It’s Your Ship: Lessons in Leadership

William Perry, Stanford University

Dr. William J. Perry, former Secretary of Defense discusses lessons in leadership reminding us that a pivotal point in management is realizing that “It’s your ship” and your own “crew”. Perry draws parallels from his experience in business as an entrepreneur and in the government in various critical technology development roles and most recently as the Secretary of Defense (1994-1997). Perry ends with an incisive management principle applicable both in the corporate world and the government – “Take care of your troops and they will take care of you.”
