After you retire, the most important thing you take from your career is the legacy you leave.

In this episode, we’re joined by John Carter, a retired Navy Captain and the Founder of the Leadership Bridge Institute, for a deep dive into the power of leadership and legacy, from the key skills that facilitate organizational impact to the paradox of becoming a confident leader who keeps their people both accountable and protected. Although he takes great pride in having commanded ships in the Navy, John shares that the Junior Officers he mentored coming to the pinnacle of their careers today are his greatest source of joy.

Our conversation also explores John’s approach to leadership and the practices that keep him connected to his people. Tune in for plenty of insights from a seasoned leader who continues to create a powerful legacy!

Key Points From This Episode:

• Navigating the transition from active duty to a new chapter of purpose.

• Why leadership skills are key for organizational impact.

• What the Leadership Bridge is and who it’s built for.

• How great leaders empower others by letting them make mistakes.

• Staying grounded in day-to-day operations while keeping your eyes on the future.

• Why focusing on what you stand to gain is more powerful than fixating on what's missing.
