I had the joy of being interviewed on Chris Williams’ Badass Agile podcast recently! Here is what he had to say on his landing page:
This week, I interview Scott McCarthy of Moving Forward Leadership. Scott is a leader in the Canadian Armed Forces, and also runs his own leadership consultancy and podcast. In this conversation, we discuss why it’s so critical to trust your teams, planning for your own exit, teaching leadership from Day 1, and how to survive and thrive in the face of fear and failure. It was a great conversation that brought a very different leadership perspective into our world and Agile values!
