Join Us In Orlando This December: https://qrco.de/bffhTX
In this episode of Lead. Win. , Echelon Front instructors Leif Babin, Jamie Cochran, and Sean Glass break down one of the most important leadership skills in any environment — iterative decision-making.
From the battlefields of Ramadi to the boardrooms of billion-dollar companies, they explain how leaders can avoid analysis paralysis, balance default aggressive with detachment, and make smaller, smarter moves that drive progress without reckless overcommitment.
Discover how the principle of “Flank or Be Flanked” applies to your business strategy, how to balance risk vs. speed, and why perfection is a lie that kills momentum. Whether you're leading a team, launching a new project, or just trying to move forward in life, this episode gives you the tools to take small steps with big impact.
