Attacking Global Poverty and Political Partisanship the Marine Recon Way

Jake Harriman is leading from the front of major issues with the same determination and courage as he did as a recon platoon leader in Iraq and Africa. He spoke with PBS NewsHour Special Correspondent and Marines’ Memorial Board member, Mike Cerre, on the concept and real-world tests of servant leadership.

About Leading from the Front:
Our monthly video series shares timeless leadership lessons learned by a variety of professionals, thought leaders and experts on the front lines of today’s major leadership challenges in all walks of American life.

Conducted virtually from the Marines’ Memorial Club, these timely and insightful conversations are a digital extension of the major lectures and events that normally take place at our 12-story hotel, theater, event spaces and restaurant in downtown San Francisco.

The viewpoints expressed are those of the participants and not necessarily the Marines’ Memorial.
