Über diesen Titel

Leadership Under Pressure is a history and leadership podcast about what happens when leaders are forced to decide with incomplete information, limited time, and everything on the line.

Each episode examines real moments from history where leadership was tested by crisis, uncertainty, and high stakes. Some leaders rose to the moment. Many did not. The show explores decision-making under pressure, leadership failure, judgment errors, power dynamics, and how stress, fear, and urgency change the way leaders think.

From military and political crises to organizational and cultural turning points, this podcast breaks down how leaders respond when plans collapse, advice conflicts, and consequences are unavoidable. You’ll hear how small choices made under pressure can spiral into catastrophic failure, unintended consequences, or lasting change.

This is not a leadership theory podcast or a collection of motivational stories. It’s a narrative-driven exploration of real leadership decisions from history, focusing on crisis leadership, management under stress, and why pressure reveals more about leadership than success ever does.

If you’re interested in leadership under pressure, crisis decision-making, leadership lessons from history, and understanding how power behaves in moments that can’t be rehearsed—this podcast is for you.

Leadership Under Pressure Because leadership is defined in moments that don’t allow do-overs.
