Congratulations to BENSALEM, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- It's a three-peat for the Bensalem High School Marine Corps JROTC, which again earned the special recognition of 'Naval Honor School. The Headquarters Marine Corps gives the distinction and recognizes the top percentage of Marine Corps JROTC programs nationwide. Marine Corps veteran John Church, USMC(Ret.), is the Senior Marine Instructor for the program. Leadership Lessons from Col. John Church, USMC(Ret.) 1) Leaders are learners and readers. 2) Improvise, adapt and overcome. 3) Building and maintaining trust-based relationships are top priorities. 4) Prepare and train to prepare everyone for the most challenging tasks. 5) Accountability and responsibility are critical. 6) Marines have an honor code of a warrior because they are warriors. https://lnkd.in/dtnPp7ge #leadership #lessons #learning #mindset

Let’s remember all the board rooms - and battle fields - where leaders shine when given the opportunity to lean into their ability. Let’s build more opportunities for more women leaders to demonstrate their potential. #womenempowerment #iwd2024

THE LEADER TRUSTS FIRST Maj. Gen. Cameron Holt (ret., USAF), the immediate past the past Deputy Assistant Secretary of the US Air Force, has spent over three decades leading in the US military, instituting major changes and leaving a lasting impact. So, when he speaks, people learn. His most profound lesson? Trust is earned, not given. According to Holt, loyalty to your employer is owed, but trust must be earned through behavior. And who should initiate this trust? The leader. The leader should trust first. The results of Holt's philosophy were evident at a USAF conference where I had the privilege to give a keynote speech. Many hundreds of officers were attending. I talked to many of them. To the last man and woman, they would go through fire for him. Remember, trust is not something that can be demanded or commanded. It must be earned. As a leader, you need to take the first step in building trust with your team by expressing trust in them through word and action. Give them challenging tasks and don't micromanage how they accomplish it. Be there for advice and support. It will do wonders. #leadership #trust #teamwork If you enjoyed this, share it with others and follow me Jan-Benedict Steenkamp for more writing.

For my Coast Guard connections, I just learned of an interesting program being offered by the USCGA Alumni Association on "transitions" military and non-military. It available to both Alumni Association Members and Spouses. It is always worthwhile to invest in thinking about your future and making it as valuable as possible - whether working or retiring.

𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑 - 𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐑 360° More than 100 years ago, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Major General John A. Lejeune defined the fundamental concept that would guide the relationship between Marine officers and enlisted men in a brief, yet powerful statement that was inserted into the 1921 edition of the Marine Corps Manual. General Lejeune’s statement has never been surpassed in terms of accuracy or applicability to Marines of different eras, and continues to serve as one of the Marine Corps’ most important leadership concepts: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, 𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫.

In this episode of America Back to Work, we hear from Mike Sarraille, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, as he shares how military leadership principles can be applied to HR. https://lnkd.in/gFDhrFHJ

After celebrating the 4th of July yesterday, here's some historical leadership trivia for you... Who is known as the Father of the American Navy? It is none other than John Paul Jones! Who? My thoughts exactly. When thinking of great leaders during the American Revolution, John Paul Jones never comes to mind...but he should. Why? Jones' leadership was marked by his innovative and aggressive naval tactics. He believed in taking the fight directly to British ships - which was unheard of at the time. Jones' most famous battle occurred on September 23, 1779, when his ship, the Bonhomme Richard, engaged the British warship HMS Serapis off the coast of England. He and his crew were severely outnumbered. They lacked the weapons and resources needed to win. However, when asked if he wanted to surrender Jones famously said, "I have not yet begun to fight." Jones refused to quit. He believed in himself and his men. He would go on to lead his men to victory, which was a huge boost to American morale. John Paul Jones reminds us how important leadership is. If it's the most important thing on the battlefield or at sea - why is it not the most important thing for our team? Great leaders have the ability to align, unite, and inspire teams to victory - even when they're up against seemingly insurmountable odds. #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #professionaldevelopment ________ Like this post?
