"We call it a Crazy Ivan" with Jeff Sigel on Hunt for Red October

"Russian captains sometimes turn suddenly to see if anyone's
behind them. We call it a "Crazy Ivan." The only thing you can do
is go dead. Shut everything down and make like a hole in the
water." (Seaman Jones)


Feeling stuck in a difficult career situation?


In this weeks episode of "Leadershipkino" we dive underwater into

book "The middle matters" looking back on over 20 years of
experience in product management in the food business shares how
he sometimes changed the path of his career and his teams just as
the submarine commander by using a sudden, sharp turn to
outmaneuver difficult situations. Find out how you can employ
bold, unconventional tactics to navigate the complex waters of
