I Never Found It Difficult As It Came One Day At A Time;
As I Became Better And Passed My Knowledge To The Others,
I Was Put In Charge. That's When It Became Simpler, The Golden Rule Took Over,
And We All Made Progressed From There

I appreciated being a leader in the Army because it was a great leadership experiment. However, the process was not overnight. These were my imperatives:

- Love your soldiers.
- Live by the Army values.
- Operational and mission accomplishments.
- Properly trained soldiers in individual and collective tasks.
- Caring leadership for the soldiers and families.
- Find innovative ways to say thank you. An example is arranging helicopter rides for the soldiers.
- Pushing for personal and professional growth.
- Reduce risks.
- Rolling up my sleeves.
- Build up morale.
- Ensure fairness.
- Having fun.
- Provide overhead cover.
- Be a stepping stone for greater things.

My framework is never difficult to define, it is rooted in my values
