00:00.910 --> 00:02.620
- Hi, Chief Master Sergeant Ron Harper,

00:02.620 --> 00:04.237
your Command Chief here at Wing 1.

00:04.237 --> 00:05.780
I'm here to talk about initiatives,

00:05.780 --> 00:06.670
where we're gonna highlight

00:06.670 --> 00:08.310
some of our outstanding supervisors

00:08.310 --> 00:10.520
that we have here at
Malmstrom Air Force Base.

00:10.520 --> 00:13.670
Having a good supervisor
is key to anyone's career.

00:13.670 --> 00:16.130
I, myself, have had some great supervisors

00:16.130 --> 00:18.280
that have helped coach,
and mentor, and develop me

00:18.280 --> 00:20.510
into the Chief that you see here today.

00:20.510 --> 00:21.560
So, let's start off

00:21.560 --> 00:23.046
by hearing about one of
our great supervisors

00:23.046 --> 00:24.813
that we have here at Malmstrom.

00:24.813 --> 00:25.646
(upbeat music)

00:25.646 --> 00:26.479
- He's awesome.

00:26.479 --> 00:28.506
I had him since day one,

00:28.506 --> 00:32.750
since I got here on Flight,
which was August of 2017.

00:32.750 --> 00:34.220
He's been pretty good to me.

00:34.220 --> 00:36.829
He's been everything
that I wouldn't expect

00:36.829 --> 00:38.590
in the Air Force.

00:38.590 --> 00:39.778
I only thought supervisors

00:39.778 --> 00:42.037
were just supposed to micromanage you.

00:42.037 --> 00:44.950
And he is actually, he's
the complete opposite.

00:44.950 --> 00:46.111
He gave me responsibility,

00:46.111 --> 00:47.911
and then he treated me like a human.

00:49.090 --> 00:50.360
Senior Airman Pride,

00:50.360 --> 00:52.730
he was my first troop while we were here.

00:52.730 --> 00:55.160
We both got the flight
the same day together.

00:55.160 --> 00:58.980
So since day one, he
was my first troop here

00:58.980 --> 01:01.973
and I was also his first-line supervisor.

01:02.990 --> 01:05.400
- Oh, we just have that perfect balance,

01:05.400 --> 01:07.890
in our relationship,
as supervisor trooper.

01:07.890 --> 01:11.960
He helped me to find who I
am and my passions in life,

01:11.960 --> 01:15.400
just by being here and
actually having to sit down,

01:15.400 --> 01:18.311
and actually think about what
I want for my Air Force career

01:18.311 --> 01:20.650
and also my personal life.

01:20.650 --> 01:23.910
- That's the biggest thing
that I find in a leader,

01:23.910 --> 01:26.690
is building that trust
with those individuals.

01:26.690 --> 01:31.170
The way I do that is by
showing that I care for 'em,

01:31.170 --> 01:35.690
communicate, and also show my
competence in my job, as well.

01:35.690 --> 01:38.320
Essentially with that, with competence,

01:38.320 --> 01:41.130
I'm not afraid to get
my feet dirty as well,

01:41.130 --> 01:44.120
remembering where we came
from, doing those jobs

01:44.120 --> 01:47.010
that maybe no one wants
to do at that moment,

01:47.010 --> 01:49.310
and doing it with it with them.

01:49.310 --> 01:51.270
As you can see, we have
some outstanding supervisors

01:51.270 --> 01:52.870
here at Wing 1.

01:52.870 --> 01:54.650
If you'd like to nominate your supervisor,

01:54.650 --> 01:56.230
please get with your leadership.

01:56.230 --> 01:58.246
We are Wing 1.

01:58.246 --> 02:01.663
(exciting, moving music)
