Doug Crandall: Permission to Speak Freely! West Point grad with recognizing greatness and building strong leaders can start with a small conversation.

Doug Crandall is an Army Major, West Point graduate, author and co-author of multiple books, a sought-after keynote speaker, and a leadership instructor who has developed leadership courses for organizations including Stanford Graduate School of Business and Harvard Business School.

Doug brings decades of military leadership experience to his work, along with extensive experience in the C-suite of one of the largest corporations in the world, where he was responsible for leading and developing leadership programs.

Today, we're going to talk about his new book, Building or Diminishing, where Doug shares what he describes as a kind of algorithm for building great leaders.

What I really like about this concept is that it starts with things that seem deceptively simple: our everyday interactions, our conversations, the way we communicate, and, ultimately, the way we show up with the people around us.

Because sometimes, it's not one huge leadership moment that changes everything. It's a whole lot of small conversations and interactions that, over time, add up to something much bigger—a change in leadership, a change in performance, and ultimately, a greater impact.
