GENERAL JENNIE CARIGNAN Be prepared—a strategy for facing uncertainty
Description
Imagine taking over the absolute top job in your field, at a time of unprecedented national and international scrutiny on your team. Oh, and you’re the first woman EVER to hold the position. That is the challenge General Jennie Carignan wakes up to each morning, as Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff, the highest ranking military command in the land. At a time of unprecedented uncertainty about Canada’s sovereignty, and on the heels of historic defence spending in the most recent federal budget announcement, General Carignan sits down with Gill for a frank conversation about how prepared Canada is to weather storms, both political and climate-driven. She talks candidly about how she handles fear, how to mitigate uncertainty with preparedness, and says Canadians can expect significant change in how its Armed Forces operate—a change that might include everyday civilians playing a role in national defence.
