071: Rock The Boat: Lead the Change | Danelle Barrett

  1. 071: Rock The Boat: Lead the Change | Danelle Barrett Adam Pacifico 37:50

Danelle Barrett is a retired Rear Admiral in the US Navy and author of “Rock the Boat: Embrace Change, Encourage Innovation and Be a Successful Leader.”
Danielle has served her country from tours in Iraq to the disaster relief effort in Haiti. She has used multiple high stakes situations to think about her leadership in an ever changing environment. Danelle discusses the need to make speedy decisions with only a fraction of the available information, how she has always focused on what she can fix as opposed to those elements beyond her control. We also talk about how she has had to take off the shackles of what she thought she knew and challenge all of her assumptions whilst embracing the diversity of thought around her and creating a culture where truth to power was always allowed and encouraged.

Adam Pacifico The Leadership Enigma

Adam Pacifico is the host of the award winning, globally ranked podcast, The Leadership Enigma. He has spent 3 decades experiencing and exploring the best and worst of human behaviour in his various roles as a barrister defending and prosecuting in the criminal courts and as an operational police officer on the streets of London. He is insatiably curious and continues looking for the differentiators as to who, how and why people out perform in leadership roles. He is the author of 'The Leader's Secret Code' (shortlisted for business book of the year) and had delivered events nationally and internationally to over 60,000 people.

His passion for leadership is based on advice from his mentor: 'The children of the people you lead will know your name, in what context is up to you.'
