Key Learnings

1. Why the current state of #Covid19 governmental response is so confusing

2. “Magical thinking” and its disruptive impact in our governmental response

3. Coming out of the Ebola experience with a fierce sense of urgency around preparedness 9:30 & seeing it all be disregarded in February 2020

4. The 2 critical questions that we should have been asking in January and February: “Could this happen here?” and “are we ready?”

5. What a fierce sense of urgency looks like and what’s missing now regarding response

6. The infuriating nature of the risk-shifting from the federal government to the governors of individual states, especially when juxtaposed against our Ebola response

7. Why targeting the World Health Organization (WHO is misguided and a risky approach, with some brilliant framing of WHO’s role.

8. What gives Jeremy hope right now

9. Some great people to follow

David Berke is back to help us harvest hard-won lessons in leadership from his career as a fighter pilot and Top Gun instructor. We build on his previous appearance to look at how to assess a team’s culture and the key steps needed to reveal some hard truths. There’s also a new “quick-hitters” question batch at the end featuring medicine vs military including pop culture, late night eats, and sleep deprivation.

David Wexler is the Director of the Relationship Training Institution and he joins us to discuss guilt vs shame and how to overcome destructive behaviors.
