Why is it so important for this group to downplay the significance of sexual misconduct in the CAF? They suggest that addressing and attempting to change the cultural issues within the CAF would somehow diminish the so-called warrior spirit. This group of highly educated individuals with long-standing careers in the CAF fails to show empathy and understanding for the victims. Instead, they push the narrative that the CAF is struggling with its image, procurement, and personnel quality. Why not show empathy while making these points? Why do they feel the need to undermine a just cause to push their agenda? If the CAF claims to be a family, what kind of family member would step on another to silence or discredit them? While I respect those who have had long careers in the CAF, I believe this approach does not demonstrate a willingness to change and reflect the best that society has to offer. This does not uphold the higher standards to which the CAF should aspire. Frankly, I am disappointed in the exchange of ideas presented in this podcast and I sorely hope that members of the CAF continue on with the culture change.

My article on Military Leadership and it’s relevance for the corporate world. Published in The Daily Guardisn today. The essence is the same. It’s somewhat edited but retains the crux. https://lnkd.in/gi92fD5H

I used to break private sector leadership this way, if you supervise actual people performing tasks(either physical or office) you would be a supervisor, if you managed supervisors you were a manager, if you directed managers you were a director, if you lead directors you usually were nearing upper management and if you had exec directors or VP report to you this was executive management. Depends upon the size of the company, a Director at a big company is a BIG position, a Manager at a small company might be "lower" management. Be careful of your transition expectations based upon titles. I have seen big salaried with lots of responsibility from a Manager or an Asst. Director or Team Leader, or other non typical titles. Look at salary, responsibility, skills and who the position reports to, prior judging the job based upon title.

Being a military member presents unique challenges outside the battlefield. Here are five key hurdles they often face: 1. Esteem Distress: Transitioning to civilian roles can be tough. 2. The Generalist's Curse: Civilian leaders often specialize before assuming broader roles. 3. Definition of Experience: Civilian life highly values relevant experience. 4. Leadership as a Function: Leadership is equated with specific functions. 5. Coexistence of Cynicism and Idealism: In military culture, idealism and cynicism coexist. #All #ActiveDuty #TransitioningMilitary #MilitarySpouses #Reservists #Veterans #ACTNowEducation
