Lead As If Your Life Depends On It with Yale School of Management Professor, General Thomas Kolditz
 A firefighter rushes into a burning building. An army commander leads his troops through a dangerous mission. An ordinary woman helps her colleagues evacuate the building safely and efficiently after an earthquake. In times of emergency, people often display incredible leadership in the face of danger and uncertainty. What can we learn from those situations and how can we cultivate the same values in less dangerous, yet still high-stakes moments? Drawing on real-life extreme situations, retired Brigadier General and West Point instructor Professor Thomas Kolditz's in extremis leadership model translates these lessons into a framework for leading effectively in your career and life. Join Host Kate Ebner this Veteran's Day (November 11) for this special show to celebrate the extraordinary leadership of the men and women who have served in our armed forces.

As husband and wife co-owners of Sunrise Orchards, an apple farm in Cornwall, Vermont, they don't worry about overbearing bosses as much as a late frost, and the rows of the 60,000 apple trees that make up the farm surely beat a sterile cubicle for a workspace. But on the November 4 episode of Visionary Leader, Extraordinary Life, the duo said their challenges are similar to those of any other business owner or entrepreneur.

3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
5 Tbsp cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Preheat over to 375 degrees. Butter an 8 x 8 pan and set aside. (I use a deep dish pie plate or casserole)
- Combine the apples, cranberries and sugar in a large bowl and spread into prepared pan.
- Combine flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg. Stir in the syrup and cut in butter until coarse meal forms. Spoon over fruit to cover.
- Bake in the oven until juices are bubbling, apples are tender, and the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
