I recently read an article by the Chairman of Jet Blue, Joel Peterson. He writes about what is takes to become a CEO and stay there. This led me to deep thinking of where I am on my goals in a leadership capacity. I have been blessed to be part of many teams that gave me the opportunity to grow my skills. Just recently I have been able to reconnect with members of a unit that I was assigned to in Erlangen, Germany. Catching up with them has been a remarkable experience. We were all brought together in Ft. Sill, Oklahoma to become the 3rd MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) battery made for the United States Army. I learned so much from the leaders of C Battery 1/94 FA. I learned what it takes to be a leader versus a manager. A leader is not afraid to make the tough decisions. A leader knows how to make it about the team and not about himself. Throughout my career in the Army, Wal-Mart logistics, SAIC, and now with BAE I have been given the opportunity to realize my dreams of leading teams that were high performing. I was and am successful because of the teammates around me. One of the skills Mr. Peterson writes about is wisdom.In my daily prayers I ask God for wisdom. It gives me the peace of mind that I will make the right decisions at the right time. My last question when I am interviewing job applicants is if they could have one super power what would it be. There is not a right or wrong answer but my answer is wisdom. With this superpower I am able to lead others with a servant mentality.
