I get out of bed every morning driven by a personal why.
To lead powerful people and manage excellent products by becoming brilliant in the basics.I learn, teach and mentor, so others may survive and thrive. This means I frequently think about leadership, mission, team, incentives, and customers.
I believe in setting the example, accomplishing worthy missions and taking care of our people.
I speak on my own behalf—never my employers. If that ever changes I will explicitly say so IN the communication itself.
Good post. Agree a great way to build career capital. Also aligned at the high level. Most join the military to do good. Many who leave it do so because of the effectiveness question.
It’s what led me to leave after 8 years in the Corps with 18 months in Afghanistan.
Thanks for the writing.
