Navigating Leadership Under the Ice
Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Longest Day in Uncharted Way, we are joined by Mike Davis-Marks OBE, a former Royal Navy officer who spent 36 years navigating submarines, including commanding a nuclear submarine. Mike shares an incredible story from his early career, detailing a life-or-death moment when he had to challenge his commanding officer on a dangerous decision while operating under the Arctic ice. Through this experience, Mike learned the role of silence in conflict, and his reflections on leadership, courage, and the importance of standing up for what’s right provide invaluable lessons for anyone in a leadership role. Mike now works with veterans and organizations to promote people-focused leadership and transform workplace cultures.
"You have to stand up for your principles, even if it could cost you everything. But you don’t have to scream and shout. You have to be firm about what you believe in."
