In our podcast, Gary Morton shares his amazing experiences working with teams that simply "soared." He then takes listeners through his methodology so that you too can learn from him and the incredible leaders he has been privileged to work with, as described in his new book, "Commanding Excellence: Inspiring Purpose, Passion, and Ingenuity through Leadership that Matters." Take a listen and pick up his book, an amazing read.
Motivating people effectively is
not about commanding them to do something — it's about getting them to
command themselves to do
something. 
A distinguished graduate of
West Point, Morton learned firsthand how to deliver exceptional
results. Then as a platoon leader and tank commander in Army Task
Force 4-68 and later, as a young vice president at the medical
device manufacturer Stryker, he trained under two legendary leaders
who, despite their different styles, followed nearly the same steps
to achieve results which most considered
unattainable.
