Santi,
Welcome to post command. I learned more in post command thinking about what I had done, why I did it and how to be better. Â What I love about your post is the honesty and self reflection. Thanks for for the contribution

These are great, Tiara! I’ve heard these so many times I had forgotten they were all Colin Powell. Which one resonates with you?

George,
I love this topic because it is so timeless.
The number one thing I wish I knew was how powerful organizational culture is. Culture trumps every strategy I’ve ever developed.
CDSP plan, do you have a culture that values accountability? Â If not it’s going to be hard to sustain that plan.
Want empowerment? Does your culture support…[Read more]

cale replied to the topic Turn the Ship Around! Final Week Discussion in the forum Junior Officer 5 years, 11 months ago
Ray, for me it started with OPD, then an NCODP. I needed to create the space for NCOs and Officers to agree to allow I intend to….. I saw this as a key first step.
During my final OPD on Leader-Leader model we conducted a pre-mortem. In a pre-mortem you assume whatever you tried failed. You then list the reasons why it failed. Its a great…[Read more]

Ness,
Great question and the eternal bane of being an M-day leader in the reserves. My solution has been this:
1) Create an understanding and expectation that as officers and leaders we are expected to do “homework” in order to be successful. Leadership doesn’t end with final formation. Therefore, as a staff officer we expect you to com…[Read more]

Bringing this discussion back!
Company commanders, anything new to add?
How has recent strategic guidance (Large-scale combat ops, Focus on China/Russia, focus on ‘expeditionary’ etc) impacted your command or unit?

– What are your first steps toward leader-leader?
The author said it best, “each organization is different and unique. The people making up the organization have different backgrounds and a different level of tolerance for empowerment.” Given that view, leader-leader model starts with assessing yourself, how you (as a leader) fit in your…[Read more]

george.l.gurrola started the topic JO and strategy in the forum Junior Officer 6 years ago
I found this article relevant to the conversation here at JO Fourm. I think junior officers have become more curious and yearned for more conversations at the strategic level. Yet, our professional military education limits this type of development until later.

“Recently, though, the…[Read more]
