Northbound Podcast — Action Study: Leadership When Plans Break (Start Here!) What do you do when the plan breaks, the conditions aren't perfect, and your team lands "off course"? In this Northbound Podcast Action Study, Chris builds on the previous audio episode ( Start Here ) with a practical leadership lesson drawn from D-Day, June 6, 1944 — specifically the landing at Utah Beach and the decisive leadership of General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. When troops landed at the wrong location, Roosevelt's response became a leadership moment that still teaches today: "We'll start the war from right here." This episode explores what decisive leaders do under pressure — and how you can build those traits before the pressure hits. Because the truth is: you don't magically rise to the occasion… you often fall to the level of your preparation. That's why this episode focuses on turning insight into action, not just information.
