    Anchored Leadership: Vision, Purpose, and Character

    Schuyler spent years watching every move of his commander in Baghdad—studying how he thought, how he made decisions, and how he led people when it mattered most. This week on the Steady Leader Podcast, that commander joins him: Colonel (Retired) Dale Kuehl They dive into the lessons that shaped Schuyler as a young leader:  • “If you think, you can lead better.”  • Leadership is influence—rooted in ethics and values.  • Protect your mornings, your mindset, and your family time.  • Develop future leaders, not just short-term results.  • Build a culture where people can speak up, grow, and win. Colonel Kuehl shares how to build a shared vision, how to run a team with clarity, and the questions every young leader must answer: Who are you? What is your purpose? What anchors you?

    How To Build The Unshakable Confidence of an Army Ranger

Army Ranger, former professional athlete, and now multi-business owner Schuyler Williamson knows that feeling.
