LME 063 – Leading Under Pressure – Lessons from the Nuclear and Submarine World

Today, my guest is Bill Nowicki.

Bill Nowicki

He is a former U.S. Navy submariner and nuclear power leader who has spent decades working in some of the most complex and high-stakes environments you can imagine.

Bill is also a storyteller and podcast host. His show Submarine Sea Stories takes you deep below the surface into life aboard a submarine, while The Nuclear Leader Podcast explores leadership lessons from the nuclear industry that apply far beyond the reactor room.

In our conversation, we’ll talk about what it’s like to lead in highly regulated, high-risk industries, how trust and relationships can make or break your team, and why creativity still matters even in the most structured environments.

If you want to hear more of Bill’s insights and stories, I highly recommend you check them out at submarineseastories or nuclearleader.com
