Today, I had the honor of meeting General Rainey, a visionary leader at the forefront of transforming the U.S. Army. His commitment to modernizing how we fight, and his approach to leadership is clearly reflected in the outstanding team he’s built at the Army Futures Command (AFC). General Rainey is known for his powerful stance on the future of warfare: "First contact in future wars will not rely on human forces alone but will employ unmanned technologies to handle initial, high-stakes engagements." His vision reflects a shift toward preserving lives by using advanced, autonomous systems in the earliest stages of conflict and capitalizing on their incredible value add in capacity, capability and more—an approach that has the potential to redefine our military strategy and save lives. Under his command, AFC is actively designing the formations and doctrines that will shape the Army of tomorrow. But to bring this vision to life, industry needs to step up, pushing the boundaries of innovation and collaboration. Critically, Congress and the DoD will need to cut through the red tape and accelerate the process of testing, iterating, and integrating new systems, moving from the current 5-10-year timelines to a rapid 12-18 months. If you’re watching for the leaders who will reshape warfare, watch the Army, and keep your eyes on General Rainey and the exceptional team at AFC. They’re planning for the future—now.

?? Innovation Alert! Celebrating a major milestone at McChord AFB with the successful Operational Test of Jet Dash! Kudos to visionary Airman, Jacob Sullivan, for spearheading this initiative and the 62nd Maintenance Group for all the support and feedback. Jet Dash revolutionizes the management of Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE), much like a commercial food delivery app, from order to drop-off, you can keep track of your AGE equipment. What This Means: Jet Dash is specifically designed to accelerate the deployment and management of AGE, which is crucial for maintaining and operating aircraft efficiently. The Impact: By efficiently managing and dispatching AGE, Jet Dash significantly reduces delays and improves in-transit visibility, streamlining ground operations at McChord AFB. ?? Huge thanks to Team PA at McChord for their coverage of this project: https://lnkd.in/dX4Ch28r #JetDash #Innovation #McChordAFB USAF Photo By: Airman 1st Class Kylee Tyus

So yesterday my friend and #Vistage Chair colleague Jim Ristuccia posted a photo which brought me immediately back to my days as a #USNavy helicopter pilot. It also spurred me to post this observation which I have stated so many times about #Leadership. In the Navy, you can walk down the waterfront or along the flight line and see ship after ship or squadron after squadron of like ships or aircraft. These parallel ships/squadrons have exactly the same characteristics, the same exact budgets, access to the same pool of parts, materials, manpower, etc. They are basically indistinguishable from each other. Yet within the first 15 minutes onboard you can tell which unit is the best, and certainly which one is the worst - in nearly every category - performance, morale, readiness, culture, etc. The only difference is the #Leadership provided from the Commanding Officer on down through their wardroom, Chiefs Mess and individual Sailors. The leadership permeates every aspect of life within that ship or squadron and clearly separates the "Best" from the rest.

Battle of Midway “T3” Leadership! June 4th: 82nd?anniversary of the start of The Battle of Midway.?It was way more than a victory; it was a decisive turning point of WWII in the Pacific and greatest naval battle in US history - maybe world history! At Midway, a larger Japanese fleet was surprised and defeated by a smaller, less combat experienced USN. Victory was enabled by inspirational contributions of: - Intelligence TEAMWORK.?CDR Joe Rochefort, LCDR Ed Layton and LT Jasper Holmes led a team that broke enemy code and invented the art of Operational Intelligence (OPINTEL) which resulted in a game-changing decision advantage for the Americans - ADM Nimitz’s motivational TONE.?He placed huge trust in Task Force Commanders, Spruance and Fletcher. Nimitz's principle of “calculated risk” conveyed intent for subordinates to act boldly without him getting overly involved in their tactical details? - TENACITY, courage, and inspirational sacrifice by Navy, Marine and Army Air Force servicemen.?Within several minutes, American bombs tore into four Japanese aircraft carriers. All were eventually sunk, along with more than 300 aircraft +?3,000 sailors and aviators. After Midway, Japan lost an aura of invincibility and ability to effectively maintain another offensive.?Midway is overlooked by the our public due to distant geography and a shared anniversary with D-Day.? There are only three national monuments honoring Midway.?We need more. Attention Secretary of the Navy:?We Need Another USN Ship Named USS MIDWAY!

This is how to hold an audience on the edge of their seats..

From Battlefield to Boardroom: Leadership Lessons Learned in Military Aviation Building a high-performing team requires exceptional leadership. My journey began alongside some of the most respected figures in the U.S. Army - leaders like Raymond Thomas, Stanley McCrystal, Joe Votel, Jasper Jeffers, Brendan Durkan, Thomas Williams, Alex Kupratty, Brett Johnson, and John D Maloy ?- during my service in the prestigious 75th Ranger Regiment. These individuals honed their leadership skills through real-world experience. From Grenada and Somalia to the Global War on Terror, they faced complex challenges and led their teams to success. This instilled in me the core tenets of effective leadership: unwavering dedication to duty, meticulous execution, and a laser focus on mission accomplishment. My path then transitioned to the demanding world of Army Rotary Wing Aviation. Here, I honed my technical skills by mastering various UH-60 Black Hawk variants and other airframes. While the environment changed, the fundamental leadership principles remained constant. Tactical vehicle maneuvers became complex air assault operations, squad-sized missions evolved into large-scale, multi-domain deployments, and squad automatic weapons were replaced by helicopter door guns. The weight of responsibility remains paramount. As an aviation leader, I understand that the lives entrusted to my crews and me are of the utmost importance. Precision and flawless execution are essential. However, the transferable skills I acquired are invaluable. Effective leadership, exceptional problem-solving abilities, technical proficiency, clear communication, and unwavering adaptability are crucial assets in any environment. The civilian world may not demand the same level of constant vigilance, but the desire for strong leadership transcends boundaries. Military aviators are forged in the crucible of high-pressure situations, where success hinges on strategic decision-making and flawless execution. By integrating these valuable skills into the civilian workforce, we can contribute significantly to the success of your organization.

On December 7, 1941, the United States was thrust into World War II when the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was appointed Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet later that month. He oversaw the Allie's island-hopping campaign to systematically defeat the Japanese-held territories throughout the Pacific Ocean and led pivotal battles, including Midway. When the war ended, Admiral Nimitz became the Chief of Naval Operations. He made one of his more lasting legacies in this role: the Blue Angels. The Blue Angels are the Navy's flight exhibition team. Maybe you have seen them in action with their close-flying diamond formation (18" apart) and high-speed, low-ground maneuverers. Since its founding, a team of six Blue Angel fighter pilots tours the country, headlining airshows. Does the Navy need the Blue Angels? Of course not. The Blue Angel squadron does not make better fighter pilots. The Navy has other training for that. Why then form and keep the Blue Angels? Sometimes you need a little sizzle. Admiral Nimitz saw the general public lose interest and awareness in naval aviation as he led the Navy's post-war transition and demobilization. Pilots are essential to a Naval Fleet's attacking and defensive capabilities. Nimitz's vision was for the Blue Angels to demonstrate the professionalism and skill of naval aviators. Look, we know the memes about runners. We always wear GPS watches and talk about upcoming races and how long we ran this weekend. Does that sound like you? It does me. Remember, though, that you can overdo this, and we should realize (gasp!) that not everyone is as interested in running as we are. But don't lose the sizzle. It's good to remind those around you that you run. Maybe you will inspire them to start running when they see running's tremendous health and mental benefits on you. We're not Admiral Nimitz. However, there's no reason we can't have a similar lasting legacy. #running #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #marathon #marathontraining #supplements #research #runcommunity #runningcommunity #peregrune

It was inspiring to hear from Col. Nicole Malachowski today at #OKO25 about honoring the wingman contract, pushing the envelope and living the OpenText values. During her talk, she highlights 3 qualities that she has witnessed & experienced first hand with high performing teams and they were: 1. Teamwork: Nothing of significance is ever accomplished alone. (If that didn't hit you, read that again). 2. Trust: The importance of being trustworthy with the people, teams, customer, and partners around you. 3. Vulnerability: Being honest to the core values, staying accountable and honoring the "wingman contract". For us OpenTexters, it's about: Raising the Bar, Owning the Outcome, We Not I, Creating the Future, and Be Deserving of Trust. Here's to kicking off FY2025, Lets GOOO!!! ?????? #TeamOpenText #OKO2025 #LetsGO!
