Reading and Responding to Black Swans with Jim Roussell

Leadership Under Fire

Since our formal inception more than a decade ago, the LUF Team has championed professional reading. The LUF team believes that a careful examination of history’s most accomplished mission-oriented leaders reveals that their success was strongly correlated to a scholarly appreciation of literature and professional reading. In 2022, LUF launched our inaugural book club. LUF online book clubs have been a conduit to meaningful discourse, reflection, and critical thought. In this podcast episode, LUF’s Senior Mentor Jim Roussell unpacks Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "Black Swan" with a LUF Book Club. Jim provides valuable insight into the leadership traits and organizational practices that will equip mission-oriented leaders and units to respond to unpredictable and improbable events.
