After a 35-year career as a fighter pilot, military strategist, and senior leader, Clint retired in 2023 and now serves as a futurist for the Air Force. He is also a professor of policy analysis at the RAND School of Public Policy.&amp;amp;nbsp;   Interested in leadership since his teen years and having gained experience through a variety of leadership roles ever since, Clint shares his thoughts on the definition of leadership, the importance of leaders’ influence, and lessons to learn from the book of Nehemiah.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   Resources mentioned during this episode include:&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;     Clint’s Nehemiah Bible study, developed during a prior deployment and used at WSS&amp;amp;nbsp;       Jim Collins’ Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0066620996&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;       White Sulphur Springs’ Summer R&amp;amp;amp;R, where Clint served as a speaker this past summer https://www.whitesulphursprings.org/summer-rnr/&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;     If you would like to share your own story, complete the form on OCF’s “Be a Guest” webpage.

Is “influence” a sufficient definition?&amp;amp;nbsp;       How have your own leadership roles affected your understanding of leadership?&amp;amp;nbsp;       Why is it important to remember the “human connection” aspect of leadership?&amp;amp;nbsp;       What role does consistency have in a leader's communications skills?&amp;amp;nbsp;     </description>
