What does leadership look like when the stakes are life and death?

In this powerful episode of the HEART Leadership Podcast, Sara Valentine speaks with Dr. Mark Hertling, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General, professor of leadership, and author of If I Don’t Return.

Dr. Hertling shares the deeply personal story behind his book—letters he wrote to his sons while deployed in war. These letters were never intended for publication. They were written in uncertainty, responsibility, and love.

In this conversation, Sara and Dr. Hertling explore:

• Leadership under extreme uncertainty

• The power of vulnerability in leadership

• Faith, character, and responsibility in leadership

• The values leaders must pass to the next generation

Dr. Hertling’s reflections remind us that leadership is not about rank or title—it’s about character, service, and the people we influence along the way.

This episode is a powerful reminder that the greatest leaders don’t just lead organizations—they shape lives.
