Today’s guest on Your Partner In Success Radio is Retired Lieutenant Colonel Oakland McCulloch—a man who’s led troops in combat zones, shaped future military leaders, and now teaches the kind of leadership that leaves a legacy. Over his 23-year Army career, Oak served in Desert Storm, Bosnia, and Kosovo, earned 31 military awards, and played a direct role in commissioning over 600 Army officers.
But he didn’t stop there. After retiring, he turned his talents to growing ROTC programs, leading crisis relief efforts, and becoming a powerful voice on leadership in both the corporate and academic worlds. His book, Your Leadership Legacy, is a no-fluff, boots-on-the-ground guide to leading with trust, accountability, and service.
Oak doesn’t just talk about leadership—he’s lived it. And today, he’s here to share what it really takes to become the leader you were meant to be.
