Summary
This video is an interview with Courtney Lynch, a former Marin Corps Captin. In this interview she introduce her book, Leading from the front. This book is about leadership tatics for the female officers. When she worked for Marin Corps, there was only 1,000 female officers, compared to 180,000 male officers. This situation made her to be interested in woman's leadership skill, so she wrote this book after quiting her job.
Mrs. Lynch said female leaders need two kinds of leadership skills. One is comon skills for both man and woman such as being decisive, having courage, and setting vision. The other is just for woman, and it is about a emotional issue, that is, right styles of communications. For example, pepering one's speech with "I'm sorry" or having tears in office place is not good for one's leadership, she said.
Also, she talks about making decisions. In business fields, it is impossible to get 100% perfect informations, so it is not good to try to seek right answers always. In other words, there was no perpect right decisions and perpect wrong ones. She argues a choice makes progress.

Opinion
This interview consists of 6 questions and answers, and through these the author explain her experiences and thoughts in detail. These makes listeners (exactly female officers) to want to buy her book for improving their leadership skills, I think.
