In this episode of Deciding Factors, Admiral John Polowczyk discusses how, after he was asked to lead the White House supply chain task force, he saw it as a duty as a naval officer.

What’s more, because members of his own family worked in the medical profession, he felt a personal sense of urgency to succeed in getting the necessary supplies in the right hands. He assumed responsibility and took charge of the operation to move it forward.
