The Failure Resume
Notas do episódio
Leadership shaped by...failure?
In this episode of Army Matters, LTG (Ret.) Leslie Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with COL Chaveso “Chevy” Cook, PhD, a career Army officer whose path has spanned tactical leadership, Psychological Operations, strategic communications, speechwriting for the Secretary of the Army, and serving on the West Point faculty—and on the Joint Staff.
Growing up in a difficult neighborhood, Cook’s future changed because one woman—his adoptive mother—insisted that education would be his way forward. That conversation ultimately led him to West Point and began a career dedicated not only to leading Soldiers, but to developing leaders.
Whether discussing psychological operations, teaching cadets, advising the nation’s senior military leaders, or founding Military Mentors, Cook returns to one consistent theme: great leadership begins with humility and grows through continuous learning.
Guest: COL Chaveso "Chevy" Cook, PhD
Division Chief, Strategic Information Integration Division, The Joint Staff and
Co-Founder, MilitaryMentors
