In this powerful episode of the nation’s number one video podcast on military transition and leadership, SMA (R) Tilley sits down with COL (R) Dr. Peter M. Tan. Dr. Tan is a remarkable leader whose journey spans from the son of immigrant World War II Veterans to a distinguished 40-year Army career, maxillofacial surgeon, former Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army (CASA) for Tampa Bay, and Board Chairman for HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital.
Dr. Tan shares profound wisdom on what it truly means to lead. He unpacks his signature Humble Command Method, explaining why rank only buys you compliance, but character is what makes people want to follow you. From navigating impostor syndrome in early leadership roles at St. John’s College High School JROTC and Notre Dame ROTC to relying on the irreplaceable backbone of military NCOs, Dr. Tan offers a masterclass in servant leadership.
