Your dedication to our country is obvious and I am glad to see America produces hard chargers like yourself.
You will be gaining a Master's if Science in Management from ACoFS.
Do you feel like gaining customers from the population, who can go anywhere, a from of warfare? Is business war to you? But, not in the physical since.
Thank you for all your years of service to help protect our country CMC.

Thanks Mark,
I don't necessarily think of it as war but more of a challenge that I don't want to lose. The mindset is just an extension of what it took for all of us to succeed in the military: You are presented with a challenging task, you quickly analyze how best to achieve success, prioritize what needs to happen, then do it.

CMDCM Jason Tuschen What is the one most important thing you would tell newly Commissioned Officers (or) newly pinned Non-Commissioned Officers to concentrate on with regard to Leadership Development?

Thanks Mikel,
I tell them both to be humble yet confident. They need to be humble enough to realize they don't know it all and to ask for help, but confident enough to take that help / info onboard and make a clear decision. When people get thrust into a leadership role that is new to them they tend to either 1) overthink solutions or 2) be more dictatorial or 3) try to be everyone's buddy. All of those stem from a lack of confidence in my opinion. The best new leaders I have seen have been humble and confident. They also are not afraid to ask "Why". They do so not to be confrontational but to have a better understanding of what it is they need to accomplish when tasked from above.

CMDCM Jason Tuschen - Excellent response Jason. Thank you. I've seen number 1) and 3) happen many times with newly appointed junior leaders and newly pinned NCOs. Confidence and the way they carry themselves is key, but finding a strong mentor/coach is also a great ingredient for success (their go to Officer or Senior NCO) they can go and ask the "why" to. Great forum and great responses all around Jason - thank you for being here on RallyPoint today!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Mentorship is immensely important but it can't be forced. One thing that I noticed over the last decade was with the "millennial generation". That demographic more than any other that I have seen, actively seeks out opportunities to be mentored. It took me awhile to realize what was going on when JOs would come into my office and ask a bunch of questions. Once I realized what was happening, it became a great opportunity to mentor them. The side effect was that I probably learned more from them then they did from me.

CMDCM Jason Tuschen - I was in the same boat right up until retirement in 2012 at my last command. I learned a lot and they loved to ask a thousand questions. It use to drive my CSM up the wall when they cornered me in the hallway. The nice thing is they learned from me as well. When they cornered me and said, "COL Burroughs can ask you a question?" I immeidately when to Parade Rest in the hall and they followed suit, and I said, "Absolutely, shoot!" I utilized their talents as well in the Combat zone when it came to systems, websites, computer operations. I had some really good wizards on the computer in OIF 05-07 and put them to work big time. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and wisdom Jason. It was a pleasure reading through all the comments. Have a great evening!
