Command 2 Corporate
Welcome to Command 2 Corporate!
We’re your hosts, Larry Perry and Tawofik “T” Ghazal—two Army veterans who took different paths in service but found common ground in corporate America. One of us, a retired Lieutenant Colonel with over 20 years of leadership experience in the military, and the other, a former Staff Sergeant who served a decade before transitioning into the business world.
Together, we break down our thoughts on leadership—from the motor pool to the boardroom, and everywhere in between.
This is for leaders in transition and leaders in the making. It’s for up-and-coming professionals trying to find their place; the team players, the quiet influencers, the culture builders, and the ones doing the hard work without a spotlight. No fluff, no gimmicks—just real talk from those who’ve led through challenges, adapted under pressure, and thrived in the face of change.
Leadership isn’t just taught, it’s lived. Let’s get to work.

How do strong team dynamics fall apart—and how do office politics play a hidden role in that breakdown? In this two-part episode of Command 2 Corporate, we dig into the real-world challenges of cross-functional collaboration in the workplace, especially when office politics, silos, or egos get in the way.
From our experience leading in both the military and corporate America, we share practical strategies to foster trust across departments, handle political undercurrents, and protect team performance without playing the game.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
🔹 Though there can be positive aspects of Office Politics, the negative seem to present more.
🔹 Don't be a spotlight ranger!
🔹 More and more it's all about who you know.
