Dr. Robert J. Cruz joins Robert Forto on the Peak Experience Podcast to discuss servant leadership, education, mentorship, and putting leadership principles into practice.

Cruz shares his path from an early start at the University of Connecticut to a 20-year career in the United States Air Force and, later, a return to higher education that ultimately led to a Doctor of Strategic Leadership degree.

Today, he serves as an adjunct professor, consultant, author, and founder and CEO of BEC Global Consulting Group.

A PhD studies the theory. A DSL puts it to work.

When I compared the two paths, that distinction stood out to me.

A PhD is primarily built around theoretical research. The Doctor of Strategic Leadership is a terminal practitioner degree focused on applying, testing, and integrating that research in real organizations.

For me, the DSL made sense because I was not looking to study leadership from a distance. I wanted to use the research, test it in the field, and turn theory into decisions, systems, and results.

That practitioner focus is what attracted me to the degree.

Leadership is truly tested when no one knows what will happen next and everyone turns to you for guidance.

In May 1940, Winston Churchill became the British prime minister just as N**i Germany was moving quickly across Europe. Within weeks, France was falling, and British troops had to be evacuated from Dunkirk.

Churchill faced immense pressure during one of the war’s darkest times. He didn’t pretend things were better than they were. Instead, he admitted the danger but made it clear to the British people that the country would keep fighting.

Being confident doesn’t mean ignoring reality. Leaders can see how tough things are and still give people a reason to keep going.

Churchill understood that words mattered, but those words had to be backed by resolve.

The leadership lesson remains relevant today: When circumstances are uncertain, leaders provide clarity, direction, and the determination to continue.
