- Commonalities of sustaining excellence:
- Thinking strategically
- Communicating persuasively
- Decisive decision making
- The power of using real life examples to demonstrate leadership
- Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
- He was a learning machine
- "We know not the future, and cannot plan for it much. But we can determine and know what manner of men we will be whenever and wherever the hour strikes."
- He was a self directed lifelong learner - "I have always been interested in military matters, and what I do not know in that line, I know how to learn. I study I tell you every military work I can find."
- He had a mentor/coach - Adelbert Ames was his tent mate and he learned all he could from him
- He had a disciplined focus on learning from him. "I asked him every night to tell me what he knew so I could learn"
- He routinely got outside of his comfort zone - "I will watch myself and do an after action review to analyze."
- Get tangible experience
- The purpose behind taking students and family members to Gettysburg every semester - To "stand where Chamberlain stood." And to "get you in their moment on that ground." Recreate the moment as if you're there.
- Gene Kranz and Apollo 13
- "Expecting high performance is a prerequisite to its achievement among those who work with you. Your high standards and optimistic anticipations will not guarantee a favorable outcome, but their absence will assuredly create the opposite."
- Being a decisive decision maker and preparing for those challenging moments with an attitude that "failure is not an option."
- "I knew my teams even more than they knew themselves."
- Had a great mentor in Chris Craft to help him
- Teams that are well developed go through experiences together can outperform individuals under stress
- The motivation behind risk takers:
- "A calculating adventurer, deriving a thrill from taking a risk and watching it pay off." This is how visions are created.
- How to become savvy about calculated risk
- Risk tolerance is a learned skill
- Persuasive communication is an art form
- It's a learned skill
- You can't hide, you must be persuasive as a leader
- There needs to be a solid narrative (story), a purpose behind it
- Every person must know how important their specific contribution is -- "Why are we doing this and what is my role?"

World War II with Tom Hanks
By shows
For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. World War II with Tom Hanks is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.

The Last 12 Weeks
By shows
In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.
