The Super Bowl this year sure was an interesting one! The falcons sure thought that they were going to win! Most of us watch the Super Bowl for the game right? Well some of us watch I just for the halftime show. During the actual game the Patriots sure made an outstanding comeback! For those of us who watch it just for the halftime show, that was a great one! The wait was worth it. The halftime show could have inspired the Patriots to comeback for the win! Lady Gaga began her show on the roof of…

Encouraging the Heart: I was marked low in "Makes it a point to let people know about his confidence in their abilities." This one stung because I often laud great work and put my people in for awards and recognition more than any other Chief in my mess. I realized it is one thing to reward hard work, but another to tell them "you can do it" as they set off to do something. Rewarding vs. Encouraging. This is also similar to my Enabling Others low mark where I feel my confidence in my abilities…

The Kansas City Chiefs have put themselves on the proverbial ropes the first 4 weeks of the 2015 NFL season, losing 3 out of those first 4 contests, two in heartbreaking fashion. It seemed a welcome reprieve would be the dysfunctional franchise from the Windy City, otherwise known as the “Monsters of the Midway”. The 2015 version of the Chicago Bears resembled nothing even close to your grandpa’s Midway Monsters. The Bears were weak at the wide receiver position, and quarterback Jay Cutler had…

During the 1990’s to early 2000’s, the modern world faced a cavernous gap in the area of leadership in both the public and private sector. Indeed, a “chronic crisis of governance—that is, the pervasive incapacity of organizations to cope with the expectations of their constituents—is [now] an overwhelming factor worldwide” (Rothwell, 2010). The days of apprenticing oneself under a master tradesman are by and large, gone. According to Rothwell (2010, p. xx), “Employees wonder what kind of…

If a Chief Petty Officer (E7-E9) is caught fraternizing he or she will receive the same as an officer except will be charged with Fraternization. If a junior enlisted member (E1-E6) they will be charged with Fraternization, reduced in rank, receive restriction but will be allowed to stay in the military. I feel that this is a just chastisement because Officers and Chief Petty Officers are held to a higher standard and are appointed by…
