Transferring these skills to the Canadian Army, Scott enrolled as a Logistics Officer in 2001 when he was selected to attend the prestigious Royal Military College of Canada. At the age of 24, Scott commanded an Army transport platoon comprising of over 80 soldiers. At 33, he was selected to command a Logistics Squadron of 200 members. In 2009, Scott was deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan where he was selected to help train, mentor, and coach members of the Afghan National Army.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show Notes<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><i>&#8220;Every time you have to speak, you are auditioning for leadership.&#8221; &#8211;James Humes<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leadership matters and in this episode of The Entrepreneurial You podcast, Scott McCarthy tells us why. There are so many important elements to being an effective leader; it just doesn\u2019t happen by chance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Communication<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a snippet of what she shared on this episode of the podcast:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Communication is key. If you can&#8217;t communicate your intent, your own vision, what you want to achieve, it&#8217;s going to fall apart. The other thing is being present, being seen you got to be able to show that you can do whatever it is that you demand of your people and I went extremely far with this. So when I was that transport platoon commander, (my job isn&#8217;t to drive vehicles, it&#8217;s not the drive to get in truck and drive the truck. But I did. I got into every piece of vehicle every piece of equipment that we owned and operated. Why? So that I had an understanding of what my guys would go through on a daily basis when they were operating that equipment. How difficult is it actually to move a semi, a tractor trailer that has a tank loaded onto the back of it. How difficult is it to move a bus, a refueling truck? Up here in Canada, snowplow, right? How difficult are those tasks to actually achieve? So that gives you actually a greater fidelity when people come to me like oh, we need this piece of equipment for this reason, actually understand quicker and then that shortens those timelines.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8212;-<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Hot Point: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to communicate with your team and to be very present with them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please share it with a friend.
