Is it possible to prioritize people and profits—or does one always come at the expense of the other?

In this thought-provoking episode of Command 2 Corporate, two Army veterans turned corporate leaders unpack the tension between mission and margin. From leading soldiers on the battlefield to driving performance in the boardroom, we explore how leadership changes when success is measured in dollars—not lives.

 We discuss:
🔹 Times we’ve worked in profit-first vs. people-first cultures
🔹 How military values shaped our leadership in cutthroat environments
🔹 The hidden dangers of financial-only performance metrics
🔹 When it’s necessary to make tough calls for the bottom line
🔹 And how leaders can stay grounded and lead with integrity

Your Turn:
