I cannot say more 06:58.871 --> 07:01.093 than thank you more than enough to what 07:01.093 --> 07:04.810 you're doing . I had a question that 07:04.810 --> 07:06.977 presented to me yesterday when I had a 07:06.977 --> 07:09.032 chance to meet with the class And it 07:09.032 --> 07:11.143 was a great question as it came to me 07:11.143 --> 07:13.310 asking me , what do I contribute to my 07:13.310 --> 07:15.366 success or success in the roles I've 07:15.366 --> 07:17.588 been as in the senior leader role . And 07:17.588 --> 07:19.810 it took me a quick minute , not long to 07:19.810 --> 07:21.588 really see that I contribute my 07:21.588 --> 07:25.120 successes too as a senior 07:25.120 --> 07:28.180 leader as in my engagement with people . 07:28.190 --> 07:30.301 And I think I wrapped it up with that 07:30.301 --> 07:32.301 and this was I know the C . S . A . 07:32.301 --> 07:34.412 Says the Chief Staff of the army says 07:34.412 --> 07:36.634 people first , well I've been living at 07:36.634 --> 07:38.968 my whole career always put people first , 07:38.968 --> 07:41.134 always have and always will always put 07:41.134 --> 07:43.357 my soldiers first , always want to make 07:43.357 --> 07:45.468 sure that I'm taking care of them and 07:45.468 --> 07:47.579 their families because if I take care 07:47.579 --> 07:49.690 of them , they will take care of me . 07:49.690 --> 07:51.634 So my audience that I'm talking to 07:51.634 --> 07:51.550 please understand it by directing a 07:51.550 --> 07:53.860 little more to the Mlc class . But this 07:53.860 --> 07:55.971 is also tidbits for my leaders I have 07:55.971 --> 07:57.916 in the audience as well . But this 07:57.916 --> 07:59.860 right now I'm gonna try to project 07:59.860 --> 07:59.440 toward his class because I like to 07:59.450 --> 08:01.672 leave a little bit of tidbits with them 08:01.672 --> 08:03.561 that they can use in their future 08:03.561 --> 08:05.783 career because when I take this uniform 08:05.783 --> 08:05.400 off , nobody want to listen to me then 08:05.410 --> 08:07.580 I'm just over leather guys wearing all 08:07.580 --> 08:09.747 the pins and stuff on my Beret driving 08:09.747 --> 08:11.691 the Uber van trying to take people 08:11.691 --> 08:13.858 somewhere . They don't wanna listen to 08:13.858 --> 08:13.800 you then . So let me get it out right 08:13.800 --> 08:16.020 now . All right , So let's start with 08:16.020 --> 08:18.076 this . It's about winning hearts and 08:18.076 --> 08:20.900 minds . If you win their heart and 08:20.900 --> 08:23.790 their mind , their butts are gonna come , 08:23.800 --> 08:26.430 the rest of them will come , they will 08:26.430 --> 08:29.660 come joyfully to come be with you as 08:29.660 --> 08:31.827 their leader because they see you as a 08:31.827 --> 08:33.993 servant leader . They see that you put 08:33.993 --> 08:36.160 them first . They see that you are all 08:36.160 --> 08:38.930 about their welfare . Soldiers can see 08:38.940 --> 08:42.420 sincerity a mile away . They can read 08:42.430 --> 08:44.750 genuineness . If you're just lip 08:44.750 --> 08:46.972 sinking it and you're just doing it and 08:46.972 --> 08:49.330 you're a 9 to 5 liter . Your soldiers 08:49.330 --> 08:51.520 gonna pick up on it just like that and 08:51.520 --> 08:53.742 what you're gonna do , you won't get by 08:53.742 --> 08:55.687 it . And I was a little bit of the 08:55.687 --> 08:57.798 conversation we had yesterday classes 08:57.798 --> 09:00.020 you want that buy in from your soldiers 09:00.020 --> 09:01.964 because once again , if they're on 09:01.964 --> 09:03.687 board , it's nothing that your 09:03.687 --> 09:05.631 organization cannot accomplish the 09:05.631 --> 09:07.742 limit for many of us that we face and 09:07.742 --> 09:09.909 will face as leaders that our soldiers 09:09.909 --> 09:11.964 have been through and continue to go 09:11.964 --> 09:11.660 through so much change and upheaval 09:11.670 --> 09:13.837 that they are questioning whether they 09:13.837 --> 09:15.726 have the motivation and desire to 09:15.726 --> 09:17.837 continue with organization , continue 09:17.837 --> 09:20.059 with the army and even continue pushing 09:20.059 --> 09:22.226 forward to be successful is imperative 09:22.226 --> 09:24.059 that leaders create a culture of 09:24.059 --> 09:25.948 motivation that's really core and 09:25.948 --> 09:28.114 excitement , which is achieved through 09:28.114 --> 09:30.281 engagement with your soldiers and your 09:30.281 --> 09:32.503 organization within your organization . 09:32.503 --> 09:34.726 I want to share with you what I created 09:34.726 --> 09:34.580 towards my successful career in the 09:34.580 --> 09:36.747 army and hope you can apply it towards 09:36.747 --> 09:38.858 your career . I have three points I'm 09:38.858 --> 09:40.691 gonna share with you today about 09:40.691 --> 09:42.858 engagement and then three steps I used 09:42.858 --> 09:45.024 that's used by me as a leader that has 09:45.024 --> 09:47.024 worked very successful for me . The 09:47.024 --> 09:49.800 first point when focusing on engagement , 09:49.800 --> 09:52.460 it's important to focus on 09:52.470 --> 09:54.414 understanding who the organization 09:54.414 --> 09:57.470 really well . It's important understand 09:57.470 --> 09:59.692 who in the organization is really ready 09:59.692 --> 10:01.914 and who , who may need some help moving 10:01.914 --> 10:04.137 forward . You got some people to report 10:04.137 --> 10:06.137 to you , they're ready to execute , 10:06.137 --> 10:05.790 ready to do everything you got to do . 10:05.800 --> 10:07.856 But some of them you gotta tow alone 10:07.856 --> 10:10.022 and you've got to recognize them , but 10:10.022 --> 10:11.967 you got to treat them all the same 10:11.967 --> 10:14.133 during these times . During times like 10:14.133 --> 10:14.120 this . A certain pattern of behavior 10:14.120 --> 10:15.860 sets into many organizations . 10:15.870 --> 10:18.200 Generally leaders , correct a strategy 10:18.210 --> 10:20.900 are living in the future . We're so 10:20.900 --> 10:22.860 focused so far ahead that we don't 10:22.860 --> 10:25.027 realize our soldiers are living in the 10:25.027 --> 10:27.027 now they're living in the present . 10:27.027 --> 10:29.027 What are you doing for me now ? Not 10:29.027 --> 10:31.027 what we're gonna do down the road . 10:31.400 --> 10:33.567 They are looking at the next quarter's 10:33.567 --> 10:35.733 timeframe Soldiers primary function in 10:35.733 --> 10:37.567 the presence that concentrate on 10:37.567 --> 10:39.622 accomplishing the key task of day to 10:39.622 --> 10:41.844 day missions that we asked our soldiers 10:41.844 --> 10:43.956 to do Many soldiers find it difficult 10:43.956 --> 10:45.956 to shift into the mindset of future 10:45.956 --> 10:48.122 strategy and they need time to process 10:48.122 --> 10:50.289 .2 , it's important understand when we 10:50.289 --> 10:53.100 what we mean by engagement . Energy , 10:53.110 --> 10:56.460 not time you can spend countless hours 10:56.460 --> 10:58.293 with a soldier , but if it's not 10:58.293 --> 11:00.627 quality and there's no energy behind it , 11:00.627 --> 11:02.682 then you're just really wasting your 11:02.682 --> 11:05.016 time . It is the currency of engagement . 11:05.016 --> 11:06.738 Engagement is a combination of 11:06.738 --> 11:08.849 perception of change events happening 11:08.849 --> 11:10.793 around you and the level of energy 11:10.793 --> 11:12.904 experience . So highly engaged people 11:12.904 --> 11:14.849 have positive perception on change 11:14.849 --> 11:16.849 going on around them and they put a 11:16.849 --> 11:18.904 high level of energy into their work 11:18.904 --> 11:21.071 and everything else they do . And then 11:21.071 --> 11:23.016 the last point is the purpose of a 11:23.016 --> 11:24.682 leader is to engage others in 11:24.682 --> 11:26.682 committing their full energy to the 11:26.682 --> 11:28.682 creation of value and success by in 11:28.910 --> 11:31.243 getting those soldiers to come on board , 11:31.470 --> 11:33.692 getting those family members to support 11:33.692 --> 11:35.803 that soldier in what the organization 11:35.803 --> 11:37.748 purposes and the direction they're 11:37.748 --> 11:39.692 going . But no matter how strong a 11:39.692 --> 11:41.637 leader you are , you cannot change 11:41.637 --> 11:43.859 soldiers . They have to make the choice 11:43.859 --> 11:45.859 to change themselves . You're gonna 11:45.859 --> 11:45.200 have three types of soldiers that you 11:45.200 --> 11:47.256 could be facing during this choice . 11:47.256 --> 11:49.422 You're gonna have those soldiers gonna 11:49.422 --> 11:51.533 be proactive , You got those soldiers 11:51.533 --> 11:53.756 are reactive and you got those soldiers 11:53.756 --> 11:55.811 gonna be inactive , Let's talk about 11:55.811 --> 11:55.720 the proactive ones . The proactive 11:55.720 --> 11:57.887 soldiers are fully committed . They're 11:57.887 --> 11:59.998 participating in all the activities . 11:59.998 --> 11:59.790 They're willing to comply with the 11:59.790 --> 12:01.846 organizational decision in a certain 12:01.846 --> 12:03.846 motion . They are in that proactive 12:03.846 --> 12:06.710 state when people are resistant to 12:06.710 --> 12:08.877 change and they gradually comply . And 12:08.877 --> 12:11.099 some soldiers , you got to realize some 12:11.099 --> 12:13.266 of them only do it to get even some of 12:13.266 --> 12:15.377 our comes your mission just cause you 12:15.377 --> 12:17.543 said I couldn't do it or that , well , 12:17.543 --> 12:19.766 you know what ? You don't tick me off . 12:19.766 --> 12:21.710 So I'm gonna do it my way and it's 12:21.710 --> 12:23.710 really a good a good even mentality 12:23.710 --> 12:25.599 that they're moving forward . But 12:25.599 --> 12:24.740 they're looking at the first 12:24.740 --> 12:26.740 opportunity . They're gonna disrupt 12:26.740 --> 12:29.018 this train that's moving on this track . 12:29.018 --> 12:31.129 These people can act as deterrents to 12:31.129 --> 12:33.240 an organization , growth and progress 12:33.240 --> 12:35.296 and those who step back and wait and 12:35.296 --> 12:37.407 see you have those two . Well , let's 12:37.407 --> 12:39.351 wait and see what's gonna happen . 12:39.351 --> 12:41.573 Let's see who else gonna get on board . 12:41.573 --> 12:43.629 And those people pretend to comply . 12:43.629 --> 12:45.851 They're disengaged entirely or they are 12:45.851 --> 12:45.740 what I call , that they're in an 12:45.750 --> 12:47.750 inactive state . They also can be 12:47.750 --> 12:49.694 harmful effects to advance in your 12:49.694 --> 12:52.180 strategy . The three steps I'm gonna 12:52.180 --> 12:54.402 close out with and telling you , how do 12:54.402 --> 12:56.624 you get after this . But first of all , 12:56.624 --> 12:58.624 to get started here are three steps 12:58.624 --> 13:00.680 that you can take today that you can 13:00.680 --> 13:02.736 take today or you can follow today . 13:02.736 --> 13:02.440 That's gonna help you become the leader 13:02.440 --> 13:04.440 that you want to be in dealing with 13:04.440 --> 13:06.551 these so heavenly soldiers make these 13:06.551 --> 13:08.607 choices . First of all demonstrate a 13:08.607 --> 13:10.551 clear commitment . You as a leader 13:10.551 --> 13:12.662 cannot be the wishy washy , you can't 13:12.662 --> 13:14.662 be on both sides of the fence , You 13:14.662 --> 13:16.773 cannot straddle a fence . We'd rather 13:16.773 --> 13:18.884 you take a stand and pick a side . At 13:18.884 --> 13:21.107 least we'll know where you're at . That 13:21.107 --> 13:23.273 shows commitment . The second thing be 13:23.273 --> 13:25.310 a positive role model for beliefs , 13:25.320 --> 13:28.010 practices , customs , behaviors , you 13:28.010 --> 13:30.066 want all your soldiers to exhibit in 13:30.066 --> 13:32.177 their interaction with one another in 13:32.177 --> 13:34.343 their day to day activity , Everything 13:34.343 --> 13:36.510 you want your soldier to be , then you 13:36.510 --> 13:38.700 need to be , don't ask them to be what 13:38.700 --> 13:41.710 you know , you're not , don't say do 13:41.890 --> 13:44.050 don't do as I say , not as I do 13:45.860 --> 13:47.971 and then last but not least encourage 13:47.971 --> 13:50.530 all soldiers to understand and share 13:50.530 --> 13:52.586 those same beliefs and behaviors and 13:52.586 --> 13:55.890 coach them , Coach , mentor train . It 13:55.890 --> 13:57.890 is important that you reach out not 13:57.890 --> 14:00.057 just to the soldiers , but you have to 14:00.057 --> 14:02.001 go that one step father and go one 14:02.001 --> 14:04.057 level deeper . A happy soldier has a 14:04.057 --> 14:06.168 happy home . If a happy home , If the 14:06.168 --> 14:08.446 home is happy then that soldiers happy , 14:08.446 --> 14:10.334 how can we ask our soldiers to do 14:10.334 --> 14:12.557 certain things when we haven't took the 14:12.557 --> 14:12.200 level to find out where they're at in 14:12.200 --> 14:14.380 their home life or maybe they don't 14:14.380 --> 14:16.602 have a home life . Maybe their barracks 14:16.602 --> 14:18.658 soldier , How are they building in , 14:18.658 --> 14:20.880 how they're doing in the barracks ? How 14:20.880 --> 14:23.102 often are we engaging in ? So you don't 14:23.102 --> 14:25.213 have a wife who doesn't have a spouse 14:25.213 --> 14:27.269 who does not have a husband . Are we 14:27.269 --> 14:29.269 asking this question ? How are your 14:29.269 --> 14:31.380 parents , what's the dynamics of your 14:31.380 --> 14:31.190 family ? We have to understand where 14:31.190 --> 14:34.080 they're coming from so we can know what 14:34.090 --> 14:37.370 they're gonna be for us . The cultural 14:37.370 --> 14:39.426 organization will happen whether you 14:39.426 --> 14:41.537 influence it or not . And as you move 14:41.537 --> 14:43.537 your organization through these new 14:43.537 --> 14:45.759 exciting times , are you willing to run 14:45.759 --> 14:45.670 the risk that your soldiers behavior is 14:45.670 --> 14:47.948 less than or not what you needed to be ? 14:47.948 --> 14:50.059 Are you a leader ? Are you gonna be a 14:50.059 --> 14:51.614 leader actively involved in 14:51.614 --> 14:53.781 establishing a culture of engagement ? 14:53.781 --> 14:56.570 If not you need to be And you start by 14:56.570 --> 14:59.230 setting the example , train to lead , 14:59.380 --> 15:01.610 lead the train live standard , rest 15:01.610 --> 15:02.610 assured . 15:20.180 --> 15:22.236 During the course , each student was 15:22.236 --> 15:24.458 evaluated on their abilities , aptitude 15:24.458 --> 15:26.569 performance and potential to serve in 15:26.569 --> 15:29.360 positions of greater responsibility at 15:29.360 --> 15:31.471 this time .
