Objective Arete Podcast | Episode Title: No MBA, No Ego, No Excuses – The Leadership Legacy of Terry Peters Terry Peters is more than a retired Green Beret—he’s the embodiment of authentic leadership. As a legendary Senior Enlisted Leader in the U.S. Army Special Forces, Terry wasn’t a man who just spoke about values—he lived them. He led from the front, always placing character before comfort and people before personal gain. After an elite military career, Terry traded camouflage for strategy, founding Leader Solutions and Decision Support (LSDS)—a company that’s quietly dominated its space for over 14 years. No MBA. No shortcuts. Just relentless integrity, clarity of mission, and leadership that delivers. In this episode, we go beyond the resume. We dive into Terry’s core leadership philosophies, the failures that shaped him, and the lessons every aspiring leader needs to hear. Whether you’re stepping into your first leadership role or trying to lead at a higher level—this conversation is a masterclass.
