Fear is one of those visceral emotions that makes us do all sorts of strange things. Wars, crimes, and catastrophes have all been the result of someone's fear. Join Randy and Jim, as well as our special guest Gary Noesner, as we discuss the impact of fear in leadership
Gary Noesner retired from the FBI in 2003 following a 30 year career as an investigator, instructor, and negotiator. A significant focus of his career was directed toward investigating Middle East hijackings in which American citizens were victimized. In addition, he was an FBI hostage negotiator for 23 years of his career, retiring as the Chief of the FBI’s Crisis Negotiation Unit, Critical Incident Response Group, the first person to hold that position. In that capacity he was heavily involved in numerous crisis incidents covering prison riots, right-wing militia standoffs, religious zealot sieges, terrorist embassy takeovers, airplane hijackings, and over 120 overseas kidnapping cases involving American citizens.

Randy & Jim struggle with vulnerability (and their microphone!) in this latest podcast about accepting, managing and leveraging vulnerability as a leader. Vulnerability is often times perceived as a weakness, but is actually a leader's greatest strength!
Please bear with us as someone, who will remain nameless, forgot to turn on the good microphone until halfway through! You know what? It was Randy. But he never reads the descriptions, so don't mention I outed him.
Keep Leading!!
