When Chief Mangan first became the Chief for Spokane, Washington, he did not have a plan in place that would spell out how the department would move to community policing. (2016). Chief Mangan noticed that the department was understaffed. Furthermore, he recognized that the current police officers were in a building that resembled something from a world war. One of the first things that Chief Mangan wanted to implement or boost was the morale of his department. By doing so know he began to…

“Everyone get on the deck!” CO Pichoff yelled. (CO means Commanding Officer. The Commanding Officer for the Eisenhower Squadron was CO Pichoff). I quickly learned what that meant when I saw everyone doing push-ups including myself. Apparently, no one yelled attention on deck when the CO walked in.

The CO then ordered everyone to get ready…

In my opinion, I feel that their should be more emphasis on roles and responsibilities as we have a lot of newly created positions that share similar job duties as other team members. I believe their…

Recently, it was decided that all state government employees needed to complete Lean Six Sigma White Belt training. Essentially, this training is designed to combine Lean’s methods for reducing waste and maximizing flow in processes and Six Sigma’s methods for using measurement tools to decrease the variations that lead to inefficiency in processes.

Like many young leaders I started as an NCO with significant motivation, aggressive approach, and a desire to control all outcomes within the scope of my responsibility. Life, experience, mentorship and above all else failure has definitively shaped me as a leader. Mentorship and experience directly correlate to the profession of arms and the development of leadership proficiency. However, I find that the spectrum of life and lessons from failures (both professionally and personally) more…

Online questionnaires would be a better choice since people can type out their answers and store the information electronically. An online questionnaire would have graphics attached, check boxes, pull down menus, pop up menus, and help screens. Printed questionnaires would be good for those that do not have access to the internet and there are some people that are not receptive to completing questionnaires online. For any questionnaire, let us try to “Avoid open-ended questions. In most cases…

Drill Sergeant First Class Greene taught me what an Army Non-Commissioned Officer leader should be from my first days in the Army.
