Experienced-based leadership founded on principles of integrity, ethics, and passion for service to others. I share my perspective on how leaders should confront complex organizational challenges, choosing the harder right over the easier wrong, facing the pressure of deadlines, and fear of failure.
Deeds, Not Words: enduring shared hardships and turning this philosophy into culturE
When offered a helmet of water in the harsh Gedrosian Desert, Alexander the Great refused to drink until there was enough for all his men - a powerful demonstration that true leaders share their team's hardships. 'Deeds, Not Words' became more than just a phrase in my military career; it became a philosophy demanding that leaders endure more than what they ask of their direct reports. Trust and respect are earned by action, not through words, and while they take time to earn, they can be lost in a split second.
