The conversation examines why moral courage, judgement, and self-awareness sit at the centre of leadership in the profession of arms, and how these principles apply whether leading ten people or ten thousand. Drawing on operational experience from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as national crisis leadership during Australia’s drought response, Major General Day reflects on command, followership, decision-making under pressure, and what the doctrine demands of leaders when it matters most.","meta_description":"In this episode of The Cove Podcast, John Hardgrave is joined by Major General Stephen Day, DSC AM, author of the ADF Leadership Doctrine, to explore lead…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3008,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-cove-podcast-7033630/episodes/principles-of-leadership-for-10-or-10-000-with-maj-gen-stephen-day-dsc-am/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-cove-podcast-7033630/principles-of-leadership-for-10-or-10-000-with-maj-gen-stephen-day-dsc-am.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
