A family captain is compassionate.

A family captain takes responsibility.

A family captain has...

Authority.

(This is where the shrieking starts and everybody and their cat tries to cancel us).

It's just Biblical guys, and we're not sorry for it.

In this episode we break down exactly what we mean by authority and power, and how to use it effectively as the third, and often missing, leg of leadership.
