The Steady Leader Podcast

This One Military Lesson Changed How I Lead Forever

Schuyler Williamson Season 1 Episode 6

In this episode of The Steady Leader Podcast, Schuyler shares the hardest leadership lesson he learned in combat: not everyone moves at your pace. As a young Army leader, he discovered the tension between holding high standards and truly taking care of your people. Tune in to hear how this lesson shaped his leadership—and how it can shape yours.

Key Takeaways:

  • No matter the person, everyone has a limit.
  • It’s unfair to demand the same endurance from everyone.
  • You can uphold high standards and lead with empathy.
  • Create space for open communication—your people need to feel safe to speak up.
  • Leadership done right is leadership rooted in love and grace
