I recommend this video highly and I really hope that it informs my leadership from today. Mr David marquee is a superb speaker and very entertaining. This is groundbreaking thinking and I hope it influences me positively to do my job better..
One thing his book doesn’t convey is having a good sense of humour is a brilliant tool in achieving effective communication. He is funny and engaging. This makes him approachable.
During WW2, most Officers were "90 day wonders" Brining their civilian leadership into the military. As such, these officers and NCO's developed a comradery with their men knowing each of their abilities. As such, the men were able to operate at the lowest level possible. One German General commented "The reason Americans are so good in combat is because war is chaos! And the American military practices Chad on a daily basis!"
I really enjoyed this too, interestingly the breakdown that caused the breakthrough was not knowing. Also the "millennial" that he had been trying to ignore pointed David towards not giving commands and instead empowering others. Thanks
I joined the Sub force in 1977. Back then, we still had the old school sub force mentality where this is how we operated. When Regan became President, things became toxic. Top down management, micromanagement. Every day was another day wondering if we were going to mast. In 1990, I refused to re enlist. On my checkout interview I removed my Dolphins and threw them on the XO's desk. I ended up doing another 13 years in a Reserve EOD unit. In the EOD community, the Officers and Enlisted go through the same training. As such, there is a bond between us. The 13 years in Reserve EOD was like night and day
Hello David... Is the RADM in the wardroom photo Frank Caldwell? He was a two-star when assigned as COMSUBPAC. The state of his hair loss at the time fits pretty well. We were both in the 8th company and served as junior officers on USS BOSTON (SSN-703) together. We had two other classmates on board (Tim Ryan and Mike Parke). Only Frank went on to a department head tour. It is great to still see him serving as an Admiral over 39 years after graduation.
wow 3 minutes in and what a reveal !! I thought jealousy was always a foreign country so to speak and now I realize intelligence is also a form of jealousy. I always wanted to think your opposition ( way of thinking, drama, disagreements, who hope you fail ) was a different perception or philosophy, not that any man from the same side would be your attacker for personal reasons ..A VERY LONG STORY...you get yourself into your created thought ( true) you created the process of being a military WOW...commanding people ...why would you dislike your own side? long story I think it is
I just think your video to be so intelligent ! PENAL CODE --yes penal code --assault is a crime. its difficult to think of any other form of authority--we live under democracy WOW OH MY GOD !! unreal....we have actions that do not constitute one single man as an authority ! we have things called crimes and rights can you imagine...freedom, rights to speak or comment, right to disagree, right to file a legal complaint, the right not to be assaulted by the government. ABSOLUTELY JUST AMAZING to know how really DIFFICULT LEADERSHIP IS!!
