About the show

Welcome to the CAPE Lead podcast, where amazing things happen. This podcast was created by retired US Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Timothy “Chachi” Pachasa, and was created to discuss emerging leadership concepts, and hopefully open up the thought process for how we interoperate with our people and our teams. CAPE Lead focuses on teaching leaders how to succeed through solid understandings of Caring, Alignment, Perspectives, and Expectations.

Ep 20-34 Three Analogies

This episode discusses our understanding of leadership concepts through the lens of three different analogies/metaphors that can help paint a picture of what we need to do while implementing leadership principles; the chef, the orchestra conductor, and the mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. My hope is that through this episode, I can help build a mental picture that will help explain why the correct application of leadership principles is so vitally important.
