas of modern leadership, their message resonates with anyone striving to grow as a leader.
