Truman Thursdays: Executive Officer John Meier on What He Looks for in a Leader

Here's the latest installment of interviews I did with leaders on my recent visit to the USS Harry S Truman.  The featured officer this week is Captain John Meier, the XO of the Truman. As the number two leader on the ship, Meier is looking for three things in his leaders and they may not be what you'd expect.

From the flag bridge of the Truman, here's Captain Meier:

Scott,

Love the interview. In Crush It, Gary Vaynerchuk say, "skills are cheap, passion is priceless."

We can always learn something new but passion comes from within.

Thanks for your contribution to the community.
