Great opportunities

There is a new addition to my Website ! I have started a blog. The blog will be updated regularly and I'm planning to cover a variety of topics based upon historical events, and anniversaries, but also the relevance of history to businesses in the twenty first century, and what lessons history has for the modern workplace. The blog can be found here: https://lnkd.in/enig8fuD The first looks at why a history degree is still relevant to companies today and why recruiters should consider history graduates when recruiting for PR, Marketing, Business Analyst and System Engineer roles among others.

What does it mean to have an arsenal of democracy today? How do we incentivize industry to invest in capabilities that contribute to national defense? How do we incentivize the acquisition workforce and military leaders to manage (not avoid) risks while innovating at speed and scale? This framework guided the conversation of our panel of Service Acquisition Flag Officers, chaired by Michael Williamson, President of Lockheed Martin. Panelists were Alice T., Frank Lozano, Chris Manning, David Walsh, and Cherissa T. Lots of consensus that we need to get the incentives right, and people need to understand the "why" behind requests to go faster or operate differently. From this year's 21st Annual Acquisition Research Symposium, co-hosted with Naval Warfare Studies Institute at Naval Postgraduate School and Department of Defense Management at Naval Postgraduate School.

First: They talk through and demonstrate what they think they have learned and by doing so they learn even more in a collaborative manner with the person they are teaching. Second doing so instills the importance of sharing what we have learned and ensuring that everyone on their team has at least the same base knowledge of how things operate/ happen. What does this equal? It equals teamwork, safety, trust in each other, better communication, collaboration skills, growth mindset, self improvement etc… To be a good leader you need to follow. There are several good books on Leadership Through Followership for building leaders. Put encouraging phrases around your workplace. Believe them and practice them. Grow together as a team. Put the phones down, turn the TV’s off and re-engage in conversation and building friends for a lifetime.

Did you know? As Department of Defense (DoD) oversees the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA), the Back-to-Basics (B2B) framework aligns the acquisition workforce to better focus our resources. Empowerment is critical to leverage innovative thinking as the acquisition workforce equips the warfighter at the speed of relevance. The NADP Entry Level Employees (ELE) follow the B2B framework in the NADP as part of their development plan. Our NADP ELE’s serve the Department of the Navy (DON) and the DON serves the DoD. #hierarchy
