This conversation is with Scott Pastell, a 2007 Naval Academy graduate and former Surface Warfare Officer. We discuss his orders to the University of Nebraska to be an ROTC instructor where he earned a master's degree in education and planned his transition to civilian life.

We discuss his approach to leadership by trying to influence to a maximal level with minimal power by creating mechanisms that inspire the "want-to" instead of the "force-to." Scott is creating systems of Gamification at the individual and team level to infuse his coworkers with a sense of drive and purpose through positive reinforcement.
