How to Be Calm Under Pressure: Leadership Lessons From a Bomb Disposal Expert with Chris Hunter QGM

May 10, 2021 • Leadership Detectives • Season 2 • Episode 8

In this episode, we’re joined by Chris Hunter QGM, author, bomb disposal expert, and former British Army officer.

And when it comes to topics like fear of failure there are few better placed than Chris who has had to view failure as meaning someone losing their life.

We start by talking about why Chris joined the Military and the words that his father gave him on his death bed that shaped his life. Looking at leadership, we break down lessons he learned in the Military such as knowing what your boss is trying to achieve and having the ability to influence the greater good. Chris gives us invaluable insight on a great example of leadership that he’s had when advising on the 7/7 London bombings and on dealing with the fear of failure.
