I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message

My guest for this episode is Rear Admiral James Morse RN(Retd), the President and CEO of the Rabdan Academy in the United Arab Emirates.
James and I know each other well from our military days having been at the Royal College of Defence Studies together back in 2007. He subsequently commanded the UK's Joint Service Command and Staff College and that undoubtedly positioned him extremely well for his current role, which he has held since 2016.
Raban Academy is a fascinating institution in an equally interesting part of the world and James has some terrific perspectives on leadership that I know will be of interest and value to you all.
