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.

Ep.11 - Leadership Impact in a New Role: Immediate Change or Observe First | Command 2 Corporate
🎖️ When you’re the new leader, all eyes are on you. Should you make bold changes right away or take time to learn the culture and people first?
In this episode of Command 2 Corporate, we unpack what effective leadership looks like in those first 90 days. Drawing from our experience as veterans stepping into corporate roles, we discuss when to hit the ground running—and when to slow down, listen, and observe before making your mark.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
🔹 When stepping into a new leadership role, what's your initial approach - make changes fast or observe first?
🔹 Have you ever entered a role where you moved too fast...or too slow?
🔹 Are there risks in making immediate changes without fully understanding the culture or team dynamics?
🔹 What does a strong "listening tour" look like?
🗣️ Subscribe, like, and share if you've ever had to "take the helm" in a new role.
