#90 Leading with Clarity When the Pressure Is High with Jeffrey Sanow
In today’s episode we talked with Jeffrey Sanow—veteran CIA Senior Intelligence Officer, leadership strategist, and author of Humint for Humanity—to unpack how leadership under pressure reveals what you’re really made of.
From recruiting spies to training the next generation of leaders, Jeffrey shares practical wisdom for making decisions with limited information, creating environments that empower others, and leading when you feel completely ill-equipped.
You’ll hear:
- Why you should make decisions with 80% of the information
- The power of giving others permission to fail
- Why everyone—at every level—experiences leadership
- How removing physical barriers (like tables!) removes relational barriers too
- A sneak peek at Jeffrey’s new book, Humint for Humanity
Whether you lead a company, a classroom, a team—or you’re leading yourself through a tough season—this conversation will challenge you to think bigger, decide faster, and lead deeper.
