Gareth and Chris unpack how realistic war gaming exposes blind spots, stress‑tests assumptions, and reveals how people truly behave when everything happens at once.
Leadership is easy when nothing is at stake. The real test is how you think, act, and adapt when the world tilts under your feet.
We hear why immersive simulations reveal more than theoretical discussions, how pressure changes decisions that seem obvious in hindsight, what war gaming teaches us about communication, clarity, roles, and information flow, how leaders can use structured stress‑testing in business just as effectively as governments use it in crisis planning and why confronting unlikely but high‑impact risks is essential for modern leaders.
Listen to hear how a fictional crisis uncovers real lessons for leaders in any environment.
