How an Iron Man Leads His Troops

Drawing on 33 years of experience leading Soldiers, he has quickly launched initiatives to dramatically improve the lives of our fighting force. Join hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey as they sit down with LTG Eifler to unpack the key lessons of his storied Army career, the critical focus areas of Soldier life he's tackling now, and the hilarious story of how he once forced a host to compete in a grueling Korean triathlon years ago.
