TODAY’S GUEST

It is not everyday that a 3rd grader gets the opportunity to interview a Four-Star General, and we were so honored that General Stanley McChrystal agreed to be a guest on Eva’s show. General McChrystal served in the military for 34 years, and before his retirement was commander of US and International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) Afghanistan. His command included more than 150,000 troops from 45 allied countries. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates described General McChrystal as “perhaps the finest warrior and leader of men in combat I ever met.”

General McChrystal now serves as a senior fellow at Yale University Jackson Institute for Global Affairs where he teaches a course on Leadership in Operation. And he co-founded the McChrystal Group in January of 2011 where he is currently a partner. McChrystal Group’s mission is to deliver innovative leadership solutions to American businesses to help them transform and succeed in challenging and dynamic environments.
