U.S. Marines do not make leadership a mystery. You shouldn’t either!
In 2010, I was struggling with my business, personal and financial. Fortunately, for me I received a thank you letter from a colonel in the U.S. Marines, John Church. Little did I know how this simple act of kindness would change my life for the better. After I read the letter I knew intuitively that Col. Church is a world-class leader.
The following are leadership lessons I learned from Col. Church.
Leadership Lessons from Col. John Church
- Leaders are learners and readers.
- Improvise, adapt, & overcome.
- Build and maintain trust-based relationships as a top priority.
- Prepare and
train to keep everyone prepared for the most challenging tasks. - Accountability and responsibility are critical.
- Marines have an honor code of a warrior
because they are warriors.
What are you learning? Who are you serving? What is your honor code?
