Leadership Under Fire: What to do when Everyone Looks to You
What do you do when everyone’s looking at you for the answer—and you don’t have one?
In this episode of The Shift, Cassandra Rambo sits down with David Lambert—West Point graduate, military veteran, and global business leader—to talk about leadership under pressure, emotional regulation, and the power of integrity in action.
From leading in combat zones to navigating executive decisions in the boardroom, David shares lessons that challenge conventional thinking on trust, team alignment, and what it really means to be calm in a crisis.
You’ll hear:
- What to say when you don’t know the answer
- How cultural cracks form at the top
- The power of upward coaching
- Why emotional consistency builds long-term trust
- And the story of walking away from a multimillion-dollar deal—for the sake of integrity
Whether you're an emerging leader or a seasoned executive, this conversation will equip you to lead more authentically, decisively, and with greater impact.
