00:04.140 --> 00:07.810
So Lieutenant Colonel Baron has a

00:07.820 --> 00:10.590
unique organization of a total of six

00:10.590 --> 00:12.890
companies spread across two and three

00:12.890 --> 00:16.080
installations in two states . Um What

00:16.080 --> 00:18.000
she does is allow her company

00:18.000 --> 00:20.870
commanders at the lowest level to make

00:20.870 --> 00:23.600
decisions . She counsels them , she

00:23.600 --> 00:25.656
guides them , she mentors them . She

00:25.656 --> 00:28.200
absolutely leads from the heart . Uh

00:28.200 --> 00:30.422
And I believe that's one of the reasons

00:30.422 --> 00:32.840
why maximum has been so successful and

00:32.840 --> 00:35.007
the commander's trust her leadership .

00:35.007 --> 00:37.080
This relationship that we have is a

00:37.080 --> 00:39.302
very unique relationship and this is my

00:39.302 --> 00:41.350
first time in command . And working

00:41.350 --> 00:43.461
with Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Barron

00:43.461 --> 00:45.294
has been an absolute honor , her

00:45.294 --> 00:47.530
kindness , her generosity , her

00:47.530 --> 00:49.900
compassion and her loyalty to and

00:49.900 --> 00:52.360
commitment to this unit uh speaks

00:52.360 --> 00:54.280
volumes and she's dedicated every

00:54.280 --> 00:56.460
single day and I am admired by her

00:56.460 --> 00:58.810
leadership . Honestly , there's in my

00:58.810 --> 01:00.754
mind , there's just one thing that

01:00.754 --> 01:02.977
that's required for good leadership and

01:02.977 --> 01:04.921
that's being genuine , right ? You

01:04.921 --> 01:06.977
can't fake true concern for people .

01:06.977 --> 01:09.032
You can't fake care . It's got to be

01:09.032 --> 01:08.910
something that you hold in your own

01:08.910 --> 01:12.180
heart genuinely manifest outside . And

01:12.180 --> 01:14.402
that's how marines end up getting taken

01:14.402 --> 01:16.347
care of by leaders , by people who

01:16.347 --> 01:18.402
truly care . I can honestly say that

01:18.402 --> 01:20.569
every single unit I've ever been in in

01:20.569 --> 01:20.170
the Marine Corps has been the best unit

01:20.180 --> 01:22.540
in the Marine corps . And I've always

01:22.540 --> 01:25.400
felt that . And you know that anything ,

01:25.410 --> 01:27.466
anything and anywhere you go is what

01:27.466 --> 01:29.688
you make out of it . I intend to have a

01:29.688 --> 01:31.910
good time . I intend the marines that I

01:31.910 --> 01:34.077
work with . They have a good time . My

01:34.077 --> 01:36.299
goal is to take care of the marines the

01:36.299 --> 01:35.810
best I can and everybody under my

01:35.810 --> 01:37.921
charges responsibilities to take care

01:37.921 --> 01:40.143
of their marines as well . And when you

01:40.143 --> 01:42.254
do that , that harbors a community of

01:42.254 --> 01:42.150
people who care about each other ,

01:42.440 --> 01:42.860
right .
